Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty urinating, with a blockage, pain from holding it in, and white discharge from the urethral opening. The size of the prostate is normal, but it's a bit painful, which is very strange. Taking anti-inflammatory medication hasn't helped, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it's prostatic calcification. What treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
The vast majority of patients with advanced prostatitis have fibrotic plaques. It is recommended that you temporarily adjust your lifestyle to care for the prostate, such as: drinking more water, avoiding prolonged sitting, staying active, refraining from spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, and moderating sexual activity. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of your condition, if you experience significant symptoms, it is necessary to actively seek medical follow-up and take medication as prescribed by your doctor. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment.
