Patient's question:
AgeDoctor, hello! Today, our unit had a unified physical examination. The ultrasound 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 would I get this condition at such a young age? Is it 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 due to previous prostatitis. 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, have moderate sexual activity, and first undergo anti-inflammatory treatment for prostatitis to regulate sexual function.
