What are the differences between prostate stones and calcification?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What are the differences between prostatic calculi and calcification?

Doctor's answer:

Small prostate calcifications are usually related to prostatitis. If they continue to develop and gradually shrink, they may form prostate stones. Currently, a routine prostate fluid examination can be further conducted, along with a prostate ultrasound recheck every six months. If prostate stones have already formed and cannot be expelled, surgery may be required to remove them, otherwise it may lead to urinary pain and abnormal urination. The condition of prostatitis also needs to be controlled to minimize further damage to the prostate.
