Snowdrop Prostatic hyperplasia and calcification may be caused by aging, chronic inflammatory stimulation, metabolic abnormalities, local blood circulation disorders, genetic factors, etc. Prostatic hyperplasia and calcification can be treated through lifestyle adjustments, drug therapy, physical therapy, surgical treatment, regular follow-up, etc.
1. Age growth
Prostatic hyperplasia and calcification are more common in middle-aged and elderly men. As age increases, prostate tissue gradually undergoes degenerative changes. An imbalance in the proportion of prostate glands and stroma may lead to blockage of glandular ducts and the formation of calcifications after secretion retention. This situation usually does not require special treatment. It is recommended to maintain moderate exercise and avoid sitting for long periods of time.
2. Chronic inflammation stimulation
Chronic prostatitis may cause repeated damage and repair of local tissues, leading to the deposition of calcium salts to form calcifications. Patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and perineal pain. For treatment, drugs such as tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, cefixime dispersible tablets, and celecoxib capsules can be used to control inflammation. Daily care should be taken to avoid spicy food and alcohol stimulation.
3. Metabolic abnormalities
Disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body may promote abnormal deposition of calcium salts in prostate tissue. This condition may be aggravated by a long-term high-calcium diet or excessive vitamin D. It is recommended to control blood lipids through a low-fat diet and supplement vitamin K2 in an appropriate amount to help directional calcium deposition. Patients with metabolic syndrome need to control blood pressure and blood sugar simultaneously.
4. Local blood circulation disorder
Pelvic floor venous congestion or arteriosclerosis may lead to ischemia and hypoxia in the prostate tissue, thereby causing dystrophic calcification. Such patients are often accompanied by erectile dysfunction and can improve local circulation through infrared physiotherapy. In terms of medications, you can choose aspirin enteric-coated tablets, ginkgo leaf extract tablets, etc. to improve microcirculation.
5. Genetic factors
Some patients have a genetic tendency to increase the sensitivity of prostate tissue to androgens, which may lead to early occurrence of prostatic hyperplasia and calcification. Men with a family history of prostate cancer are recommended to undergo regular prostate-specific antigen testing after the age of 40. For early detection, pharmaceutical intervention such as finasteride tablets and dutasteride soft capsules can be used.
Patients with prostatic hyperplasia and calcification should drink 1500-2000 ml of water every day and avoid activities that put pressure on the perineum, such as riding a bicycle for a long time. In your diet, increase your intake of zinc-rich foods such as tomatoes and pumpkin seeds, and limit caffeine drinks. It is recommended to review prostate ultrasound every 6-12 months to observe changes in calcification lesions. If you have symptoms such as worsening difficulty urinating or hematuria, you need to see a urology department promptly.
