Patient's question:
My prostate has recently enlarged a bit. My wife said that some people with an enlarged prostate can alleviate the enlargement through massage. I'd like to try it as well, but I don't know how to perform the massage. How is the massage method for an enlarged prostate?Doctor's answer:
Based on the condition you described and your age, you may have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but you actually have prostatitis, so it is not advisable to have a prostate massage. You can take oral gatifloxacin capsules, tinidazole tablets, Qiankang, or Qianmao Xin capsules for treatment. Avoid drinking beer, spicy foods, and getting cold. You must drink plenty of water, do perineal cold compresses, or sit in a bath daily. Doing a prostate massage to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia is not appropriate; prostate massage is a method doctors use to collect a prostate sample for testing.
