Patient's question:
The other day, my partner and I went to the hospital for a check-up and were found to have prostatic calcification. How is prostatic calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is due to a previous prostatitis. After recovery, fibrotic patches are left behind. Prostatic calcification indicates a history of inflammation, which is now inactive. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it causes urinary difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If prostatic calcification or stones reappear, treatment is required. Fibrosis can expand into stones, causing various symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet.
