What factors or causes contribute to the development of prostate calcification?

Patient's question:

What are the factors or causes of prostate calcification? I am 36 years old, and I found out yesterday that I have prostate calcification after a hospital examination. Currently, I am completely confused and don't understand why I have this condition. Therefore, I hope to find a treatment for prostate calcification and hope the doctor can help me.

Doctor's answer:

Urethral foreign body sensation is the feeling experienced by patients with urinary tract stones during urination. Clinical cases of urethral stones are relatively uncommon. Most originate from the urinary system above the bladder, such as kidney stones, ureteral stones, or bladder stones. During excretion, stones may get lodged in the urethra, become trapped in the prostatic urethra, the navicular fossa, or the external urethral orifice. A few cases are secondary to urethral stricture, urethral atresia, foreign bodies, or urethral diverticula. Primary urethral stones are extremely rare. They are typically solitary stones. Stones with infection are mostly composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate. In females, urethral stones are most commonly found in the urethral diverticulum.
