Patient's question:
What does it mean if there is too much calcium in the prostate? What are the effects on the body?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is caused by a previous prostatitis, which leaves behind calcified spots after healing. Prostatic calcification indicates a past inflammation that is now dormant. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it causes difficulty in urination, seek medical attention promptly.Recommendations:
(1) Avoid overexertion and staying up late. Maintain a regular lifestyle and routine, prevent colds, as colds and overexertion can lead to weakened immunity, making it easier for prostatic diseases to recur;
(2) Avoid spicy (e.g., seafood, especially shrimp) and alcoholic foods, as well as smoking (alcohol can trigger recurrence of prostatic diseases). Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and keep bowel and bladder movements smooth to help expel prostatic secretions. Avoid prolonged sitting; when driving for long periods, ensure the seat is well-ventilated, take breaks to move and hydrate, and urinate regularly. Engage in regular physical exercise to improve blood circulation, aiding local inflammation absorption. Maintain a nutrient-rich diet to boost immunity and disease resistance.
(3) Consume less meat, as excessive intake of meat and acidic foods (e.g., eggs, cheese, desserts, tuna, flounder) can lead to an acidic constitution, increasing susceptibility to various diseases;
(4) Eat more nuts.
