Prostate massage therapy is a method of regularly massaging the prostate, draining prostate fluid, and expelling inflammatory substances to relieve stasis of prostate secretion, improve local blood circulation, and promote the absorption and regression of inflammation. The prostate massage method is particularly suitable for storage type and chronic bacterial prostatitis, where the glands are plump, soft, and have more purulent secretions.
Specific operation method: The patient takes the chest and knee position, and the operator wears rubber gloves with his right index finger. After applying lubricating paraffin oil, he gently massages the circumference of the anus and then slowly extends into the rectum. After touching the prostate, he presses the prostate with the distal phalanx of his index finger facing the rectal surface of the prostate from the outside up to the inside down in a sequential manner, that is, first press the prostate from both sides of the gland to the midline for 3-4 times, Then press the prostatic fluid from the central sulcus from top to bottom towards the external orifice of the urethra.
Generally, massage 1-2 times a week. When massaging, the technique should be "gentle and gentle", and attention should be paid to asking the patient how they feel. It is important not to press violently and repeatedly to avoid unnecessary damage. In addition, it is recommended that the patient urinate immediately after the massage, so that the inflammatory secretions accumulated in the urethra can be discharged with urine.
"Prostatic massage therapy is a method of regularly massaging the prostate to drain prostate fluid and expel inflammatory substances, thereby relieving the accumulation of prostate secretions, improving local blood circulation, and promoting the absorption and reduction of inflammation.". But not all prostate patients are suitable for prostate massage.
Massage is not appropriate in the following situations: Prostate massage is not allowed in patients with acute bacterial prostatitis; Patients suspected of prostate tuberculosis or tumor are not suitable for massage; Massage is also not suitable for patients with acute onset of chronic prostatitis, atrophy or sclerosis of the prostate.
During the massage, if you find that the prostate tenderness is obvious and the bladder sensation is enhanced, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner. It should also be noted that prostate massage is only an auxiliary treatment and cannot completely replace other therapies.
Massage is contraindicated during acute inflammation of the prostate because during acute inflammation, congestion and edema of the prostate tissue are evident. After massage, tissue damage and inflammation can spread, and bacteria can enter the blood, leading to sepsis, exacerbating symptoms. Therefore, the examination of the prostate during acute inflammation should be gentle and careful.
