Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. What is prostatic calcification? The results of my health check-ups for the past two years have shown this. I was told it's not a big deal and there's no medicine for it. Should I just ignore it? Besides, what precautions should I take in my daily life?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcifications are mainly caused by chronic prostatitis, similar to how a scar forms after a hand injury. This condition doesn't require any special treatment, and you can manage it by paying attention to your diet and lifestyle. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods like chili peppers. Instead, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently, ensuring your daily urine output exceeds 2000 milliliters. For patients with prostatic issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
