Patient's question:
I once had prostatitis and went to the hospital for it. After taking medication, it went away, and I haven't had it again. Recently, I went for a health check-up at the hospital and was told I have prostate calcification, but I didn't feel any abnormalities.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by previous prostatitis, leaving behind fibrotic patches after healing. Clinical diagnosis symptoms are not prominent, and if urination difficulties reappear, it is necessary to seek medical attention early for thorough examination. Regarding the condition of urine splitting, it is usually divided into two types: one where the urine immediately splits after exiting the urethral opening, and the other where the urine splits after traveling a certain distance from the urethral opening. The general causes are usually urinary tract infections or prostatitis. In addition to irritations from smoking, alcohol, holding urine, physical weakness, and nervous tension, it is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene and seek medical examination early after ruling out other factors to understand and treat the condition.
