Patient's question:
I had previously had prostatitis, and after taking some medication, the condition was relieved. I have been using therapeutic infrared lamps for treatment ever since. I also noticed prostatic cysts before, but today during a thorough examination, it was found that there are calcifications in the prostate, and the cysts are still present, but their size has not changed. How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, prostatic calcifications and prostatic cysts are both caused by prostatitis. If there are no symptoms, periodic follow-up examinations are sufficient. Otherwise, medication to treat prostatitis should be taken. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, avoid alcohol, and do not consume spicy foods. Do not hold your urine, engage in appropriate activities, and avoid exposure to cold. Prostatic calcification is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, male patients should seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
