Is prostate enlargement with calcification prostate cancer?



Prostatic hyperplasia with calcification is not necessarily prostate cancer. Prostatic hyperplasia with calcification is only an imaging finding and cannot be used directly to determine the disease.

Prostatic hyperplasia is a benign disease. Calcification is usually a calcium salt deposition that occurs in the prostate follicles, and can be caused by inflammation after healing. Prostatic hyperplasia with calcification can be found on ultrasound, CT and other imaging tests, but cannot be used directly to determine whether it is prostate cancer or not, and further examination is needed to clarify when calcification is found.

Patients can use serum prostate-specific antigen for identification, and if necessary, combined with prostate puncture biopsy for pathologic examination to avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

Patients with prostate hyperplasia with calcification should actively cooperate with doctors to standardize the treatment, if the delay in treatment, it may cause frequent urination, urination difficulties and other symptoms, seriously affecting the quality of life. If patients find discomfort during treatment, they should inform their doctors in time to avoid adverse effects.
