It is suspected that the condition involves prostate calcification and fibrosis, which are scars left behind after recurrent inflammation in the prostate heals. These are precursors to prostate stones. It is recommended to undergo an international classification examination of the prostate to determine the type and severity of the inflammation and infection, followed by symptomatic treatment. For patients with prostate calcification, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
