Patient's question:
My colleague has been experiencing frequent urination recently, but cannot urinate quickly. The flow is not as smooth as before, it takes longer, and there is a feeling of incomplete emptying. Urination is difficult. After a thorough examination, it was found to be due to prostate calcification.Doctor's answer:
Prostate calcification (also known as: Prostate calcification syndrome, English: Prostate calcification), fibrosis, is a scar left behind after the prostate undergoes inflammation and scarring again. It is a precursor to prostate stones. It is often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these inflammations can usually be seen through careful ultrasound examination. Due to the special structure of the prostate, there is generally no effective treatment. The fibrotic spots in the prostate are mostly caused by chronic prostatitis or prostate stones, and they usually do not cause any symptoms and do not require treatment, but they should not be ignored.
