Patient's question:
Last year, during my father's health check-up, it was discovered that he had prostatic calcification. However, at that time, my father did not experience any discomfort. Recently, he has been feeling some urinary frequency, along with itching and a burning sensation. When he went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was prostatic calcification and split prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left behind after recurrent prostatitis leads to inflammation and scarring in the prostate. They are often precursors to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are frequently accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these inflammatory conditions can usually be detected through careful ultrasound examinations. Due to the unique anatomical structure of the prostate, there are generally no effective treatments for recurrent fibrosis or stone formation.Bacteria tend to grow on calcified (fibrotic) prostate tissue, which is another reason for the recurring nature of prostatitis and why it should not be ignored. Prostatic calcification can be stabilized, but the treatment process is often slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, avoid prolonged sitting or horseback riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
