Patient's question:
Grandpa has been experiencing frequent urination and urgency recently. It seems to be a symptom of the prostate. Sometimes, when he urinates, it hurts a lot. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was determined to be prostate calcification. Can prostate calcification be cured?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification and fibrosis are scars left after prostatic inflammation and scarring, and are precursors to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis and can be detected through careful ultrasound examination. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, there are usually no better treatments for fibrosis and calculi. Prostatic calcification (fibrosis) and calculi can foster bacteria, making them one of the causes of prostatitis and should not be ignored. Most fibrotic spots in the prostate are caused by fibrosis resulting from chronic prostatitis or prostatic calculi, and usually show no symptoms and do not require treatment. Some patients experience persistent symptoms that cannot be completely eliminated, and a comprehensive examination is necessary to determine if fibrosis is present. Without treating fibrosis, it is difficult for prostatic diseases to fully heal on their own.
