Patient's question:
Hello doctor, excuse me. My husband is already 26 years old, but he has developed a very serious prostatitis. Currently, I can only resort to massage to make him feel a bit more comfortable. I have some basic knowledge in this area, so I would like to ask the doctor which acupoints should be used for massage for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostate massage, which involves massaging the prostate, can stimulate the excretion of prostatic fluid. This allows inflammatory secretions to be expelled along with the fluid. However, the duration should not be too long, as excessive stimulation may lead to penile erection. If the massage is prolonged, it may instead cause local pain due to prolonged erection. It can serve as one of the auxiliary treatment methods for prostatitis. Nevertheless, medication remains the foundation of the treatment.
