Can you get prostatic fluid by yourself?

Patient's question:

I have previously undergone a prostate examination, but it triggered pain in the perineum, and I haven't dared to do it again. At the time, I had had sexual activity the night before, and after researching, I found that sexual activity the previous night could lead to inaccurate test results. So, I would like to have another prostate examination, but I really don't want the doctor to perform a prostate massage on me again. After one massage, the pain in my perineum persisted for many days, and it hasn't fully healed yet. It is said that the fluid excreted before sexual activity is called prostatic fluid. Can I collect a sample myself and have the doctor examine it carefully?

Doctor's answer:

You are not taking the liquid accurately like this. Generally, taking liquid will never cause pain. It is recommended that you go to the hospital and follow the professional methods of the doctor. You can communicate with the doctor for a few minutes, and usually there will be no pain at all. In fact, getting prostatitis is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
