What is prostate massage?

Rectal examination: This is where a finger is placed into the rectum and the prostate gland is palpated and gently massaged to help express secretions. This can help decrease the symptoms of prostatitis in some men.

Prostate massage: A gloved finger is passed into the rectum and the prostate is vigorously pressed upon. This is believed to relieve fluid congestion and hasten prostatitis symptom relief.
