Patient's question:
I am 46 years old and have prostatitis. My friend told me that prostatic calcification spots are highly related to prostatitis, and that prostatic calcification spots are even more than prostatitis. Is prostatitis a urinary tract infection?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is caused by an imbalance in the ratio of androgens to estrogens, leading to changes in the cell wall ratio, which can result in prostate calcification and fibrosis. It is a scar left behind after recurrent inflammation of the prostate. Medications, microwaves, and other treatments cannot completely remove these scars. This is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to treat. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
