What is the reason for prostatic calculi or calcification at the age of 23?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What is the reason for a 23-year-old having prostate stones or calcification?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatic calculi are a common prostate disease in men, frequently occurring in middle-aged and elderly males. They are primarily associated with ductal obstruction related to fibrosis of the prostate gland. Prostatic calculi can lead to recurrent urinary difficulties, affect bowel movements, and cause decreased libido, among other symptoms of prostate fibrosis. Clinical diagnosis is based on scars left after the prostate heals itself, as prostatic calcifications are relatively small, while prostatic calculi are larger. Clinical treatment should consider the individual's symptoms and the size of the calculi.
