Prostatic Massage to Relieve Prostatitis
One of the causes of pain in prostatitis is the build-up of pressure in the prostate due to an accumulation of semen or fluids due to bacterial infection. One way to relieve the pressure is to have the prostate massaged. A doctor can insert a gloved finger in the rectum and use firm pressure to force the excess products from the prostate. The procedure can be somewhat painful. However, relieving the pressure can bring relief from pain for a period of time. Prostatic massage is a simple procedure that may be done by a person who is not a physician. Sometimes the patient is advised to have sex with ejaculation at least 2-3 times a week to relieve pressure.
