Patient's question:
What are the differences between chronic prostatitis and acute prostatitis, and what are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Prostate calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after the prostate experiences recurrent inflammation and scarring. They are often a precursor to prostate stones. Prostate stones are frequently accompanied by chronic prostatitis, along with calcification (fibrosis) of the prostate. Bacteria can easily grow on these stones, which is another reason for the recurring nature of prostatitis. It should not be ignored. If there are no symptoms, it can be left alone for now. If necessary, a prostate fluid examination can be conducted to assess the condition of the prostate. However, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, urinate frequently, and clean the urinary tract to eliminate pathogens.
