Patient's question:
Since last year, my husband was carefully examined and found to have a prostate-related illness. The doctor asked him to lie down and perform many massages, saying that this would help him recover completely. Is prostate massage good for men?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, prostate massage is a common screening procedure in urology. Regular massage of the prostate helps to promote the discharge of prostatic fluid, thereby facilitating the elimination of inflammatory substances from the prostate. It also aids in resolving the accumulation of prostatic secretions and has significant effects in stabilizing local blood circulation, enhancing the metabolism and resolution of inflammation. This ultimately promotes the recovery and treatment of patients with prostatic conditions. Self-massage should be performed with attention, as the prostate can be sensitive to bladder stimulation. If discomfort increases, patients should seek immediate medical attention. However, prostate self-massage therapy is only a supplementary treatment and cannot completely replace other therapeutic methods. In terms of diet, a light and balanced diet should be followed, with an emphasis on consuming fresh fruits and vegetables.
