Prostatic calcification refers to the presence of calcium deposits in the prostate gland.
Prostatic calcification caused by prostatitis primarily refers to the fibrous calcification deposits that occur in the local tissue of the prostate after the prostatitis has healed. Simply put, it refers to the scar tissue left after a prostate infection. Under color ultrasound examination, it appears as a strong echo cluster, and under CT examination, it appears as a high-density shadow. The presence of prostatic calcification lesions usually does not cause discomfort for most patients and is often discovered during routine ultrasound examinations during physical check-ups. For those cases where there are no discomfort symptoms associated with prostatic calcification lesions or spots, no special treatment is needed, as they do not pose a significant risk to health.
