Patient's question:
How to distinguish between calcification in the intraprostatic gland and small stones in young patients?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by a previous prostatitis, which leaves behind calcified spots after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates that there was a previous inflammation, which is now dormant. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it causes urination difficulties, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The presence of prostatic calcification or stones must be treated, as calcification can develop into stones and trigger various symptoms. Some patients may experience persistent symptoms that do not subside, requiring a comprehensive examination to check for stones or calcification. Without treating the stones or calcification, it is difficult to completely cure prostatic diseases.
