Uncover the secret: no symptoms ≠ prostate health!
In the actual clinical practice, some male friends, once they are detected with prostate calcification, the doctors who check will usually tell them that as long as there are no symptoms of prostate calcification, there is no need for treatment.
The meaning of this sentence can also be understood as follows: prostate calcification is normal, even healthy, as long as it has no symptoms.
Is this really the case?
Of course not!
The reason is very simple. When you think about it carefully, you will understand that a gland that is originally soft and elastic suddenly becomes hard and loses its elasticity. Can you say it is normal? Can you say that a gland with uniform parenchymal echo and smooth envelope suddenly has stronger parenchymal echo and rough envelope?
It is understood that prostate calcification, in addition to the hardness and elasticity of the prostate, is also easy to cause damage to the internal capillaries and sexual nerves of the prostate. On the one hand, it is easy to accelerate the aging and necrosis of the prostate; On the other hand, it will also cause certain damage to male sexual function.
In this regard, can you say that prostate calcification without symptoms is normal?
In addition, modern medicine believes that prostate calcification is the product of the healing and scabbing of the prostate. At the same time, because the calcified tissue of the prostate is easy to hide dirt, causing repeated attacks of prostatitis. Therefore, if the prostate calcification is not treated in a timely and effective manner, It is easy to have a vicious cycle of "calcification and incrustation cause inflammation → inflammation heals and crusts aggravate calcification → calcification and incrustation continue to cause inflammation → inflammation heals and crusts continue to aggravate calcification...".
In fact, most of the time, prostate calcification has no symptoms (strictly speaking, it should be no obvious symptoms). The main reason is that the condition of prostate calcification is not very deep. The calcified tissue of the prostate has not caused the obvious hardening of the prostate texture and the obvious deterioration of the elasticity, has not caused extensive damage to the internal capillaries and sexual nerves of the prostate, and has not caused obvious inflammation of the prostate.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to prostate calcification, other prostate diseases, such as (chronic) prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia, usually have no symptoms or obvious symptoms at the initial stage of the disease. For this reason, if it is simply regarded as normal, it is easy to miss the best treatment opportunity, resulting in increased difficulty in treatment.
Compared with patients with mild or no symptoms of prostate disease, patients with obvious symptoms of prostate disease are difficult to treat and have a long treatment cycle, which actually shows this point.
