Prostate examination and massage are the same item?

Patient's question:

Today I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor prescribed a prostate fluid test and massage. Is the prostate fluid test already included in the massage, or is the prostate fluid test a separate item, and the massage another? When taking the prostate fluid, the doctor quickly and forcefully extracted it. I think the massage should be a separate procedure. I'm seeking clarification from the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

This depends on the specific charging standards of the hospital. It should be two items: a detailed examination of prostatic fluid is one item, and massage is another. However, whether the massage fee is required when extracting prostatic fluid needs to be consulted. It is recommended to inquire about the charging standards of several hospitals, as the standards and regulations of different hospitals may vary. It is advisable to go to a formal hospital for a detailed examination and treatment. For patients with prostatic conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not timely, it may affect health. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
