Is prostate hyperplasia and calcification serious?

Prostatic hyperplasia and calcification is a common chronic disease that many people may not have heard of. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly men, that is, men aged 40 to 60, which is the high-risk age for this disease. The site of its onset is actually around the urethra. In fact, as long as male friends pay more attention to it and maintain good living habits, this disease will naturally stay away and will not come to you.

Prostatic calcification is one of the common prostatic lesions in men, and it often occurs between the ages of 40 and 60. Pathologically, calcification refers to the deposition of calcium salts in local tissues, which can be a normal physiological process or can be seen in certain pathological conditions. Due to the lack of typical clinical symptoms and signs, prostatic calcification is often discovered through imaging examinations when examining prostate diseases and other urinary system diseases. In imaging examinations, prostatic calcification manifests as strong echo foci or high-density foci in the prostate. With the popularization and improvement of ultrasound technology, the detection rate of prostatic calcification has increased significantly.

Prostate calcification should be distinguished from prostate stones. Prostate stones refer to true stones formed in the prostate gland ducts and prostate acini of patients. Such stones are as small as rice grains, can be round or oval in shape, and are hard in texture.

At present, it is difficult for medical imaging technology to distinguish whether the prostate calcification foci exist in the acinus or glandular duct (true stones) or in the stroma (false stones). Therefore, most scholars currently agree that in imaging examinations, the strong echo foci or high-density foci in the prostate are collectively referred to as prostate calcification.

Generally, no treatment is needed for prostate calcification without obvious clinical symptoms. If there are other prostate lesions, treatment will be given according to the specific situation.

This disease is generally not serious and does not require special treatment, but prevention is also important. The first thing is to maintain an active attitude towards life, build strong confidence, and believe that you can definitely overcome the disease. In addition, men should control the frequency of sexual intercourse, two or three times a week is appropriate. Too much or too little is not good for the body.
