This statement is false. Prostatic calculi, or corpora amylacea, are small calcifications that commonly form within the prostate glands, especially in older men. They are usually an incidental finding on imaging (like ultrasound or CT) or during a prostate procedure. In the vast majority of cases, they are asymptomatic and do not require any treatment. They are not typically associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer or BPH. Rarely, if they are very large or associated with significant inflammation, they might contribute to chronic pelvic pain or recurrent prostatitis, but this is uncommon. Therefore, asymptomatic prostatic calculi are managed expectantly.
