Patient's question:
By chance, I discovered prostate calcification during an ultrasound examination. I would like to seek your advice. Thank you. The rectal microwave treatment is quite expensive. I'm afraid of wasting money. Can rectal microwave treatment effectively treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after recurrent prostatic inflammation and scarring. They are often precursors to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are commonly associated with chronic prostatitis, and these inflammatory conditions can usually be detected through careful ultrasound examination.Hazards:
1. It can affect sexual quality of life.
2. It can impair the ability to liquefy semen.
3. It can reduce fertilization capacity.
4. It may lead to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct.
Spicy food is not a direct cause of prostatitis, but alcohol, chili peppers, and other spicy foods can irritate the prostate and urethra.
