Dr. Li Mingchuan
Prostate calcification is not hereditary and will not be passed on to the next generation, as most cases of prostate issues are caused by acquired environmental or dietary factors. Prostate calcification is typically triggered by prostatitis. Since the prostate itself is not inherited, prostate calcification cannot be genetically transmitted to offspring. Men suffering from prostate problems often experience significant discomfort in daily life. Therefore, to improve their quality of life, they should pay close attention to maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
