Will female urethral calcification heal on its own?

Calcification foci in the female urethra generally do not heal on their own, and intervention measures such as observation, drug treatment or surgery are required according to the specific situation. Calcification foci are often caused by inflammation, infection or urinary stones, and if not treated in time, they may cause further health problems.

Urethral calcification refers to the hardened point formed by the deposition of calcium salts in the local tissue of the urinary tract, which is mostly caused by long-term chronic inflammation, urolithiasis or urinary tract infection. Mild calcification usually has no obvious symptoms, but larger calcification may cause frequent urination, painful urination, dysuria and even hematuria. If the calcification is caused by chronic inflammation or infection, the symptoms can be relieved by anti-infective drugs such as levofloxacin and cephalosporins and drinking more water. For calcification related to urinary stones, stones smaller than 6mm can be discharged naturally through high fluid intake and observation; however, larger stones or calcification with symptoms may require extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or transurethral surgery to remove the stones. For cases where the calcification gradually increases or repeatedly induces infection, surgical resection of the lesion can be considered, and the treatment can be completed with the help of cystoscopic minimally invasive surgery.

In order to prevent the aggravation or recurrence of urethral calcification, women are advised to maintain hygiene of the reproductive and urinary systems and avoid unclean sexual intercourse. Drink plenty of water, and maintain a daily water intake of more than 1500-2000 ml, which helps dilute urine and promote calcium metabolism. At the same time, avoid eating foods with high calcium and high oxalate content, such as spinach, nuts and dairy products, eat a balanced diet, and pay attention to supplementing vitamin B6. If persistent urinary tract discomfort occurs, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner for detailed examination and targeted treatment to avoid complications caused by long-term delay.
