Many patients have prostate sonograms, CT scans, or MRIs for various indications.  Calcifications of the prostate is a common finding?  What does this mean?  Sometimes calcifications are in blood vessels or the prostate gland itself.  This can be a sing of prostate cancer but most commonly it is just from prostate inflammation, infection or BPH or noncancerous growth of the prostate.  Only your doctor can check for prostate cancer.  A rectal exam and PSA test are important for men (usually over 40) tat are concerned about prostate cancer.  “Stones” of the urinary tract can also be in the seminal vesicles – makes and stores sperm’s liquid lubricant (majority of the ejaculate) or the bladder, ureter or kidney.
