Patient's question:
What is the matter when a prostate calcification is found during a health check and does it require treatment? Previously, there was a problem with sexual intercourse, and after the divorce, the erection hardness was not good and the ejaculation was relatively fast. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left after inflammation heals in the prostate, often indicating the precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are frequently accompanied by chronic prostatic inflammation. These lesions are generally visible through ultrasound examinations. Prostatic calcification is a common pathological phenomenon, indicating a history of prostatic inflammation that later formed calcifications. Currently, it poses minimal impact on human health, so in clinical practice, it is usually not treated extensively but rather monitored.
