Patient's question:
Sometimes there is a feeling of incomplete urination, and there is a slight discomfort in the inner side of the left thigh. Yesterday, I had a detailed ultrasound examination at the hospital. The kidneys have normal morphology, with evenly distributed collecting system widening. An approximately 11x9mm strong echo mass with shadow was detected in the lower pole of the left kidney. The prostate has normal morphology, with a size of about 42x32x25, and the parenchyma has uniform echoes. An approximately 9x7mm strong echo spot 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. Prostatic calcification requires prevention, and it is important to avoid prolonged sitting, excessive consumption of spicy foods, and maintain adequate hydration to protect the prostate. In daily life, it is essential to avoid excessive alcohol consumption, holding back urine, and pay attention to personal hygiene of the genital area and sexual practices.
