Patient's question:
What is a prostate calcification focus?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification foci are hiding places for bacteria. Drugs, microwaves, and other methods cannot eliminate them, which is one of the factors or causes contributing to the recurrence and difficulty in treating chronic prostatitis. Prostatic calcification foci cannot completely disappear, and there is no need to strive for their complete disappearance. As long as they are within a certain range, they will not affect the body. After prostatitis is cured, calcification does not require treatment.Prostatic calcification foci may be related to the issue of stones, but apart from stones, prostatic tuberculosis, damage to the prostate, parasite eggs, calcification of tumors, and other factors can also cause prostatic calcification foci. Moreover, normal individuals can also have mild prostatic calcification foci. To determine which factor or cause is responsible for the prostatic calcification foci, a doctor needs to assess its location, symptoms, and other examinations.
