Patient's question:
Previously, I had an examination for prostatitis and thought nothing was wrong. I took medication for a year. This time, the examination revealed prostate calcification. What is prostate calcification? I haven't noticed any discomfort or symptoms at all. Moreover, is it normal for someone in their 20s to have prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Fibrosis is essentially a form of cellular adaptation. In other words, it involves some tissue necrosis, presenting as a solid state that never changes. So, if there is only a small amount of fibrosis that occurs multiple times, it's generally not a major issue. If your careful examination shows no other abnormalities and you don't have any clinical symptoms, there's no need to consider intervention—just continue to monitor carefully.
