Patient's question:
A friend went to the hospital for a health check-up, and the doctor said he had prostate calcification. I want to ask what prostate calcification is and what treatment is needed.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is one of the common prostatic inflammatory conditions in men, often recurring between the ages of 40 and 60. The term "fibrosis" refers, in pathology, to the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues, which can be a normal physiological process or occur in certain pathological conditions. Due to the lack of typical clinical symptoms and signs, prostatic calcification is often discovered through imaging tests during the examination for prostatic diseases or other urinary system disorders. Prostatic calcification can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment.
