Do you need surgery for prostate calcification?

Calcification of the prostate usually requires no special treatment, but medication or surgery is needed if it is associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, recurrent infections of the prostate, or severe obstruction. Calcification of the prostate refers to the deposition of calcium salts in the local tissues of the prostate gland, and is generally more common in middle-aged and elderly patients. Generally speaking, there may be no obvious clinical manifestations, but some patients may have frequent urination, dysuria, painful urination, lower abdominal discomfort and other manifestations. For asymptomatic patients, regular follow-up is usually sufficient. Patients with infections can be treated with drugs such as cefixime and ofloxacin under the guidance of a doctor. If accompanied by benign prostatic hyperplasia, which leads to difficulty in urination, the symptoms can be relieved by removing part of the prostate, such as transurethral prostatic electrocision. If the patient’s prostate gland has recurrent infections or severe obstruction, prostatectomy can also be performed after the condition is stabilized. If prostate calcification occurs, the patient should consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate way of treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
