Doctor's answer:

Hello, prostate calcification is a scar left by inflammation in the prostate, a precursor to prostate stones, and a common complication of chronic prostatitis. Prostate calcification foci are hiding places for bacteria, and medications, microwaves, and other methods cannot clear them. This is also one of the factors or causes of the recurrence and difficulty in treating chronic prostatitis.
