Patient's question:
How is prostate massage performed? Is it done in the rectum?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Specific operation method: The patient assumes a prone-knee position. The operator wears a rubber glove on the right index finger and applies lubricating petroleum jelly. First, gently massage the perianal area, then slowly insert the index finger into the rectum. After locating the prostate, align the tip of the index finger with the rectal surface of the prostate. Press the prostate in the sequence of outward, upward, and inward, starting by pressing 3 to 4 times from the sides of the gland toward the midline, and then squeezing the prostatic fluid from the central sulcus downward toward the external urethral orifice.
