Some male friends will be frightened by the results of "prostate calcification" after prostate ultrasound examination.
Many male patients will be very surprised, obviously there is nothing abnormal in the body, why do they suddenly have prostate calcification? Will there be any adverse effects?
With age, the function of the prostate may gradually decrease, and the risk of disease is high, and some men have prostate calcification, so does prostate calcification need treatment?
Is prostate calcification a disease?
First of all, we need to make it clear that in these examinations, such as B-ultrasound or CT, the patient will find some high-density, hyperechoic and high-intensity tissue and imaging manifestations in the prostate.
Its reason is mainly due to the blockage of the prostate glandular duct, the prostatic fluid can not be well discharged from the body, and after the accumulation is completed in the body, it is coagulated and crystallized to form prostate stones, and at this time, it can be seen in the prostate imaging that there are some calcifications in the prostate.
So how does prostate calcification occur?
1. Concurrent prostatitis
If the patient's previous prostate inflammation is not completely cured, it is easy to leave prostate calcification, which is also one of the causes of prostatitis recurrence.
2. The influence of inflammation of the genitourinary system
Genitourinary inflammation such as seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis, etc., may cause prostatitis, which is likely to lead to prostate calcification.
3. Long-term effects of chronic inflammation
Chronic inflammation causes acinar dilation, narrowing of the prostatic ducts, and reflux of urine with some salts deposited on normal prostate gland tissue, forming prostate calcification.
4. Don't like to drink water
When men feel thirsty, the body is already very dehydrated, which has a slight hindrance to metabolism, urine is concentrated, and harmful and toxic substances in the urine accumulate, which is easy to flow back into the prostate duct to form harmful disease, and it is likely to form prostate calcification.
Does prostate calcification need treatment?
Calcification of the prostate gland generally does not have a significant impact on the body, and the impact on kidney function, sexual function and other organs of the body is almost negligible.
If there are no obvious symptoms of prostate calcification, doctors will basically not ask you to do other treatments.
However, it should be noted that although prostate calcification is not terrible, it is usually unlikely to disappear completely, so you should be mentally prepared for this.
However, if there is urinary frequency, urgency, painful urination, and increased nocturia...... It is recommended that you pay attention to these uncomfortable symptoms, and if you feel unwell, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.
How to prevent prostate calcification in life?
01
Drink plenty of water and don't hold your urine:
Maintain about 2500ml of water intake every day to reduce the concentration of harmful substances in the urine and avoid the occurrence of prostatitis.
02
Avoid sitting for long periods of time:
If you sit and work for a long time, you should pay attention to the heat dissipation of the seat, and occasionally get up and move to improve blood circulation and reduce the chance of prostate inflammation.
