What is prostate calcification? Authoritative experts introduce

People are more familiar with prostatitis, but may be relatively unfamiliar with prostate calcification. In fact, it is very simple to understand. Some prostate diseases will leave scars, and then prostate stones and prostate calcifications will appear. Please see the introduction of authoritative experts below.

1. What are prostate calcifications?

Prostate calcification and fibrosis are scars left after the prostate inflammation heals, and are precursors to prostate stones. Prostate stones are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these lesions can usually be seen through B-ultrasound examinations. Due to the special structure of the prostate, there is generally no better treatment for calcification and stones. Bacteria will breed on prostate calcification (fibrosis) and stones, so it is also a cause of recurrent prostatitis and cannot be ignored. Prostate cysts mostly occur in adults, and are more likely to occur in diabetic patients. Clinically, they manifest as urinary obstruction or defecation obstruction, and urinary obstruction often causes acute urinary retention. Sometimes thick secretions flow out of the urethra, and anal examination can feel the prostate with a sense of fluctuation, but it often appears in the later stages. Occasionally, abscesses may rupture into the urethra, rectum, perineum or space around the bladder, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may not have fever, and mainly present with lower urinary tract obstruction. Many patients also have epididymal and orchitis. The surgical treatment of cysts is mainly through drainage, such as episiotomy drainage or transurethral prostatectomy and drainage.

2. Symptoms

1. In the early stage, prostate hyperplasia stimulates and compresses the posterior urethra and bladder neck, causing frequent urination and urgency.

2. Urinary incontinence, especially urinary incontinence during sleep.

3. Urgent need to urinate, but unable to urinate quickly; urination is not as smooth as before, takes a long time, there is a feeling of incomplete urination, and urination is difficult.

4. The blood vessels on the mucosal surface dilate or even rupture, causing bleeding, which manifests as hematuria.

5. Acute urinary retention is caused by sudden congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck due to drinking, cold, fatigue, sexual intercourse, and holding urine, resulting in acute obstruction and inability to urinate on one's own.

6. Long-term bladder neck obstruction can easily cause acute urinary tract infection and aggravate the above symptoms.

7. Hydronephrosis, renal insufficiency, clinical manifestations of azotemia, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, anemia, etc.

8. In other aspects, a small number of patients may develop bladder stones and urination interruption. A small number of people may also experience hypersexuality, and sometimes have frequent penis erections, but no sexual desire. Frequent urination at night affects rest and excessive mental tension can cause symptoms such as increased blood pressure.

3. Common knowledge about prostate calcification: To prevent prostate disease, you need to adjust your lifestyle:

(1) Do not overwork or stay up late. Live a regular life, have a regular routine, and prevent colds. Colds and overwork can easily lead to low immune function and cause recurring prostate diseases.

(2) Avoid spicy foods (such as seafood, especially shrimp), alcohol (drinking alcohol can easily cause prostate disease to relapse), and smoking. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and keep bowel movements smooth to help excrete prostate secretions. Avoid sitting for long periods of time. When driving a motor vehicle for a long time, pay attention to seat heat dissipation, get out of the vehicle regularly to move around, drink water, and urinate. Maintain proper physical exercise to improve your immunity. Eat a nutritious diet to enhance your immune function and disease resistance.

(3) Eat less meat. Excessive consumption of meat and acidic foods (such as egg yolks, cheese, desserts, tuna, flounder, etc.) will cause an acidic body constitution and make one more susceptible to a variety of diseases.

(4) Eat more nuts (raw pumpkin seeds, nuts), vegetables, fruits, and bee pollen.
