Patient's question:
Recently, I have had some issues with urination and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. I was diagnosed with prostatitis. I want to try massage therapy to treat it and would like to consult about it. How many days does prostatitis massage therapy typically require?Doctor's answer:
According to your age, urination difficulties are more likely to lead to a recurrence of prostatitis. Due to inflammation, the recurrence of urinary tract irritation, prostate swelling, and urethral stricture can cause urination difficulties. This condition requires antibiotic treatment. Massage can only relieve symptoms. It is recommended to drink more when taking medication and to avoid sexual activity and intimacy. It is suggested to perform 1-2 prostate massages per week, but not too frequently, to facilitate the discharge of prostatic fluid. Full-body massage makes patients feel comfortable and does not reduce the sensation of falling or swelling locally. Prostate massage can be done at home for 10-20 minutes at a time, but attention must be paid to hygiene to prevent conditions such as anal fissures and rectitis.
