Prostate hyperplasia with calcification foci

Patient's question:

Frequent urination, painful urination. 2 years

Doctor's answer:

Hello, prostate calcification is the scar left by inflammation in the prostate, a precursor to prostate stones, and a common complication of chronic prostatitis. The calcified nodules in the prostate serve as a hiding place for bacteria, and treatments like medication and microwave therapy cannot remove them. This is one of the factors or causes contributing to the recurring nature of chronic prostatitis and its difficulty to treat.
As for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it is important to consider whether the enlarged prostate is due to uncontrolled inflammation. For the elderly, benign prostatic hyperplasia is often a more likely consideration.
Therefore, it is recommended that you seek a formal hospital for a clear diagnosis and follow the doctor's advice promptly to adopt appropriate treatment strategies based on the progression of your condition. Wishing you good health.
