Prostate calcification

Introduction to prostate calcification Prostate calcification, fibrosis, is a scar left after the inflammation of the prostate is healed, and is a precursor to prostate stones. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, which is usually seen by B-ultrasound. Due to the specific structure of the prostate, there is generally no good treatment for calcification and stones. Prostate calcification (fibrosis), stones will breed bacteria, so it is a cause of recurrent prostatitis, can not be ignored. The calcifications in the prostate are mostly calcifications or prostatic stones caused by chronic inflammation of the prostate. Generally, there are no symptoms and no treatment. Prostate calcification or stones must be treated, calcification will develop into stones, causing various symptoms, and some patients can not eliminate the symptoms for a long time. To do a comprehensive examination to see if there is calcium calcification, it is difficult to completely cure the prostate disease without treating calcification of stones. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.01%-0.02% Susceptible people: more common in middle-aged men Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: uremia

Prostate calcification

Infection factor (35%):

Prostate calcification is usually formed after infection by chronic inflammation, and is prone to cause recurrent prostatic inflammation. Prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is a component of semen and directly affects fertility. It is usually accompanied by a painful feeling in the lower abdomen, perineum, and hip. If not treated in time can cause a variety of complications such as: seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis, impotence, premature ejaculation, male infertility.

Bacterial factors (30%):

Prostate calcification is due to previous inflammation of the prostate, leaving calcified plaques. Prostate calcification indicates that there has been inflammation before, and now it is still. Prostate calcification (fibrosis), stones will breed bacteria, so it is a cause of recurrent prostatitis, can not be ignored.

Inflammation (20%):

Prostate calcification, fibrosis, is a scar left by inflammation of the prostate and is a precursor to prostate stones.

Prostate calcification prevention

Life conditioning:

1, can not be overworked, can not stay up late, life is regular, daily life, anti-cold, cold, overwork easily lead to low immune function, easy to cause repeated attacks of prostate disease.

2, eat spicy Xin (such as: seafood, especially shrimp) spicy food, avoid alcohol (drinking easily cause recurrence of prostate disease), avoid tobacco; drink more water, more urination, keep the urine and urine smooth, to help remove prostate secretions; avoid Sedentary, long-term driving of motor vehicles should pay attention to seat heat, time to get off the activity and drinking water, urination; adhere to proper physical exercise, improve blood circulation to facilitate local absorption of inflammation; diet nutritious, enhance immune function, enhance resistance Sick ability.

3, eat less meat, meat and acidic foods (such as: egg yolk, cheese, dessert, tuna, flounder, etc.) eating too much will cause acidic constitution, susceptible to a variety of diseases.

4, eat more nut foods (raw pumpkin seeds, nuts), eat more vegetables, fruits, bee pollen.

Prostatic calcification complications Complications uremia

1, leading to the development of chronic nephritis into uremia

If the prostate calcification is not treated in time, it can lead to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The bladder outlet is pressed, so that the urine can not be completely emptied and residual urine appears. Residual urine is a good medium for bacterial reproduction, and the defense mechanism of bladder mucosa is impaired, so it is easy to cause urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. At this time, if the treatment is not complete, it will be developed by nephritis, hydronephrosis, etc. Finally developed into uremia.

2, affecting function prostate calcification is easy to lead to impotence, premature ejaculation

Because the disease has not been cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomforts are aggravated after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a kind of malignant stimulation to the patient, gradually showing a sense of disgust towards sex, leading to impotence and premature ejaculation. And so on.

3, can be contagious

Infected spouse causes gynecological inflammation Prostate calcification is prone to prostatitis, and prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special pathogen infections, the inflammation can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse. Such as fungal prostatitis, trichomonas prostatitis, gonorrhea prostatitis, non-gonococcal (Chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis.

4, affecting normal life impact work and life

Due to the stimulation of calcification, a series of symptoms, such as lumbosacral, perineal, testicular and other parts of the pain, urinary incontinence, frequent nocturia, etc., make patients irritated, affecting work and life. The prostate can secrete a variety of active substances under normal conditions. Prostate calcification caused by prostate calcification leads to inflammation of the prostate, endocrine disorders, which can cause neurasthenia, resulting in abnormal mental disorders; insomnia, dizziness, dizziness, slow thinking, memory loss and other symptoms.

Prostate calcification symptoms Common symptoms Urinary dysfunction urinating is not easy to empty the urine and urinary dysuria

1, early due to prostatic hyperplasia and even oppression of the posterior urethra and bladder neck, causing frequent urination, urgency, etc. (patients at this stage of treatment, the effect is excellent.

2, there is urgency, but can not be quickly discharged, urination is not as smooth as before, long time, urinary sensation, dysuria and other performance.

3, urinary incontinence, especially in the enuresis of sleep.

4, mucosal surface vasodilation or even rupture, bleeding occurs, manifested as hematuria.

5, acute urinary retention, that is, due to drinking, cold, fatigue, sexual intercourse, urinary bladder, etc., the prostate and bladder neck suddenly congestion, edema caused by acute obstruction and can not. Excrete on your own.

6, long-term bladder neck obstruction is easy to cause acute urinary tract infection, making the above symptoms worse.

7, hydronephrosis, renal insufficiency, clinical azotemia, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, anemia and so on.

8. In other aspects, a small number of patients may have bladder stones and urinary interruption. There are also a few people who have sexual libido, and sometimes there are frequent erections of the penis, but asexual desires. Frequent urination affects rest and excessive mental stress can cause symptoms such as elevated blood pressure.

Prostate calcification

Anal diagnosis

The easiest way is to check the prostate through an anal examination. You can check the size and shape of the prostate, and whether there is tenderness, so that the prostate disease can be diagnosed and screened. At the same time, prostate massage can be performed to check the changes in the properties and composition of the prostatic fluid.

B super

B-ultrasound is a common method for examining the prostate. It can be accurately measured on the prostate by means of rectal detection and transabdominal abdomen detection. The error is not more than 5%. It has important diagnostic significance for various prostate diseases, and has the advantages of simplicity, non-invasiveness, no damage, and rapidity.

X-ray examination

X-ray examination is of great value in the diagnosis of prostate diseases. For example, the plain film can detect the presence or absence of calcification or stone shadow in the prostate. Contrast can help check for prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer. CT examination is more important for the differential diagnosis of prostate diseases.

Prostate biopsy

Prostate biopsy is useful for identifying the nature of a prostate mass and is extremely helpful in defining the tissue typing and cytological features of prostate tumors. It can be passed through a rectal aspiration biopsy or a perineal biopsy. It has some pain and trauma, but it is very necessary.

In addition, the lower urinary tract urodynamic test is very helpful for the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Cystoscopy can directly observe the posterior urethra, fine sputum and prostatic and prostatic areas of the prostate, which is also very important for the diagnosis of prostate disease.
