What is prostate calcification?

Patient's question:

Hematospermia. Urinalysis is normal... Ultrasound examination of the seminal vesicles, bladder, kidneys, and ureters is normal. What is prostatic calcification?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind after recurrent inflammation and fibrosis in the prostate. It is a precursor to prostatic calculi and warrants attention. Prostatic calcification generally does not cause any symptoms and does not require treatment. As for hematospermia, it may be caused by other factors such as prostatitis or fibrosis. This requires thorough examination to diagnose and then provide targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion, working overtime, maintaining a regular routine, and having a consistent diet and lifestyle. Prevent colds and ensure you get adequate rest.
