Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that I have some calcification in the prostate. However, I don't feel any weakness at the moment. How should prostate calcification be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate calcification does not require treatment. Prostate calcification is a benign inflammation, as urine flow into the prostate can cause local inflammatory reactions. Usually, prostate calcification is discovered during a magnetic resonance examination. The term "fibrosis" refers to a local density that is lower than the surrounding density, which is likely due to remnants of previous inflammation or infection. If there are no obvious symptoms at present, treatment may not be necessary for the time being.Additionally, for the treatment of prostate-related diseases, it is recommended that you seek treatment at a local reputable public hospital. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting, not hold urine for too long, and urinate regularly. This can effectively prevent prostate calcification.
