Can prostate health be massaged?

There is no absolute yes or no to this question. There is absolutely no need for healthy people to treat prostate massage as a daily health care item. People with prostate-related diseases must first be evaluated by a doctor and meet the indications before they can be carried out under standardized operations. If you massage randomly on your own, it is easy to cause problems.

In the past two months, I met a 28-year-old e-commerce operator who came to see a doctor. He sat for long periods of time and worked overtime every day. I watched someone say on a short video that regular prostate massage can prevent inflammation and improve function. He secretly bought a home massager and used it for almost ten days. Finally, he came to register because he couldn't bear the pain during urination and continued bloating in his groin. The white blood cells of the prostate fluid were three times higher. It was due to prostate congestion and edema caused by improper massage. Originally, there was no problem with his glands at all. It was purely a problem caused by himself.

Of course, prostate massage cannot be killed in one go. In regular urology clinical practice, it is indeed one of the auxiliary treatments for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. You can think of the prostate as a hairy chestnut hiding deep in the pelvic cavity, with a strong lipid coating on the outside. If the glandular duct is blocked and the prostatic fluid accumulates inside and cannot be discharged, the inflammation will continue to persist. At this time, the doctor wears gloves and performs standard massage through the rectum to squeeze out the accumulated inflammatory prostatic fluid, which can indeed relieve the discomfort of swelling and frequent urination. I have also seen many patients whose symptoms were significantly relieved after three or four massages.

However, not everyone agrees with this in clinical practice. Many doctors also believe that as long as they maintain regular ejaculation, the accumulated prostatic fluid can be discharged smoothly, and there is no need to suffer this additional problem. Moreover, the contraindications for prostate massage are very strict. If you are diagnosed with acute bacterial prostatitis, prostatic tuberculosis, tumor, or gland sclerosis, massage must not be performed. Violent operations can easily lead to the spread of infection, and in severe cases, it can even cause sepsis. This is no joke.

If you really feel that you have discomfort in your lower abdomen or abnormal urination after sitting for a long time, first go to the hospital to get a call from the urology department, do a B-ultrasound, and check the prostate fluid. Don’t follow the wild tutorials on the Internet and try blindly. Failure to achieve good health care will only damage the body. It is really not a mistake.
