How to perform prostatic massage? Thank you for the doctor's explanation.

Doctor's answer:

When performing prostatic massage, the following precautions should be observed:
(1) Prostatic massage is contraindicated during acute prostatitis.
(2) The technique should be gentle and moderate, avoiding force, to prevent pain and injury.
(3) Pay attention to the appearance of prostatic fluid; if possible, perform a microscopic examination.
(4) If there is significant prostatic tenderness, hardness, or the reappearance of hard nodules, seek medical follow-up promptly.
