How should testicular microlithiasis be treated?

Patient's question:

Hello, how should testicular microlithiasis be treated? Can it be cured? Will it transform into cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Microcalcification in the testis is a syndrome composed of numerous calcification foci distributed within the seminiferous tubules of the testis, with a diameter of less than 3 mm. Generally, it shows no obvious symptoms and may not require treatment. However, it carries the risk of leading to testicular tumors. It is recommended to undergo periodic ultrasound follow-up, typically every six months to a year. The testis can be resolved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high likelihood of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment, hoping that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
