Prostate massage as a therapeutic method - what is it?

Prostate massage can be used to diagnose prostatitis. Massage can also be used in the chronic phase of prostatitis to help remove secretions and reduce the pressure in the prostate. In addition, prostate massage improves blood flow through the prostate gland (which enhances the action of antibiotics) and reduces perineal muscle tone. Thus (in combination with pharmacological treatment), it can improve the treatment process and the patient's recovery.

Prostate massage may cause elevated levels of PSA (prostatic antigen) in the blood.

The patient lies down in bed and takes a lateral or knee-elbow position. Then a gel is applied to the anus area, which has an anesthetic effect. The doctor then inserts an index finger into the patient's anus. Once the prostate has been located, the doctor gives it a massage, which involves making gentle finger movements starting at the edge of each lobe of the gland. Massage of the prostate gland lasts several dozen seconds.
