Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a slight pain in my lower abdomen and often have the urge to defecate. I used some lubricant and inserted my middle finger into my anus to feel around. It felt very soft inside, and the skin towards the testicles was also soft. However, when I gently pressed, I felt two pieces of muscle that were like tightly stretched ones. What does it feel like to touch the prostate in the rectum?Doctor's answer:
The relatively firm mass you feel in front of the rectum is the prostate. As long as there are no obvious nodules and it doesn't cause pain, there is no problem. Based on your two-year history, your prostate should be normal. Since patients are aware of the dangers of the prostate, we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the prostate condition does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
