Botts Prostatitis with calcification refers to the pathological changes of calcium salt deposition in prostate tissue based on inflammation. It is usually caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, urine reflux, metabolic abnormalities and other factors. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and perineal discomfort.
1. Chronic inflammation stimulation
Long-term prostate inflammation will lead to repeated damage and repair of local tissues, and calcification may be formed in the process. Such patients often have symptoms such as burning sensation during urination and bloating in the lower abdomen. The discomfort can be relieved by taking a hot water sitz bath. The doctor may prescribe tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, Qianlieshutong capsules and other drugs to improve urinary function. In severe cases, physical therapy is required.
2. Urine reflux
When urinating, urine flows backward into the prostate duct, and the deposition of mineral crystals in the urine may induce calcification. This kind of situation is more common in people who hold in their urine for a long time or have urinary dysfunction. It is characterized by thinning of the urine line and interruption of urination. It is recommended to avoid sitting for a long time and holding in the urine. The doctor may use Alfuzosin Sustained Release Tablets combined with Long Shushu Capsules for treatment.
3. Metabolic abnormalities
Metabolic diseases such as hypercalcemia or hyperparathyroidism may promote the deposition of calcium salts in the prostate. Patients are often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as osteoporosis and polyuria, and require treatment for the primary disease, such as using calcium carbonate D3 tablets to regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and monitoring prostate-specific antigen levels at the same time.
4. Age factor
Middle-aged and elderly men are prone to fibrosis and calcification after prostate tissue degeneration, which is a physiological change. If there are no obvious symptoms, no special treatment is required, and regular ultrasound examinations are sufficient. If combined with prostatic hyperplasia, finasteride tablets may be considered to control the progression.
5. Calcification after infection
Calcified plaques may remain after bacterial prostatitis is cured, indicating a history of past infection. This type of calcification usually does not require treatment, but if new symptoms such as fever and hematuria occur, it is necessary to check for recurrent infection. The doctor may choose antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets based on the drug sensitivity results.
Patients with prostatitis and calcification should avoid spicy food, drink more than 1500 ml of water every day, and empty their bladder regularly. It is recommended to conduct prostate ultrasound and routine urine examination every six months. Exercises such as riding a bicycle that compress the perineum should be controlled for a limited time. Hot compresses on the perineum can help relieve uncomfortable symptoms. If you have worsening difficulty urinating or hematospermia, you should seek immediate medical attention from a urology department.
