Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria. Difficulty urinating, increased nocturia, and pain or discomfort in the perineum are also distressing and unsettling symptoms. In severe cases, the condition can lead to sexual dysfunction, causing inconvenience and pain in the patient's daily life and work. Later, I was diagnosed with prostatic calcification at the hospital. What are the harms of prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not treated promptly, can lead to prostate hyperplasia, affecting the control of the bladder outlet, making it difficult for urine to be completely emptied, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, and with the compromised defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa, it is highly prone to causing urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If the treatment is not thorough at this stage, it may progress from pyelonephritis or hydronephrosis to nephritis, and ultimately to uremia. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
