What is the cause of prostate calcification during physical examination?

Older men are prone to prostate diseases due to heavy work and life pressures, coupled with bad living habits, such as often drinking with clients and staying up late. Many men are diagnosed with prostate calcification during their annual physical examinations. Many people do not understand prostate calcification, so they seem to be worried. So what exactly is prostate calcification?

Causes of prostate calcification: In clinical examinations, prostate calcification is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. The main reasons are that with age, some blood vessels and glandular ducts in the prostate age, the deposition of prostatic fluid in the glandular ducts, and traces of chronic inflammation that has healed spontaneously. Prostate calcification found in young people is mainly traces of mild inflammation that has healed spontaneously.

Calcification will not affect normal physiological functions. Most prostate calcifications are just traces of inflammation that has healed. Many people do not feel anything because the inflammation is mild, but inflammation will leave "clues" of calcification in the prostate, so it will be discovered by medical examinations. These calcifications will not affect the function of the prostate and do not require any treatment, so there is no need to worry.

10% of benign prostatic hyperplasia is accompanied by calcification. Some elderly people have obvious prostatic calcification and severe hyperplasia, which leads to difficulty in urination. Or if there are inflammatory reactions such as frequent urination and painful urination, they need to be diagnosed and treated by a urologist. Most prostatitis is sterile and does not require antibacterial treatment. Bacterial infectious inflammation and prostatic hyperplasia that require drug treatment should be used under the guidance of a doctor. In fact, most prostatic hyperplasia is caused by bad living habits. As long as you exercise more and don't sit for a long time, you can prevent prostatic hyperplasia and calcification.
