Patient's question:
I am 42 years old. Recently, I experienced pain while urinating and had a thorough examination at the hospital, where it was diagnosed as prostatic calculus. I have only heard of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask you, doctor, what is a prostatic calculus?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is not a static organ; as one ages, the prostate gradually shrinks. It may develop recurrent retentional cysts, and sometimes it can also experience fibrosis again. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Men may sometimes experience recurrent prostatitis, which can be treated with oral antibiotics and Pulegan tablets.Prostatic calcification or prostatic stones do not cause pain. For patients with prostatic stones, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
