Patient's question:
My prostate has recently enlarged a bit. My wife said that some people with an enlarged prostate can relieve the enlargement through massage. I'd like to try it as well, but I don't know how to do the massage. Could you please tell me how to massage 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. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and do perineal cold compresses or sitz baths daily. Prostate massage is not a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia; it is a method used by doctors to collect a prostate sample for testing.
