Patient's question:
I always thought that as one gets older, intermittent urination is a normal thing. But recently, the frequent nighttime urination problem reappeared, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found it to be prostatic calcification. I'd like to ask what the treatment options are for prostatic calcification. What should one do if they have prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination and diagnosis of prostatic fluid and ultrasound. Instrumental treatment, which involves physical therapy, can be effective, but it has a high recurrence rate. Using traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments can address the root cause and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Western medicine treatments may provide quick relief, but the probability of recurrence increases over time. For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
