Patient's question:
Sometimes there is a sensation of incomplete urination, and there is a slight discomfort in the inner thigh. Yesterday, I had a detailed ultrasound examination at the hospital. The kidneys showed normal morphology, with evenly distributed collecting systems. A strong echo cluster of approximately 11x9mm with shadowing was detected in the lower pole of the left kidney. The prostate showed normal morphology, with a size of approximately 42x32x25, and uniform. An echo spot of approximately 9x7mm was observed within it.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is a scar left behind by prostatitis after treatment, which may lead to the formation of prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these recurrent inflammatory conditions can be observed during a careful ultrasound examination. The male prostate is a crucial site for semen production, and prostatic calcification requires preventive measures. It is important to avoid prolonged sitting, excessive consumption of spicy foods, and to drink plenty of water to protect the prostate. In daily life, one should pay attention to not overindulge in alcohol, not hold urine, and maintain good hygiene of the genital area and sexual practices.
