Patient's question:
There are slight calcium deposits in the prostate, with some symptoms. During medication, the symptoms did not decrease much. After stopping the medication, I took some traditional Chinese herbal medicine, but the effect was not significant. Instead, when I stopped taking any medicine and improved my lifestyle, the symptoms were basically reduced to a point where they could be considered absent, which can be said to be a cure. However, when going to the bathroom, it generally takes about 15 to 25 seconds to urinate. Could this be a symptom caused by chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is a mild prostatic calcification spot after careful examination. It is valuable to have tried drug and herbal treatments, but they haven't been effective. You have noticed some improvement yourself, but if you need to wait a long time before urinating when going to the toilet, it still proves there is an issue with the prostate. In this case, it is still recommended that you undergo a follow-up examination for prostatic calcification. The condition tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
