It is suspected that the condition involves prostate calcification and fibrosis, which are scars left behind after recurrent inflammation and fibrosis of the prostate. These are precursors to prostate stones. It is recommended to undergo an international classification examination of the prostate to determine the type and severity of the inflammation and infection, followed by symptomatic treatment. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly receive symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
