Prostatic calcification

　　What are the causes of prostatic calcification?

　　2. The causes of prostatic calcification can be divided into the following two types:

　　1. Prostatic calcification is generally formed after chronic inflammatory infection, and it is also prone to cause recurrent prostatic inflammatory infections. The prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is part of the seminal fluid and directly affects fertility.

　　Prostatic calcification or calculi should be treated in a timely manner, otherwise it may lead to the following complications:

　　1. Lead to chronic nephritis developing into uremia

　　If prostatic calcification is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, compressing the bladder outlet, causing incomplete emptying of urine, and residual urine. Residual urine is a good culture medium for bacterial proliferation. In addition, the defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa is damaged, making it prone to urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. At this time, if the treatment is not thorough, it can develop into nephritis, and finally into uremia.

　　2. Prostatic calcification is prone to cause impotence and premature ejaculation

　　Due to the long-term failure to be cured, various symptoms and discomforts are exacerbated after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a malignant stimulus to the patient, gradually developing into a feeling of aversion towards sex, leading to phenomena such as impotence and premature ejaculation.

　　3. Transmission to the spouse can cause gynecological inflammation

　　Prostatic calcification is prone to cause prostatitis, and prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially in cases of prostatitis caused by special pathogenic bacteria, the inflammation can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse. Such as mycotic prostatitis, trichomonal prostatitis, gonorrheal prostatitis, and non-gonococcal (chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis, etc.

　　4. Affects work and life

　　Due to the stimulation of inflammation at the calcified site, a series of symptoms such as distension and pain in the lumbar sacral, perineal, and testicular areas, incomplete urination, frequent nocturnal urination, and others occur, making the patient restless and affecting work and life. Normally, the prostate can secrete a variety of active substances. Due to the proliferation of bacteria caused by prostatic calcification, inflammation of the prostate can occur, leading to endocrine disorders, which can cause neurasthenia, resulting in abnormal mental state; symptoms such as insomnia with frequent dreams, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and decreased memory may also occur.

　　Prostatic calcification often预示着 the occurrence of prostatic calculi, and usually patients with this condition will have the following clinical symptoms:

　　1. In the early stage, due to the stimulation and compression of the posterior urethra and bladder neck by prostatic hyperplasia, it causes frequent urination and urgency (if the patient is treated at this stage, the effect is excellent).

　　2. Urgency of urination, but unable to be voided quickly, with less free-flowing urination than before, showing symptoms such as incomplete urination and difficulty in urination.

　　3. Incontinence of urine, especially enuresis during sleep.

　　4、粘膜面血管扩张甚至破裂，发生出血，表现为血尿。

　　5、急性尿潴留，即因饮酒、受凉、劳累、房事、憋尿等使前列腺及膀胱颈部突然充血、水肿造成急性梗阻而不能。

　　6、长期膀胱颈部梗阻易造成急性尿路感染，使上述症状加重。

　　7、肾积水、肾功能不全、临床上出现氮质血症、食欲减退、恶心、呕吐、贫血等。

　　8、其他方面，少数病人可发生膀胱结石，出现排尿中断现象。也有少数人出现性欲亢进，有时则出现阴茎频繁勃起，但无性的欲望。夜尿频影响休息和精神过度紧张可引起血压升高等症状。

　　为预防前列腺钙化的发生，广大朋友应该注意下面的日常保健措施：

　　1、保持良好心情，培养兴趣爱好，树立顽强的信心，消除焦虑情绪，转移对前列腺疾病的注意力。

　　2、注意饮食，忌辛辣食物，多吃水果蔬菜，养成良好的生活习惯。

　　3、注意劳逸结合，防止过度疲劳，适当进行体育锻炼，尤其是加强盆腔肌肉的运动，严禁长期久坐、骑自行车、坐潮湿之地等。

　　前列腺钙化的检查方法较多，现具体介绍如下：

　　1、最简便的方法是经肛门指诊检查前列腺，可以检查前列腺的大小、外形、有无压痛，从而对前列腺疾病进行初步诊断和筛检。同时可行前列腺按摩，检查前列腺液的性状和成分变化。

　　2、B超是检查前列腺的常用方法，有经直肠探测法和经耻骨上腹部探测法等方式，可对前列腺做出准确测量，其误差不超过5％。对于各种前列腺疾病均有重要的诊断意义，具有简便、无创、无损伤、快速等优点。

　　3、X线检查在前列腺疾病的诊断中有重要价值。如平片可检测前列腺有无钙化或结石影。造影可帮助检查有无前列腺增生或前列腺癌。CT检查对前列腺疾病的鉴别诊断更具有重要意义。

　　4、前列腺穿刺活组织检查对于明确前列腺肿块的性质十分有用，对明确前列腺肿瘤的组织分型和细胞学特征帮助极大。可以经直肠针吸活检，也可以经会阴穿刺活检，有一定的痛苦和创伤，但十分必要。

　　5、另外，下尿路尿流动力学检查对诊断前列腺增生症有很大帮助，膀胱镜检查可直接观察后尿道、精阜及前列腺中叶及侧叶增生情况，对诊断前列腺疾病也十分重要。

　　合理的饮食才能帮助疾病得到更好更快的康复，下面就为大家介绍一下前列腺钙化患者的饮食原则。

　　1、患有前列腺钙化应忌食辛辣食物，如辣椒、生姜、葱、蒜类。

　　2. Avoid eating seafood products, especially shrimp.

　　3. Prostatic calcification patients should eat less meat products, as excessive consumption of meat products and acidic foods (such as egg yolks, cheese, desserts, tuna, flounder, etc.) can cause acidic body constitution, making it prone to various diseases.

　　4. Avoid alcohol (drinking is easy to cause recurrence of prostatic disease), avoid smoking; eat more nuts (such as raw pumpkin seeds, nuts), and more vegetables, fruits, and bee pollen.

　　5. Pay attention to drinking more water, urinating more often, not holding urine, and preventing colds, prolonged sitting, and overexertion.

　　Prostatic calcification or calculi must be treated, otherwise it will bring great harm to patients. At present, the main treatment methods for this disease are as follows, which are introduced below:

　　1. Antibiotic Treatment

　　This is the basic and commonly used method for treating calcification of the prostate at present. Antibiotic treatment of acute prostatitis can be effective for controlling clinical symptoms. However, the efficacy is not satisfactory for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Firstly, the drug resistance of bacteria, pathogens, and microorganisms is an obstacle that antibiotics cannot overcome. Secondly, it is difficult for drugs to reach an effective therapeutic concentration in the acinar cells, making it difficult to exert the therapeutic effect on the calcification of the prostate. This causes a vicious cycle where symptoms are alleviated with medication but recur after stopping medication. Some hospitals advocate for high-dose and long-term medication, which not only cannot cure prostatitis but also increases the burden on the liver and kidneys, causing abnormal liver and kidney function, which in turn worsens the condition.

　　2. Adenocarcinoma Injection Therapy

　　This treatment method is an supplementary method for the antibiotic treatment of calcification of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Because it is difficult to achieve an effective therapeutic concentration of antibiotics in the prostate gland, the treatment of injecting antibiotics directly into the prostate has emerged. Hospitals have also recommended this treatment method in large numbers in the past, but many years of clinical practice have shown that this therapy has the disadvantage of not being able to be completely cured.

　　3. Physical Therapy

　　The physical therapy for calcification of benign prostatic hyperplasia is a method that uses various physical factors such as electricity, heat, light, sound, and water to act on the prostate gland, improve local blood circulation, and help inflammation to subside. However, it cannot kill bacteria, pathogens, and pathogenic microorganisms fundamentally, and it is only used as an auxiliary treatment in clinical practice.
