Patient's question:
I once had prostatitis. I went to the hospital for it, took medication, and it went away. I haven't had it since. Recently, I went for a health check-up at the hospital and was told I have prostate calcification, but I didn't feel any abnormalities. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
What are the causes of prostate calcification? Prostate calcification is a scar left behind after the self-healing of prostatitis. Prostate calcification can easily lead to the recurrence of prostatitis, and if not treated promptly, it may cause conditions such as seminal vesiculitis, orchitis and epididymitis, as well as impotence and premature ejaculation. It is recommended to seek early treatment. The condition of prostate calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication to maintain it. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
