Patient's question:
Today I went for a health check-up and had an ultrasound which revealed prostate calcification spots. I've never had any prostate issues before. How is prostate calcification treated?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 attention promptly. Prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, considering treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
