Patient's question:
How is prostate calcification treated? When our unit conducted a health check-up, I was stunned when I saw the results. It said there was prostate calcification. They advised me to pay attention to aspects like diet and lifestyle. What is this condition? Does it have any impact? What measures should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is generally caused by chronic inflammatory infections, and it is prone to recurring prostatitis. The prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is a component of semen and directly affects fertility. Symptoms of prostatitis include pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, hip area, etc. If not treated promptly, it can lead to various complications such as seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis, premature ejaculation, male infertility, etc. Prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication.
