Do you really know what prostate calcification means?

The cause of prostate calcification is related to prostatitis, and it may also develop into prostate stones. Patients often have chronic prostatitis, which can be detected during B-ultrasound examinations. The disease is prone to recurrence after treatment.

1. What does prostate calcification mean?

Prostate calcification and fibrosis are scars left by prostate inflammation 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. Prostate calcification (fibrosis) and stones can breed bacteria, so they are also a cause of recurrent prostatitis and should not be ignored. Therefore, if you have symptoms of prostate disease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the disease!

The main time for men to develop prostate calcification is usually after chronic inflammation and infection, and it is easy to cause recurrent prostatitis and infection. The prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is a component of semen, which directly affects fertility. It is usually accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, hips, etc.

2. To prevent prostate disease, you need to adjust your lifestyle:

1. Do not overwork, do not stay up late, live a regular life, have a regular daily routine, and prevent colds. Colds and excessive fatigue can easily lead to low immune function and cause recurring attacks of prostate diseases.

2. Avoid spicy food (such as seafood, especially shrimp), alcohol (drinking alcohol can easily cause recurrence of prostate disease), and smoking; drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and keep bowel movements smooth to help excrete prostate secretions; avoid sitting still for long periods of time. When driving a motor vehicle for a long time, pay attention to seat heat dissipation, get off the vehicle regularly to move around, drink water, and urinate; insist on proper physical exercise to improve blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of local inflammation; eat a nutritious diet to enhance immune function and disease resistance.

3. The harm of prostate calcification

1. Prostate calcification is usually a scar left by inflammation. If not treated in time, it will induce seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, epididymitis, etc., and will also cause genital dysfunction, which will not only affect the quality of life of the couple but also affect the reproductive function. Due to the special structure of the prostate, prostate calcification is easy to breed bacteria. For young patients, it is also a factor in the recurrence of prostatitis and should not be ignored.

2. The most important point about the harm of prostate calcification is that calcification can develop into stones, which can aggravate prostate inflammation. Prostate stones refer to stones formed in prostate tissue or alveoli. Prostate stones themselves may be asymptomatic, and symptoms are mostly due to prostate hyperplasia, urethral stenosis or chronic prostatitis. However, prostate calcification cannot completely disappear. As long as it is within a certain range and there are no uncomfortable symptoms, the impact is not great.

3. If the calcification is caused by prostatitis, it may affect fertility. Chronic prostatitis will cause low sperm survival rate, prolonged semen liquefaction time, and lower pregnancy rate. Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions, prevention is better than cure, drink more water every day, avoid unclean sex, and reduce the chance of urinary tract infection.
