Patient's question:
My husband has had prostate problems for a long time. Today, he went back to see the doctor and said there is prostate calcification. I want to know if massage therapy is needed for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a sex gland unique to males. The prostate is a solid, non-negotiable organ formed by glandular and muscular tissues. The prostate faces the bladder with its base and apex, surrounds the urinary perineum in front, and is attached to the pubic symphysis in front and supported by the rectum behind. Therefore, when the prostate is enlarged, it can be palpated through a rectal examination. The urethra passes through the center of the prostate gland, guarding the urinary meatus, so the prostate is the first to be affected by urinary issues. Prostate calcification is caused by long-term chronic prostatitis, so it is advisable to develop good habits and avoid massage.
