Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I am 30 years old and have chronic prostatitis. It is said that massage therapy for chronic prostatitis is quite effective, but since it's just hearsay, I still don't really believe it. I guess I should confirm with the doctor, how effective is massage therapy for chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, you have developed chronic prostatitis. Generally speaking, massage therapy for prostatitis can be somewhat effective. However, prolonged and excessive stimulation of the prostate can lead to recurrent prostate congestion, often making it easier for bacteria to grow. It is recommended to consider hot water sitz baths or to complement massage therapy by targeting acupoints on the prostate for treatment. The harm the prostate can cause to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that prostate patients can receive professional treatment.
