Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for 10 years. Usually, I feel like I can't urinate or have intermittent urination, and I take medication. This time, the recurrence made me realize there are calcification spots in the prostate. What are calcification spots in the prostate? How can they be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is a scar left by recurrent inflammation of the prostate, which is a common complication of chronic prostatitis and a precursor to prostatic calculi. The calcified foci in the prostate serve as hiding places for bacteria, making it impossible for medications, microwaves, etc., to completely remove them. This is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to cure.From your current prostate ultrasound report, it can be seen that the inflammation in your prostate is mild. It is recommended that you pay close attention to the condition of your prostate in daily life, such as:
- Drinking plenty of water
- Avoiding excessive consumption of greasy foods
- Refraining from spicy and irritating foods
- Quitting smoking
- Moderating sexual activity
If necessary, you can visit a hospital for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's advice for medication.
