Patient's question:
What is the difference between acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, and what is prostatic fluid?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification, fibrosis, are scars left behind after recurrent prostatitis and scarring in the prostate. They are often a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are frequently accompanied by chronic prostatitis and calcification (fibrosis) of the prostate. Bacteria can easily grow on these stones, making them a recurring cause of prostatitis that should not be ignored. If there are no symptoms, it can be left unattended for now. If necessary, a prostatic fluid examination can be conducted to assess the condition of the prostate.
