    Calcified plaques on the prostate generally do not require special treatment and can be managed through dietary adjustments, moderate exercise, and regular review. Calcified plaques are mostly traces of healing from prostate inflammation or hyperplasia and usually do not cause symptoms or health risks.

    The formation of prostate calcification plaques is related to previous chronic prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and other diseases. Calcium salt deposition is left over during the repair process and is a physiological scar. In most cases, it will not affect urinary function or cause pain. Some patients may suffer from frequent urination and perineal discomfort due to prostatitis. If the ultrasound examination only shows calcified plaques and no other abnormalities, drug intervention is usually not needed. It is necessary to avoid sitting for long periods of time, reduce the intake of spicy food, and supplement with appropriate amounts of lycopene and vitamin E to help delay oxidative damage to prostate tissue. Doing exercises such as brisk walking or swimming 3-5 times a week can improve pelvic blood circulation.

    When calcified plaques are combined with persistent urinary tract infection or obstruction symptoms, the underlying disease needs to be treated in a targeted manner. For bacterial prostatitis, you can use drugs such as levofloxacin tablets, tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, and celecoxib capsules as directed by your doctor to control inflammation. If it is accompanied by severe difficulty urinating, transurethral resection of the prostate, etc. is required to relieve the obstruction. It is recommended that prostate ultrasound be performed once a year for review to observe changes in calcification plaques. Men over 40 years old can use prostate-specific antigen testing to screen for other lesions.

    Keep drinking more than 2000 ml of water every day, and avoid long-term riding or driving that puts pressure on the perineum. Moderate intake of foods rich in zinc and antioxidants such as pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, and salmon, and limit intake of alcohol and caffeine. If new symptoms such as hematuria, painful urination, or sexual dysfunction occur, you should promptly see a urology department for further evaluation.
