Pain after a prostate exam is normal?

Patient's question:

During the health check-up, I underwent various routine and thorough examinations, including a routine prostate examination. After returning home, I unconsciously felt a bit of pain in the prostate area. I'm not sure if it's due to the examination or if it's a normal condition. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Could you please recommend some remedies?

Doctor's answer:

This situation should be a physical discomfort after a prostate examination. It is possible that you are not accustomed to the doctor's technique during the prostate fluid extraction. Generally, there is no serious issue, and it will resolve itself over time. If you have prostatitis, the pain may recur after stimulation. You can review the detailed examination results at that time. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the genital area at all times to avoid bacterial infections.
