How often is it best to massage the prostate?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I am a patient with prostatitis. It is said that massage is beneficial for this condition. Could you please tell me how often is it recommended to have a massage for prostatitis? Also, what are the important aspects to keep in mind when getting a massage for prostatitis? I am worried

Doctor's answer:

For the treatment of prostatitis, in addition to medication, some physical therapy methods can also be used in conjunction. Of course, massage of the prostate can help alleviate symptoms, but full-body massage requires certain techniques and is best performed by professional medical personnel, as it is quite difficult. As for the frequency of massage, it is generally recommended to do it once every other day. Excessive frequency of massage is also not conducive to complete recovery.
