Patient's question:
I recently feel that my body isn't particularly comfortable. The doctor said there's an issue with the prostate. What does the composition of prostate calcification spots mean?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification spots are also known as prostatic calcification foci. Generally, patients discover them through a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate during urology clinic visits or health check-ups. These calcification spots have no adverse effects on the patient or the prostate itself and do not require any treatment. They are primarily caused by the recurrence of chronic prostatitis in the past, leading to obstruction of the prostatic ducts. As a result, crystalline precipitates in the prostatic fluid cannot be excreted from the body through the prostatic fluid. Over time, they accumulate within the prostate, forming prostatic calcification spots or foci.
