Patient's question:
Should I have a prostate fluid examination or an anal/rectal massage? According to online information, during a prostate massage, the hand is inserted into the rectum for the massage, and then fluid is expelled through the urethra. What I'm afraid and upset about is the idea of having fluid expelled from the anal area during the massage, and whether it will be painful when it comes out through the urethra. Besides, if it's a prostate massage, it should be for men, right? Will I have to see my genital organs? I'm a bit short and feel a bit self-conscious. Is it possible to have a female perform a prostate massage?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the careful examination of prostatic fluid, the method you mentioned for a thorough examination is correct. However, if there are no symptoms, a thorough examination is generally not performed. If there is a suspicion of urethral irritation, a thorough examination may be considered.Doctors in hospital departments are both male and female, and they are concerned about your illness, not about examining your penis. If you really have symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination, it is recommended to drink more water and take oral anti-inflammatory medication. If the symptoms do not improve, follow up with the urology department.
The patient should receive timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
