Patient's question:
After a thorough examination, the of the prostate was poor, and an echo spot approximately 0.7 cm in size was observed internally, confirmed to be composed of prostate calcification spots. However, I didn't feel anything was really abnormal. What's going on? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind by recurrent inflammation of the prostate, serving as a precursor to prostatic calculi and a common complication of chronic prostatitis. Prostatic calcification foci are hiding places for bacteria, and treatments such as medication and microwave therapy cannot completely eliminate them. This is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to treat. The condition of prostatic calcification is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. It is important to quit smoking and drinking, as well as maintain good personal hygiene.
