Can benign prostatic hyperplasia be massaged?

Patient's question:

Can massage be performed on an enlarged prostate? Specifically, how do you massage the prostate area near the anus?

Doctor's answer:

Upon careful examination, it was found that there is benign prostatic hyperplasia, and massage is generally not recommended. Currently, only prostatitis can be considered for massage treatment. Your specific condition can be re-evaluated with a urinary system ultrasound and a follow-up check to determine the extent of the benign prostatic hyperplasia. The condition of the prostate is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on the examination results. Furthermore, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
