Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing frequent urination and painful urination recently, which is very uncomfortable. After a check-up, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. How much fluid can be expelled by massaging the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Prostate massage can expel accumulated fluid, which is confirmed to be prostatic fluid, indicating the presence of prostatitis. The fluid expelled during massage is often white. Generally, three to five milliliters of fluid can be expelled, and the amount itself does not hold significant clinical meaning. Prostate conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
