Early symptoms of prostate calcification
Disease description:
My friend is 35 years old and experiences painful urination and incomplete emptying of the bladder every time he uses the restroom. He also has to go to the bathroom multiple times at night. Are these early symptoms of prostate calcification?

Dr. Li Mingchuan
Prostatic calcification mainly results from urine reflux into the prostate, leading to inflammatory changes in the gland. Calcium salts in the urine may deposit within the prostate, potentially causing calcification. Most patients with calcification are asymptomatic, and some may only discover it incidentally during a color ultrasound examination. Generally, no treatment is required if there are no signs of prostatitis. However, if symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, burning sensation during urination, or white discharge after urination occur, active and standardized treatment for prostatitis should be administered.
