    First of all, to be sure, conditioning institutions that formally hold the "Medical Institution Practice License" and whose operators have corresponding medical qualifications can do auxiliary conditioning projects permitted by medical orders. Street health shops, massage parlors, and clubs without relevant qualifications are absolutely prohibited.

    We just received a 28-year-old programmer at the outpatient clinic last week. He was lied to by the clerk at the massage shop downstairs in the community, saying that "men's exclusive prostate conditioning" can improve his perineal swelling after sitting for a long time. He spent 398 for a so-called deep massage, and it hurt so much that he had to urinate that night. When he came to check, he found that the prostate was three times more swollen than before. It was originally just a mild aseptic inflammation, but the acute symptoms were forced out by unprofessional techniques, and it took two days for the water to subside.

    Not all stores are unfavorable. I have also met many old patients with chronic prostatitis. They said that at a chronic disease treatment center opened by a community hospital near my home, after checking the prostate fluid and ruling out bacterial infection, I went for pelvic floor muscle relaxation physical therapy and warm compress twice a week. The soreness and swelling were relieved faster than doing it myself at home. After all, professionals can pinpoint the position of the pelvic floor muscles and control the temperature and frequency of physical therapy without messing around.

    Of course, many colleagues do not recommend going to any outside shop for this type of treatment. After all, the prostate is deep and fragile. If the hand strength is not accurate during the operation, or the equipment is not sterilized, it is easy to cause mucosal damage and retrograde infection. Especially for patients with prostate stones or unexplained hematuria, casual massage outside may turn a small problem into a big one.

    In addition, I would like to mention that don’t believe the hype in the store, such as “radical cure for prostate hyperplasia” and “say goodbye to frequent urination and urgency in 7 days”. They are all IQ taxes. If you have bacterial prostatitis, you must first take a full course of antibiotics. If the prostatitis reaches the point of difficulty urinating, you will need surgery or special drugs. At most, conditioning can help improve symptoms and cannot replace regular treatment at all. To put it bluntly, it's like if you sprain your foot and you can do some rehabilitation stretching, but if you don't re-strap all the bones, it's strange that you can heal them by just rubbing them.

    If you really need conditioning, it is recommended that you go to the urology department of a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination first, and ask the doctor whether your condition can be used for auxiliary conditioning, and then find an institution with medical qualifications to do it. Don't go to private clubs that don't even dare to hang their business licenses. It's a trivial matter to spend money, but it's a real loss to damage the glands.
