Patient's question:
Recently, when urinating, I always have the feeling that I can't empty my bladder completely. Each time, I can only urinate a little. The urine is slightly yellow and has a foul odor. The stream is somewhat split and deviates to the left. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be prostatic calcification.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification can alter the structure of the prostate, causing fibrosis and poor mobility. It becomes easily attached to calcium within the prostate and other residual substances, forming larger calcification nodules. These nodules can easily become colonized by bacteria, leading to prostatitis. Prostatitis, in turn, can cause further calcification of the prostate, creating a vicious cycle. Recurrent prostatitis is a primary manifestation of prostatic calcification. The ultimate progression of prostatic calcification is the formation of prostatic stones. The condition tends to recur easily and requires long-term oral medication. It is essential to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately and to pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as maintaining good personal hygiene.
