Patient's question:
Is the prostate located two finger widths at the 6 o'clock direction from the anus? I had surgery to treat an anal fissure, with the procedure performed at the 12 o'clock position. More than two months after the surgery, I administered medication to the anus myself and could feel a hard, round protrusion about the size of the tip of a finger at the 6 o'clock direction. It is very hard. I am seeking advice from the medical experts to clarify this. Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is about the size and shape of an inverted chestnut. Its upper part is attached to the bladder, while its lower part is adjacent to the urogenital diaphragm. It is positioned in front of the pubic symphysis in front and behind the rectum. The male urethra passes through the center of the prostate gland. The prostate is located in front of the rectum, meaning that if you insert your fingers about 2 cm into the rectum and move forward, you will feel a hard, spherical mass, which is the prostate.The daily treatment for prostate patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications and supplement them with many vitamins while paying attention to their diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
