Patient's question:
AgeDoctor, hello! Today, our unit had a unified physical examination. The ultrasound check showed that my prostate has some calcification, but the doctor said it doesn't need treatment. However, I'm still worried that the calcification area might get larger. I don't feel any discomfort in my body, and there are no symptoms. If I don't take any measures, will the calcification area get bigger? Are there any preventive methods? Why did I get this condition at such a young age? Is this disease related to my daily habits and diet? I look forward to your early reply. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the prostate calcification you mentioned is relatively common in middle-aged men during physical examinations. It is generally caused by changes resulting from previous prostate inflammation. Currently, it should not have a significant impact on your health.To prevent prostate calcification, the main approach is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting, reduce the intake of spicy, smoky, and alcoholic foods, and have a moderate sex life. Additionally, it is important to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment for prostate inflammation and regulate sexual function.
