Patient's question:
A few days ago, I wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I needed to have prostatic fluid extracted and asked me to have a prostate massage to collect the fluid. I'd like to ask, is the prostate massage and fluid extraction procedure complicated? What preparations do I need to make before doing it? I'm quite nervous.Doctor's answer:
To clarify how to identify prostatitis, it is mainly through conducting a thorough examination of prostatic fluid. Drawing prostatic fluid is relatively complex; the doctor needs to perform a digital rectal exam to stimulate the release of prostatic fluid before conducting the examination. Do not be overly anxious; adjust your emotions and relax.
