Is it too early for a 30-year-old man to have prostate calcification? What should he do in the future?

A friend told Huazi that he just turned 30 this year and found that his prostate was calcified during a physical examination at work. He asked Huazi, isn't this disease only suffered by old men? How could he have prostate calcification at such a young age? Will it become more serious when he gets older? What should he do in the future?

1. Prostate calcification that men cannot avoid Huazi made him feel relieved because prostate calcification is so common. Except for children, almost all adult men will have prostate calcification, it is just a matter of when it occurs and the severity of the calcification. It is not uncommon for people to have prostate calcification at the age of 30, and as they age, the number of people with prostate calcification will increase exponentially.

This is because the male prostate secretes prostatic fluid, which is discharged into the urethra through the gland duct. If the prostatic fluid is not discharged smoothly, or urine flows back into the gland duct, the calcium ions in these fluids will be deposited in the gland duct. In addition, the epithelial cells in the gland duct die and fall off, and the calcium in the cells will also be deposited. In a small number of people, calcification is a trace left after the local inflammation of the prostate has healed.

2. "Diseases" that do not require treatment if they do not have symptoms. In terms of the formation principle, prostate calcification in most men is not a disease, but a physiological phenomenon that occurs with age. Prostate calcification usually does not have a significant impact on the urinary and reproductive systems, and will not turn into cancer. Most people will not experience symptoms and do not need treatment.

However, if you have prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy, or urinary tract infection, you may experience urination difficulties, urination pain, or affect normal male function. You need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and ask the doctor to treat the symptoms according to the specific symptoms. What everyone needs to understand is that the purpose of treatment is to relieve symptoms, not to eliminate calcification.

3. Daily prevention is more important. Although asymptomatic prostate calcification does not require treatment, severe prostate calcification can form prostate stones, which can compress the urethra and affect urination. Moreover, prostate calcification will progress with age, so when prostate calcification occurs, prevention is necessary to slow down prostate calcification and avoid serious symptoms.

1. Avoid sitting for long periods of time: Sitting for long periods of time will affect local blood circulation, causing prostatic fluid to accumulate and become difficult to discharge, which is the main cause of premature prostate calcification. Therefore, you should not sit for long periods of time. Getting up and moving for a few minutes every half an hour can help prevent prostate calcification.

2. Avoid overwork: Overwork will reduce the body's immunity, making the prostate vulnerable to pathogens, causing infection and inflammation. Every time the prostate becomes inflamed, a large number of cells die, and the calcium in these cells will be deposited to form calcification. Therefore, to prevent prostate calcification, you must maintain a regular work and rest schedule, do not stay up late, and do not overwork.

3. Maintain moderate sexual behavior: Prostatic fluid is the main component of male semen, so ejaculation can promote the discharge of prostatic fluid and prevent prostate calcification. But pay attention to moderation, neither too frequent nor complete abstinence.

4. Drink plenty of water: Drink plenty of water, at least 2000 ml per day. If it is hot or you sweat too much during exercise, you should drink more water appropriately. Drinking plenty of water can promote body metabolism, increase urine output, and "cleanse" the urinary system, reducing the chance of the urinary tract being invaded by pathogens, which helps prevent the occurrence of prostate calcification.

In summary, prostate calcification is a common disease in adult men. It usually does not affect the body and there is no need to worry too much. As long as there are no obvious symptoms, there is no need for treatment. Pay attention to healthy living, do not sit for long periods of time, exercise more, and do not stay up late, and you can effectively prevent it.
