Patient's question:
In the past month, I've been feeling uncomfortable in my lower abdomen, experiencing premature ejaculation, frequent urination, and painful urination. Additionally, it's been very difficult for me to get hard during sexual activity. I don't know what the problem is, but my wife suggested I might have prostatitis and recommended that I get a thorough check-up tomorrow. I really want to know what I should pay attention to before the examination.Doctor's answer:
Prostate massage indications must be clear. It is generally used for chronic prostatitis. If there is suspicion of tuberculosis, abscess, or tumor, the massage is contraindicated. The force during massage should be uniform and appropriate. If it is too light, it may not expel prostatic fluid; if it is too heavy, it may cause pain. The massage should be performed in a certain direction and should not be back and forth. Improper techniques often lead to a successful examination. If the massage is successful or the examination is negative, and there are clinical diagnostic indications, it should be repeated after 3-5 days.
