Patient's question:
I discovered that I had prostate calcification during my recent physical examination. I would like to ask if it is due to age-related factors or other causes. What is prostate calcification? Are there any treatment methods available? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification, fibrosis, are scars left after inflammation heals in the prostate, and are a precursor to prostatic calculi. Suggestions: The calcified spots in the prostate are usually caused by chronic inflammation or prostatic calculi. They generally do not cause symptoms and do not require treatment, and are unrelated to age.
