What does prostate calcification mean? Does it need treatment?

Prostate calcification refers to the local presence of calcium salt deposits in the prostate. Whether treatment is needed depends on the specific situation.

Prostate calcification is usually caused by the blockage of the prostatic duct caused by the onset of chronic prostatitis, so that the deposits in the prostatic fluid cannot be discharged through the prostatic duct, thus depositing in the prostate. For a long time, it will appear as calcification or calcification.

If the calcification is relatively small and the patient has no obvious discomfort symptoms, special treatment is generally not required. However, if the prostate calcification is large or clinical symptoms occur, affecting the quality of life, the patient needs to cooperate with the doctor for surgical treatment to remove the calcification.
