Reasons for the formation of calcifications in the prostate and methods of pathology therapy

What are calcifications? The presence of calcifications in the area of the prostate gland is a dense formation with an inorganic character. Calcifications in the prostate are formed due to the influence of groups with an unfavorable factor, such as inflammation, congestion, hormonal disorders.

As a result of such pathological disorders, the formation of salt deposits (calcification) in clots of the secretory fluid of the prostate gland appears. The risk group is a strong half of humanity aged 44 and over.

List of causes of calcification in the prostate gland

Factors causing calcifications in the male gland are:

• infectious diseases of the urethra region;
• inflammatory processes, in which salt accumulations are formed as protective organismic mechanisms against infectious foci;
• ejection of the urethra into the prostate gland;
• thick prostatic secretory fluid resulting from irregular sexual intercourse;
• changes in the chemical composition of the secretory fluid of the prostate gland (due to a lack of lemon acid in the prostate, calcium deposits are formed);
• disregard for the principles of physical active life-history, a sedentary lifestyle;
• lack of basic principles of healthy nutrients.

Depending on the reasons for the formation of calcifications in the prostate gland, they are usually distinguished into primary and secondary forms. For the most part, the occurrence of calcifications in the prostate is attributed to the first form, and the secondary ones can be formed as a consequence of the throwing of the urethra along the ducts of the prostate gland.

This pathological type can occur due to trauma to the genital organ during surgery, inflammation, as well as the presence of calculi in the urethra when the body gets rid of them.

The presence of prostate calcification is called prostate calcinosis. Stone formations can become one of the causes of inflammatory processes in muscle tissue, as a result, the phenomenon of calculous prostatitis occurs, which, as soon as it takes on a chronic form, is practically not amenable to therapy.

Determination of symptoms of calcification

As a reason for a high-quality check of prostate calcifications, the presence of such symptoms can be considered:

• Difficulty urinating, which is characterized by a high frequency of urge to empty the bladder, a sensation of residual urine that has not been released. The early stage of the progression of the pathology implies the absence of painful sensations associated with urination, but the manifestations of painful syndromes are possible when the pathology begins to develop at an accelerated rate.
• Painful sensation in the groin area. Discomfort, as well as tension can spread to the spinal cord, lumbar region, scrotum.
• Visual vision of plasma impurities during urination, or ejection of semen during sexual intercourse.
• Erectile dysfunction.

These symptoms are the reason for a mandatory examination by a doctor.

Methods for diagnosing prostate calcification

Timely diagnosis of the process of prostatic calcification is very difficult, due to the fact that the smallest formation may not appear in any way over a long period of time. Medical workers often find microcalcifications only during random examinations.

In order to carry out the correct diagnosis of pathology, the highest priority methods are used, such as ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging. Also, medical researchers prefer X-ray as an analytical imaging of the prostate gland with the presence of prostatic calcifications.

The method of manual examination by a urologist, spermogram indicators, plasma and urethral analyzes provide only knowledge about the development of inflammatory processes, the characteristics of the existing deposits. But they cannot provide full information about inclusions, their sizes, excretory mechanisms with neoplasm.

Methods for treating the pathology of calcification

After a diagnosis is made in a medical institution, many men have a question: what is calcification and how to treat the discomfort associated with its presence in the prostate? For high-quality therapy of pathology, the technique of both traditional therapy and folk methods can be used. It is important that it is impossible to completely cure the parenchyma of calcification without prompt removal.

When a man has microcalcinate in the prostate gland, doctors allow the use of agents that prevent the growth of stone formations. But, in the presence of large calcification, it will be necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of the physician, which corresponds to all the methods of therapy in order to cure the pathology.

If we ignore the pathology of the prostate gland, it will cause an intractable or irreversible consequence - purulent inflammation of the prostate gland or cellular tissues around it, as well as the progression of chronic inflammation of the prostate gland. It is almost impossible to cure stagnation.

Methods for relieving prostate calcifications

How to get rid of pathology? When deciding on how to treat inflammation of the prostate gland, the size of stone neoplasms, as well as the places of their local accumulation, are taken into account.

Methods for stopping calcification from the prostate gland, as well as symptoms, include the following:

• Medication therapy, which includes the use of medicines that relieve spasm, such as No-shpa or Baralgin, antibiotic drug therapy such as Ciproflocascin, Augmentin, Norfloxacin, and an anti-inflammatory drug such as Ibuprofen. Omnic-type drugs can lead to an improvement in the outflow of the urethra.
• Calcification grinding with laser surgery. At the same time, the stone areas are amenable to the action of a low-frequency laser, which helps to crush stone deposits into a huge amount of tiny particles that come out along with the urethra from the urethra. This method can be applied only in combination with the means of drug therapy in order to prevent the risk of progression of complicated pathological phenomena in the future.
• A method of surgical intervention, which is used when drug treatment is ineffective in a time period of two months or during a sudden exacerbation of pathology. The main symptoms showing exacerbation are intense pain, signs of insufficient functioning of the renal system (during the absence of the urethra, tachycardic attacks, nausea, and diarrhea).

How to get rid of calcifications? Operative surgical therapy can be carried out by the prostatectomy method, during which it is assumed that the prostate is completely excised in order to avoid the growth of the pathological phenomenon.

Alternative surgery also involves resection of the prostate gland, at small stages of the disease. With the partial excision method, only the area of the prostate is removed, which contains stone neoplasms. Treatment with folk remedies is possible, but the pathology is too serious to try to remove it from the prostate on your own.
