Patient's question:
I used my fingers to enter from the anus and touched the prostate, it felt a bit hard... I usually have sexual intercourse, married or single, I feel that my prostate is long in shape, about four centimeters long and two centimeters wide... Is this situation normal?Doctor's answer:
You will never have benign prostatic hyperplasia; your prostate is normal. Sexual intercourse is a normal sexual activity for mature men. Sexual intercourse itself does no harm to the body, but frequent sexual intercourse can lead to prolonged congestion in the urinary and reproductive systems, a decline in local immunity, and may result in urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, sexual nerve fatigue, and exhaustion. In severe cases, it can affect fertility. If there is no discomfort after having intercourse once a week, the harm is not significant. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
