What is prostate calcification and what causes it?

If prostate calcification develops further, the patient may develop prostate stones. The main cause of prostate calcification is that after prostatitis occurs, the prostate tissue necrses and calcium deposition occurs during the repair process.

1. What is prostate calcification?

Prostate calcification is caused by prostate inflammation, bleeding, tissue necrosis, and calcium deposition during the repair process. Generally, there are no symptoms and no treatment is required. If there is obvious discomfort, surgical treatment can be considered. Specifically, it refers to the scars left by prostate inflammation, which is a precursor to prostate stones. Prostate stones are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these lesions can generally be seen through B-ultrasound examination. Due to the special structure of the prostate, there is generally no better treatment for calcification and stones. Prostate calcification (fibrosis) and stones will breed bacteria, so it is also a reason for the recurrence of prostatitis and cannot be ignored. Therefore, if there are symptoms of prostate disease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the disease!

From another perspective, the appearance of prostate calcification may be caused by the occurrence of stones; however, stones are not the only cause of prostate calcification. Prostate tuberculosis, prostate damage, parasite eggs, tumor calcification, etc. can all cause prostate calcification. And normal people can also have mild calcification.

Prostate damage, prostate disease, or prostate inflammation can cause prostate calcification. Prostate stones in men are also one of the causes of prostate calcification.

2. How to treat prostate calcification

1. Eat less meat. Eating too much meat and acidic foods (such as egg yolk, cheese, desserts, tuna, flounder, etc.) will cause an acidic body constitution and make you more susceptible to various diseases.

2. Eat more nuts (raw pumpkin seeds, nuts), vegetables, fruits, rapeseed pollen, etc.

3. Causes of prostate calcification

1. Influence of urogenital system inflammation: Urogenital system inflammation such as seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis may cause prostatitis, which may further lead to the formation of prostate calcification.

2. Complications of prostatitis: If the patient's previous prostatitis is not completely cured, it is easy to leave prostate calcification, which is also one of the reasons for the recurrence of prostatitis.

3. Long-term impact of chronic inflammation: Chronic inflammation can cause the alveoli to dilate and the prostate duct to narrow. After urine refluxes, some salts will be deposited on the normal prostate glandular tissue, forming prostate calcification.

4. Don’t like to drink water: When men feel thirsty, their bodies are already very dehydrated, which causes a slight obstruction to metabolism. The urine becomes concentrated, and harmful and toxic substances in the urine accumulate, which can easily flow back into the prostate duct and cause harm and disease, and may lead to prostate calcification.
