Calcification of prostate

Prostate calcification and fibrosis are scars left after inflammation and healing of the prostate gland and are a precursor to prostate stones. Prostate stones are often accompanied by chronic prostate inflammation, and these lesions can usually be seen by B-ultrasound. Due to the special structure of the prostate, there is generally no good treatment for calcification and stones. Prostate calcification (fibrosis) and stones can breed bacteria, so it is a cause of recurrent prostatitis and cannot be ignored. Prostate cysts mostly occur in adults, and are more likely to occur in patients with diabetes. Clinical manifestations include urinary obstruction or stool obstruction. Urinary obstruction often causes acute urinary retention. Sometimes a thick secretion flows from the urethra, and the anus examination can touch the prostate with fluctuations, but it often appears in the later stage. Occasionally, an abscess breaks into the urethra, rectum, perineum, or space around the bladder, causing connective tissue inflammation. However, some patients may have no fever, mainly showing lower urinary tract obstruction, and many patients have epididymis and orchitis. Cyst surgery is mainly performed by drainage, such as perineal incision and drainage or transurethral prostate drainage.
