Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Treatment methods for prostate calcification include the following:
1. Drug therapy: For patients with symptoms of prostatitis, antibiotics can be used to eliminate the source of infection. At the same time, medications such as alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors can be used to improve urinary symptoms, reduce prostate congestion and edema, which is beneficial for the absorption of calcified lesions.
2. Physical therapy: Urethral microwave therapy or radiofrequency ablation may be suitable for patients with urinary obstruction who do not respond well to drug therapy. Local massage and ultrasound therapy can also help relieve symptoms.
3. Lifestyle modifications: Patients are advised to maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting, pay attention to a healthy diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, limit spicy and irritating foods, exercise regularly, and maintain a positive mindset.
4. Surgical treatment: When prostate calcification recurs frequently or is accompanied by severe obstruction or enlargement, prostatectomy may be required.
5. Regular follow-up: Patients with no symptoms or only mild symptoms are generally advised to undergo regular follow-up to monitor disease progression, without requiring specific treatment.
