Small nodular calcifications in the prostate refer to small areas of calcium deposits found in the prostate tissue.
Small nodular calcifications in the prostate refer to small areas of calcium deposits found in the prostate during ultrasound, X-ray and other imaging examinations. This deposit is usually caused by abnormal deposition of calcium salts in the prostate gland or prostate duct. Small nodular calcifications in the prostate can be seen in prostatitis, prostate stones and benign prostatic hyperplasia, etc. Because calcifications are relatively small and few in number, they often do not need special treatment, but only need to be treated for the corresponding primary disease.
