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 that is now dormant. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. If it causes urinary 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 cause various symptoms. Some patients may experience persistent symptoms that do not resolve, requiring a comprehensive examination to check for stones or calcification. Without treating stones or calcification, it is difficult to fully cure prostatic diseases.
