Patient's question:
Abdominal fullness and heaviness, headache. This has been going on for many days. I have had prostatitis before, but it has been treated and cured. I went to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor said I have prostate calcification. What is prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic patches after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was inflammation in the past, which is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it leads to urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical follow-up promptly to examine the characteristics and composition changes of prostatic fluid. Prostatic calcification can be stable, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential during treatment. Patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
