Patient's question:
I am 46 years old and have developed prostatic calcification. My friend told me that prostatic calcification nodules are closely related to prostatitis, and that prostatic calcification nodules are even more than prostatitis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification refers to fibrotic tissue formed due to repeated episodes of prostatitis, commonly known as scar tissue. It generally does not require treatment and cannot be completely cured. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid drinking strong alcohol, consuming spicy and greasy foods, and limiting coffee intake. Additionally, reduce the consumption of refined sugar and white flour. Instead, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Consuming seed-based foods like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds can also be beneficial. It is important not to increase fluid intake due to frequent urination, as more water can help dissolve urine. Timely consultation with a professional and reputable hospital is necessary, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
