Prostate exams can sometimes be painful, is that normal?

Patient's question:

I am also the first time to carefully check the prostate, but I will feel pain during the prostate check, is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, prostatic fluid is more likely to cause pain during a careful examination, especially in cases of prostatitis. Therefore, it is best to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. If it is related to a bacterial infection, antibiotics are usually required for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid sitting for long periods.
