Doctor's answer:
Hello, the calcifications in the prostate are mostly caused by chronic inflammation or prostatic calculi in the prostate. Generally, they do not cause any symptoms, but they can be a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these lesions can usually be detected through ultrasound examinations. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, there is generally no effective treatment for calcification or calculi. Bacteria can grow on calcified (fibrotic) or calcified stones in the prostate, making them a cause of recurrent prostatitis, which should not be ignored. Varicocele, if not treated in a timely manner, can affect sperm quality, leading to infertility. You can choose varicocelectomy performed under the microscope, which is a surgical method that allows experienced surgeons to operate with advanced equipment to improve the precision and success rate of the surgery.
