Patient's question:
Because I often went to the men's department to see a doctor for urination in the past few weeks and was diagnosed with prostatitis. The doctor prescribed me many medications and asked me to massage frequently. Is there any benefit to this?Doctor's answer:
There are benefits to this regular massage, as it can help the prostate expel prostatic fluid, effectively alleviating prostatitis. If you experience symptoms of this condition again, it is essential to promptly visit a formal urology department for a comprehensive and thorough examination. Prostate massage is generally performed 1-2 times a week to aid in the drainage of prostatic fluid. Most patients feel relieved after the massage, with reduced local discomfort and a sense of fullness. Based on the examination results, many antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed. It is important to pay attention to appropriate exercise. Prostate massage can eliminate these ductal obstructions, restore normal drainage, making it easier for antibiotics to penetrate. However, acute prostatitis is strictly prohibited from prostate massage. It can easily lead to transmission and exacerbate the condition.
