I had a prostate exam recently as I've just turned 40. It was fine. Not painful at all. The doctor was gentle. Not sure why he dimmed the lights and put on some Barry White but whatever...
My doc (when I was receiving the massage) said "easy Tim, easy, don't get too excited". And I told him my name wasn't Tim...and he said "I know... I'm Tim" 😅😅😅
I really like how you say flawlessly the non medical term followed by the medical term its really nice you do not dumb down or slow down your content. Please take care of yourself because you are worth it!
An alternative to a ‘gloved’ application can be self massage of the lower abdomen, through the empty bladder to the prostate. Gentle pressure can provide a gentle therapeutic release
I suffered from prostatitis several years ago. It took a year to resolve and 4 different urologist where one told me I was not sick enough.... I performed prostrate massage and it helped a great deal to relieve many symptoms.
At least it doesn't sound like you have damage to reproductive system from going to wrong urologist. I'm dealing with heart issues among other things because of having bacteria pushed out in the body. On my own now medically.
Serious question, what was your symptoms. I'm 45 and am noticing a bit of change to my sex life, performance and differences during urinating in the morning, especially after having erections and after sex urinating.
I had Prostate Cancer, had prostate removed with the DaVinci. The physical therapist was teaching me how to do exercises to strengthen bladder for after the surgery. I was not ready for the reaction … she was very professional and kept it from being more embarrassing… yeah, it felt that good …
I have low grade prostate cancer and asked my urologist if a prostate massage would cause problems like accelerate the spread. He said no but also cautioned that it shouldn't be a direct poke/push of the prostate, more of a sideways motion.
Thats some real customer service right there. "I wear gloves to make sure bacteria from my hands doesn't get into the rectum." Not "I wear gloves so I don't get your nasty shit on my fingers."
My first time visiting a urologist. He's a big guy, maybe 6'4" and he shows me his big hands and says, "Hi, I'm Doctor Smith. I have big hands and I really love my job!" Completely cracked me up and relaxed me.
I hope that relaxed your sphincter as well, with those giant fingers, you’d need it. He should have been a massage therapist, why do these people become urologists or dentists? Keep your banana hands away from my mouth and corn hole!!!
Hello and very informative video. Prostate massage is also referred to as The Army Test. I have been told that when receiving a prostate massage, that if you have one hand on your shoulder then that is ok, but if you have two hands on your shoulder then you are in trouble.
As someone who has dealt with prostatitis off and on for several years now, I would very much welcome a video of your thoughts on the matter. Thank you for all that you do Doc
Hey man, I had prostatitis for a long time. One thing that helped me (haven’t had it in years) is drinking plenty of water, and cutting back on caffeine.
My doctor was very understanding and gentle with me during my prostate exam. He even said that I should not be embarrassed about having an erection during the exam. I told him that I don't have an erection and he said , " I know, but I do".
In my recent prostrate exam everyone in the Doctor's office was masked up. When the Doctor finished I asked him how my prostrate was and he said I'll be right back. A few seconds later the Nurse came running in and said who was that guy? Not sure what to do now.
I had a prostate exam with a doctor new to me. On entry he said "This can be a little uncomfortable". I immediately reassured him "You will get used to it".
After 10+ years of Chronic Prostatitis, I finally found a way to relax my pelvic floor. I would squat and I would wiggle my spine laterally for 30 to 60 seconds twice day. After doing this for 2 years the chronic pain, stiff legs, hangover feeling, and all the other symptoms of chronic prostatitis finally went away.
Andrew, 2 years is a long time. I assume you found benefit at the beginning to continue it for so long. Do you shift your hips laterally in squat position?
Although you referenced a study (from 2006), another one you listed (from 2008) showed that almost 9% of patients reported improved symptoms after using at-home prostatic massage and the conclusion was that more studies should be done regarding at-home massage. Though it would take a long time to conduct, a study (or studies) should be done with men using proactive prostate massage starting in their early 40's to see if it can provide a prolonged onset of symptoms and/or less severe symptoms as they age into their 60's/70's.
Proststitis is really a catch all term…it has been misused for decades as it really does not exist. No one does pre and post massage urine samples looking for bacteria and or white blood cells. Urology text books still list 4 categories but inthe end, treatment is no different. A true prostatitis results in exquisite pain and usually an admission to the hospital. It is often misused to diagnose a man with a UTI when in reality all the guy has is just that..a simple UTI. So do I recommend prostate massages? Absolutely no As an expert in both male and female pelvic floor sexual medicine and reconstructive surgery, there is not anatomical benefit. You are not milking out evil bacteria or gnomes or evil spirits!!! The prostate does nothing but provide a substance that we think aids in fertility but that’s it! And high Vit A or Zinc doesn’t provide any therapy to the prostate either. So does prostate massage help some people with “I ache down there?” Sometimes…it for reasons you may not know Prostate massage can cause relief of pelvic floor discomfort or congestion by basically stimulating the pudendal nerves which can be somewhat erotic if done correctly-men have very strong pelvic floor contractions with orgasm which incorporates the prostate. But this same massaging also relieves the pelvic floor muscles which relaxes them and takes the tension off and many men find urinating easier. I hope that helps rclaywilliamsdo
Your video that discussed the impact of antihistamines on the prostate and urine flow was very helpful. I was experiencing poor flow and as a result, concerned about more serious issues even though tests were normal. I limited my daily use of them and my urine stream is returning to normal. THANKS!
Question: I have a nodule in my prostate and been receiving active surveillance every 4 months for a bit over 2 years now. Everything has been fine, no change noted and my PSA has remained steady a bit below 1. What is the chance that a prostate massage for pleasure, deliberately stimulating it, would cause a disruption or change in the nodule for the worse? Like cause it to break open. And thank you for being so open about this topic.
Salutations, Dr. Malik! Thank you so much for educating so many people about a subject that most people prefer to remain ignorant about until it directly affects them. I think it was especially helpful for you to point out that that it is important to use lubricants that are specifically formulated for use in areas that they are designed to be used in, and that it is contraindicated to use them in other areas. I think this is often overlooked and not discussed by a large number of patients and other people that particularly are looking into non-medical applications. Most pharmacies and adult resources frequently do not seem to make the distinction between one use and another, and how the negative affects of improper ph levels can negatively affect subjects biome’s. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🙏🏻
Thanks Rena for addressing men’s health issues, you do a great job explaining, we never ask - mostly just wonder in the background while being marginalized by society today
I had a prostate exam awhile back and it was very painful. I asked the doctor why and he said he used 2 fingers. When I asked why he said, "because I needed a second opinion." I'll see myself out...
I had my prostate exam too a while ago, my doctor was professional and polite...but I had to ask after a few seconds into it, if it was a necessary procedure since i came there for a dental cleaning.
Girl your videos are awesome so informative opening the door to understanding ones body God bless you and keep you safe in these troubled times 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
I am very glad I found your videos. My father, who is now 70, has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, and it has spread to his Hip Bone, (matasitsized?? sorry for misspelling). I am now 50 and realize that I need to ensure that i start getting prostate exams, now knowing that this cancer is in my family. My father had been complaining for years about having to get up to pee several times per night, and it really was effecting his sleep. Unfortunately, my dad is and 'old fart' who avoided seeing a doctor for years. I am begining to have this problem. I don't know if they are related, but Im going to keep watching your videos and doing research. I also find allot of your information very informative and very professionally conveyed. Thank you.
great educational videos Doc. how and what can men do or take in prevention of enlarge prostate and is it hereditary specially if members of the family had it or may have it. Thank you very much for all the helpful info's.
The first time I had a prostate exam it was part of an overall physical I had to have done for work. I was about 24 years old, and was nervous as hell about it. For some reason, I thought a little humor might be of use, so I told the guy....sometimes I think of the things I've said over the years and just shake my head....he asks if I've ever had this done before. I said no. Then I followed it up with "I'll try not to dispatch any methane during the procedure." Now, to the casual observer, maybe there's a little humor in that. If you're the guy about to perform the exam, probably not so much. He said "This....is an exercise in relaxation." No it was not. I'm the first to admit that his line was waaaay funnier than mine, but...no, there was no relaxation to be had.
Had one done recently, while he was checking it, I told him "Can you take off your ring?, it's uncomfortable". He said "that's not my ring, it's my watch!!!" I was like YIKES...
Told i had a huge prostate. There are tools by Giddi that I started with and never had to take meds for years. Had the MRI, all clear... Prostatitis isn't the only issue.. Hypertrophy is. Sitting now, no sweat... Thanks Doc, I listen to you all the time
“We use a very well lubricated finger…” reminded me of that scene in the TV program ER when the intern, Dr. Carter, forgot the lube. It was hilarious, but only because it wasn’t me.
On my first prostate exam I called the DR. Capt. Kirk he attempted to correct me but I still called him Capt. Kirk. At the end he asked why did I keep referring to him by Capt Kirk. I advised that he went where no man has gone before. He and his nurse couldn’t stop laughing.
Prostate massage gave some relief from what I believe was a blockage of some ducts in the prostate. I had bilharzia as a child and a scan picked up some calcification in the prostate. I had difficulty ejaculating a few times, and several bouts of prostatitis. My urologist suspected Chlamidia despite a negative test, and gave a one shot antibiotica, which gave some relief. I would appreciate more info on prostatitis and possibly blockage in the various tubes. .
I dont have many problems with my prostate (37yr) and I think the major thing is because I massage it regularly. But I dont use those big toys that make your eyes pop out from pain, I do it with my hugo and it feels really good. Id recommend this toy to anyone looking for a decent prostate massager (it has a perineum massage part too)!
Great informative video. I have been getting a prostate massage about once a month for 10 years now & have always had great experiences. This information has been kept under the rug for too long. Thanks for the video.
Could you comment on the possible role of fungal infection being the root cause of non bacterial prostatitis looking at studies such as the one published in the Central European Journal of Urology in 2013 by Kotb et al. as well as other studies showing that non bacterial prostatitis contracted by men under 40 is often fungal related and why this isn't addressed more. Also if you could comment on why tests such as Expressed Prostatic Secretions (or others) are not routinely done to find out what type of bacteria or fungal infection is being dealt with so that treatment can be better targeted. Thanks :)
I have a lady doctor who told me she needed to check my prostate. While she was doing it she said I should probably give up masturbating for a while. I asked why, and she said because I was moving around too much and it was hard to do the exam.
Would love to learn more about prostatitis. Was diagnosed with non bacterial prostatitis. And my urologist didn't even analyze my fluids. Could you make a video on non bacterial prostatitis?
I had prostatitis a few years back myself. Pain, difficulty urinating and 103 temp. Symptoms ended almost immediately with a dose of Advil given to address the temp when I went to urgent care. Urine sample afterward (first time I'd felt I'd been able to completely empty my bladder in days) and physical exam turned up nothing, but I did end up doing a course of antibiotics just in case. From my research I recall there's some percentage of prostatitis cases that are of unknown cause. Would love to hear Rena's thoughts on this.
Guys …. i cured my recurring bouts with prostatitis by cutting out liquid Cows Milk from my diet. Fortunately i can still eat cheese and the occasional yogurt with no effect… a glass of cold milk an cookies or a big bowl of cereal and milk are delicious i know but it’s a small price to pay for not experiencing the frightening pain and misery of prostatitis …. definitely worth a try !!
as a 76 year old male, i find my diet is key and taking anti inflammatory vitamins help also, i know if i am doing things right by the way i go to the washroom, lol, what i have found over the years is that every body reacts differently to the same treatment. i have also found that DIET is key to your health, if you are counting on pharmacy stuff you needs to wake up to reality. there are several good doctors putting out vids dealing with this matter.
I'm a half decade younger than you, and I totally agree about diet. And exercise. I eat multiple fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, beans, legumes, whole grains, and salmon and sardines. And I drink espresso. (coffee is good for people who don't get jittery from caffeine.) And I run with my dog most days.
Ask your local asian massage parlor if they offer this service. Most do for an additional fee. I have found that costs vary with missus, and are of often negotiable. I highly recommend it.....especially during table shower.
Well embarrassingly it works for me. I was having weak urine stream and pain. The urologist prescribed an antibiotic even though my urine didn’t show any signs of infection but I got the prescription anyway and took the pills and the pain went away and my stream improved somewhat. A few months later the pain was back, I’m missing the toilet and soaking the floor and didn’t want another course of antibiotics cause again, nothing was found in the urine. So I got some toys figured out which fit best and went at it. And behold I was peeing like a champ! Not to mention the pain started to go away and according to my wife my “performance” improved (though she won’t help me with the massage). I am an avid cyclist for many years and never had an issue until one day I had an issue. I massage every few months and everything works as it should (no more urine on the floor!). Yeah it helps, I am proof of it. And yes it’s embarrassing to talk about. BUT we just buried my brother-in-law this past May, he died at 53 from prostate cancer and it was an undignified dimise. So get you psa levels checked yearly and lube up every now and then! Hope this helps
Since turning 40, my priority in selecting a doctor as a general practitioner is that they have very skinny index fingers. No matter how good any doctor may be, if he/she has sausage fingers they are IMMEDIATELY removed from consideration.
DREs are relatively 42-46% accurate, also while looking for tiny fingers you should also look for "delicate" as well. A doctor with rough or callus hands might miss details. It is better to have a PSA blood test, less invasive more accurate, and if you already feel some pain down there you should schedule a CT or MRI scan for a better picture of the situation. Hope you stay healthy!
I know, this is picking nits, but the closed caption (automated, I assume) kept referring to massage. Can you please get someone to proofread the script and/or compare it to the CC?
When my 'Proc Doc' tells me 'everything looks fine; what specific questions should I ask? When my test comes back what numbers should I see? How the numbers expressed and what to they mean for a 55 year old guy. As you can figure out, my doc does not talk much and gives little information. " You are fine everything is as it should be. " . Thanks, Dan
When I was in college and donated sperm at $ 50 per pop. The nurse there would perform prostate massage as I came close to ejaculating. She said this helped the sperm stay viable. One day she was replaced by another nurse and when I asked her about it. She looked horrified. I think with my big mouth I got the other nurse fired. I truly believed she was helping the sperm.
I had a prostate examination through ultrasound.

I was diagnosed with prostatitis and missed 6 weeks of work. Felt like I was sitting on a softball. Urologist examined me every week and milked as he called it, the prostate to put fluid on a slide. Wasn’t comfortable but definitely not the worst pain I’ve ever had. I suffer from chronic kidney stones so I didn’t think prostatitis was painful.
I got acute prostatitis & think I came close to dying from the acute associated vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Fortunately my wife got me to the hospital & 48 hrs on IV antibiotics sorted me out. 😳👍
@@rockykoast7065 it took 2 weeks of tablet form antibiotics for me. Told me they were the strongest they could prescribe. Prostatitis ain’t no joke. Hope your all cured!
There are only two things I experienced as more painful than my kidney stone. Had bile duct spasms on the same level, but having my lower leg crushed as well as amputated was worse than the kidney stone. Although not by a lot, they say those are as painful as child birth.
I expect a meal and a movie before my exam. I don’t appreciate it when my doctor puts both hands on my shoulders during the exam though…personal preference.
Gay men might be getting more prostate massages, but they are also getting all sorts of weird bacteria and often VD injected into their butts. I hate to say it, but anal sex is a health risk.
@@gtbanga1479 , the only reason I get a prostate massage is because it feels extremely pleasurable, yes, even if a guy does it to me. It feels so good.
@@propman3523 sounds like you need your head examined. YOU are going to risk your life hoping a thin latex rubber doesn't break? YOU don't value your life very much
My prostate exam was a bit unnerving, The first thing that seemed unusual was the little red light that came on near the ceiling when I was settling on the examination table. My concerns grew when I heard the doctor sort of panting and breathing hard. My suspicions were further raised when I twisted my head around and observed that he was shirtless, sweating, and punching the air with his free hand. There may may be a professional reason for this, and I know the examination is always going to be an awkward situation for some doctors, but I remain puzzled. Has anyone else had this type of exam, and did your doctor slump in their big chair and contentedly smoke a cigarette at the end of it?
i suggest low level laser therapy over the perineum region or in combination alternately by vibration hammer device, but just from outside superficially on the skin ! what helps in just 2 days for chronic case is coloidal silver 30ppm 3x a day 1 to 2 spoons full sublingual before meals.
On the day of my prostrate appointment, my Doc received me with a box of Ferrer Rocher choxolates, a bottle of california red, red roses and a twinkle in his right eye. It was fantastic. I immediately signed up as a Clarinet player in my hometown marching band and made an appointment with my dentist hoping he will fill my void.
She started out doing while wearing rubber gloves. After a few months, she bought a prostate milker online like that has like 10,000 different vibrations. It is much thicker than her finger. Sometimes she likes to have me spurting into the air, but most of the time she covers me with a washcloth to catch it.
Very interesting content that people would otherwise avoid and shy away from I, for one, like to know what does and what does not give health benefits (ie; a LOT of body parts benefit from massages)
My last physical was November 2014 my Nurse practitioner was a 6 ft 5. D1 basketball athlete. When it was time for the prostate exam I watched him reach for the xl size glove. He told me he had no problem palming a basketball, yup you guessed it never been since,
I've had my prostate checked during a physical. I had my 1st prostate check at 17 by a female doctor @ Kaiser in LA. I've had 2 prostate massages in the past 14 years. The 2nd time, which was the last time she wanted to put 2 fingers instead of 1 later during the session.
The only issue I'm having is my "stream" is very week at times, mediocre at best most of the time...no pain, fever, or anything else. Recently, my "night" trips to the bathroom have dropped from every 45 min to an hour to just 2-3 times during the night...not sure why, but I'm enjoying the improvement.
I just turned 64; I do go an hour before and right before going to bed just after my bath; unfortunately, I drink a lot of water...120+ ounces per day, right up to just before my bath and going to bed.
@@jameshigginbothamiii8703 ...I just turned 63 and have prostate problems in the family although my psa is 2.1 what I was told to give up all dairy products and to do 16-8 intermittent fasting to keep insulin down, decrease inflammation in the body and increase autophagy and after 2 mth I no longer wake up at night my peeing stream is near normal and feel much... actually MUCH! better overall, all I do is not eat anything for breakfast and just have lunch and dinner, I'm retired so I manage to go for walks or ride the bike in the morning (takes a week or so for your body to get used to the new routine) once your body gets used to it you'll have heaps of energy while fasting, remember to eat healthy energy dense foods (wild caught salmon, avocados, organic eggs and lots of green veggies) go to bed before 10pm and no stress, stress is a killer and your prostate will love you for it 👌
My dentist used his own personal special tool on my teeth, and now they are whiter than ever. The taste of the cream tastes a little strange, though. Kind of slightly salty.

Prostate massage can cause relief of pelvic floor discomfort or congestion by basically stimulating the pudendal nerves which can be somewhat erotic if done correctly-men have very strong pelvic floor contractions with orgasm which incorporates the prostate. But this same massaging also relieves the pelvic floor muscles which relaxes them and takes the tension off and many men find urinating easier.

What is the chance that a prostate massage for pleasure, deliberately stimulating it, would cause a disruption or change in the nodule for the worse? Like cause it to break open. And thank you for being so open about this topic.
Salutations, Dr. Malik!
Thank you so much for educating so many people about a subject that most people prefer to remain ignorant about until it directly affects them.
I think it was especially helpful for you to point out that that it is important to use lubricants that are specifically formulated for use in areas that they are designed to be used in, and that it is contraindicated to use them in other areas. I think this is often overlooked and not discussed by a large number of patients and other people that particularly are looking into non-medical applications. Most pharmacies and adult resources frequently do not seem to make the distinction between one use and another, and how the negative affects of improper ph levels can negatively affect subjects biome’s.
Thank you for posting these videos!
Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🙏🏻
Thanks Rena for addressing men’s health issues, you do a great job explaining, we never ask - mostly just wonder in the background while being marginalized by society today
Why do u feel ur marginalized by society?

When I asked my doctor where I should put my trousers when I was getting ready for my exam. He said “over there, next to mine”.
I had a prostate exam awhile back and it was very painful. I asked the doctor why and he said he used 2 fingers. When I asked why he said, "because I needed a second opinion." I'll see myself out...
Oh shit!
Thank you for the presentation and analysis..
You can purchase a Prostate massager.. Better form as not to cause injury. You can do yourself..
I had my prostate exam too a while ago, my doctor was professional and polite...but I had to ask after a few seconds into it, if it was a necessary procedure since i came there for a dental cleaning.
well, i've heard of vagina dentata, but rectal dentata ?
Yes, I'm thinking about laying a pelvic floor in my kitchen, all recommendations are appreciated
My recommendation is don't quit your day job you're not a very good comedian.

I am very glad I found your videos. My father, who is now 70, has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, and it has spread to his Hip Bone, (matasitsized?? sorry for misspelling). I am now 50 and realize that I need to ensure that i start getting prostate exams, now knowing that this cancer is in my family.
My father had been complaining for years about having to get up to pee several times per night, and it really was effecting his sleep. Unfortunately, my dad is and 'old fart' who avoided seeing a doctor for years.
I am begining to have this problem. I don't know if they are related, but Im going to keep watching your videos and doing research.
I also find allot of your information very informative and very professionally conveyed. Thank you.
I pray for the wellbeing of your father.
great educational videos Doc. how and what can men do or take in prevention of enlarge prostate and is it hereditary specially if members of the family had it or may have it. Thank you very much for all the helpful info's.
Can you do a hands-on demo of proper prostate massage technique and directional motion? This is important stuff.
That would be of great scientific benefit.

The first time I had a prostate exam it was part of an overall physical I had to have done for work. I was about 24 years old, and was nervous as hell about it. For some reason, I thought a little humor might be of use, so I told the guy....sometimes I think of the things I've said over the years and just shake my head....he asks if I've ever had this done before. I said no. Then I followed it up with "I'll try not to dispatch any methane during the procedure." Now, to the casual observer, maybe there's a little humor in that. If you're the guy about to perform the exam, probably not so much. He said "This....is an exercise in relaxation."
No it was not. I'm the first to admit that his line was waaaay funnier than mine, but...no, there was no relaxation to be had.
All I got to say is “if he puts those gloves on, he better plan on doing some dishes!”
4:35 just like men's health in general.
"Has largely been abandoned."
Thank you for your vid Doc!!👍
They're is good supplements out they're for prostate health & eat healthy & juice 🍹🍎🍉🌿
Had one done recently, while he was checking it, I told him "Can you take off your ring?, it's uncomfortable". He said "that's not my ring, it's my watch!!!" I was like YIKES...

Told i had a huge prostate. There are tools by Giddi that I started with and never had to take meds for years. Had the MRI, all clear... Prostatitis isn't the only issue.. Hypertrophy is. Sitting now, no sweat... Thanks Doc, I listen to you all the time
The first one I ever had went fine. The second time, the dr. wasn’t able to get in there for some reason. Should I get a new dentist??
“We use a very well lubricated finger…” reminded me of that scene in the TV program ER when the intern, Dr. Carter, forgot the lube. It was hilarious, but only because it wasn’t me.
i remembeer a TV program where the OBGYN would remove his glove

Reminds me of the scene from Two and a half men where charlie dreams he dies. «I want the spit», lol.
Feels amazing as well when done correctly
On my first prostate exam I called the DR. Capt. Kirk he attempted to correct me but I still called him Capt. Kirk. At the end he asked why did I keep referring to him by Capt Kirk. I advised that he went where no man has gone before. He and his nurse couldn’t stop laughing.
the klingons were circling uranus ?
Consciously yes but we never know since we have no memory from the first years of our life. Who knows, maybe a nasty neighbor knows more than we do.
Prostate massage gave some relief from what I believe was a blockage of some ducts in the prostate. I had bilharzia as a child and a scan picked up some calcification in the prostate. I had difficulty ejaculating a few times, and several bouts of prostatitis. My urologist suspected Chlamidia despite a negative test, and gave a one shot antibiotica, which gave some relief. I would appreciate more info on prostatitis and possibly blockage in the various tubes.

YES 🌟
I dont have many problems with my prostate (37yr) and I think the major thing is because I massage it regularly. But I dont use those big toys that make your eyes pop out from pain, I do it with my hugo and it feels really good. Id recommend this toy to anyone looking for a decent prostate massager (it has a perineum massage part too)!
Dear Dr. Rena malik.
Please make a video o fatty liver.
Symptoms and treatment.
Great informative video. I have been getting a prostate massage about once a month for 10 years now & have always had great experiences. This information has been kept under the rug for too long. Thanks for the video.
Is it pleasurable?
@@bobby1970 It can be if done right but it’s more therapeutic. Watch the VR again and you will understand how beneficial it can be.
With finger?

@@happycamper5900 In my area there are several legitimate massage parlors that offer medical massages.
does the prostate massage help with prostatitis?
Could you comment on the possible role of fungal infection being the root cause of non bacterial prostatitis looking at studies such as the one published in the Central European Journal of Urology in 2013 by Kotb et al. as well as other studies showing that non bacterial prostatitis contracted by men under 40 is often fungal related and why this isn't addressed more. Also if you could comment on why tests such as Expressed Prostatic Secretions (or others) are not routinely done to find out what type of bacteria or fungal infection is being dealt with so that treatment can be better targeted. Thanks :)
You have informed me. Thank you
Yep and a reach around at the same time helps also
Remember milking the prostate in Road Trip with Sean William Scott & the nurse…
“That was….. AWESOME”

I have a lady doctor who told me she needed to check my prostate. While she was doing it she said I should probably give up masturbating for a while. I asked why, and she said because I was moving around too much and it was hard to do the exam.
Lmmfaooo 😂
God bless your knowledge and free information on situations that concern men's health Dr.
Can,a Dr .do damage to the Prostate ,when doing a rectal exam..
Would love to learn more about prostatitis. Was diagnosed with non bacterial prostatitis. And my urologist didn't even analyze my fluids. Could you make a video on non bacterial prostatitis?
I had prostatitis a few years back myself. Pain, difficulty urinating and 103 temp. Symptoms ended almost immediately with a dose of Advil given to address the temp when I went to urgent care. Urine sample afterward (first time I'd felt I'd been able to completely empty my bladder in days) and physical exam turned up nothing, but I did end up doing a course of antibiotics just in case. From my research I recall there's some percentage of prostatitis cases that are of unknown cause. Would love to hear Rena's thoughts on this.
Guys …. i cured my recurring bouts with prostatitis by cutting out liquid Cows Milk from my diet. Fortunately i can still eat cheese and the occasional yogurt with no effect… a glass of cold milk an cookies or a big bowl of cereal and milk are delicious i know but it’s a small price to pay for not experiencing the frightening pain and misery of prostatitis …. definitely worth a try !!
as a 76 year old male, i find my diet is key and taking anti inflammatory vitamins help also, i know if i am doing things right by the way i go to the washroom, lol, what i have found over the years is that every body reacts differently to the same treatment. i have also found that DIET is key to your health, if you are counting on pharmacy stuff you
needs to wake up to reality. there are several good doctors putting out vids dealing with this matter.
You right young man! 👍
I'm a half decade younger than you, and I totally agree about diet. And exercise. I eat multiple fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, beans, legumes, whole grains, and salmon and sardines. And I drink espresso. (coffee is good for people who don't get jittery from caffeine.) And I run with my dog most days.
Ask your local asian massage parlor if they offer this service. Most do for an additional fee. I have found that costs vary with missus, and are of often negotiable. I highly recommend it.....especially during table shower.
Well embarrassingly it works for me. I was having weak urine stream and pain. The urologist prescribed an antibiotic even though my urine didn’t show any signs of infection but I got the prescription anyway and took the pills and the pain went away and my stream improved somewhat. A few months later the pain was back, I’m missing the toilet and soaking the floor and didn’t want another course of antibiotics cause again, nothing was found in the urine. So I got some toys figured out which fit best and went at it. And behold I was peeing like a champ! Not to mention the pain started to go away and according to my wife my “performance” improved (though she won’t help me with the massage). I am an avid cyclist for many years and never had an issue until one day I had an issue. I massage every few months and everything works as it should (no more urine on the floor!). Yeah it helps, I am proof of it. And yes it’s embarrassing to talk about. BUT we just buried my brother-in-law this past May, he died at 53 from prostate cancer and it was an undignified dimise. So get you psa levels checked yearly and lube up every now and then! Hope this helps
Since there's millions of toys out there, how did you find the best without all the gimmicks?

Dr. Rena, do you give a reach around while you do it?
So what your saying is using a corn cob is not a good idea unless its heavily buttered ?
Since turning 40, my priority in selecting a doctor as a general practitioner is that they have very skinny index fingers. No matter how good any doctor may be, if he/she has sausage fingers they are IMMEDIATELY removed from consideration.
They should just make a artificial massager
@@thatdude3977 They do.
LOL! LOVE IT
Facts lol I got a skinny Indian lady dr
DREs are relatively 42-46% accurate, also while looking for tiny fingers you should also look for "delicate" as well. A doctor with rough or callus hands might miss details. It is better to have a PSA blood test, less invasive more accurate, and if you already feel some pain down there you should schedule a CT or MRI scan for a better picture of the situation. Hope you stay healthy!
I would like to learn more about prostatitis, please and thank you for all of your informative content filled videos.✌🙏

When my 'Proc Doc' tells me 'everything looks fine; what specific questions should I ask?
When my test comes back what numbers should I see? How the numbers expressed and what to they mean for a 55 year old guy.

When your Proc' Doc' tells you that your prostate "looks good" you've got a bigger problem than you think.
You should have 4 poop units
So …..what did he use to examine you with, when he had one hand on each shoulder? 🤔
I think it would be good to mention kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor for better bladder control. Do they help with prostate problems?
When I was in college and donated sperm at $ 50 per pop. The nurse there would perform prostate massage as I came close to ejaculating. She said this helped the sperm stay viable.
One day she was replaced by another nurse and when I asked her about it. She looked horrified. I think with my big mouth I got the other nurse fired. I truly believed she was helping the sperm.
In your dreams maybe
Does a happy ending cost extra, like it does for a regular massage?
I don't think asking for a "reach-around" is too much myself... lmao
I had a prostate examination through ultrasound.

I was diagnosed with prostatitis and missed 6 weeks of work. Felt like I was sitting on a softball. Urologist examined me every week and milked as he called it, the prostate to put fluid on a slide. Wasn’t comfortable but definitely not the worst pain I’ve ever had. I suffer from chronic kidney stones so I didn’t think prostatitis was painful.
I got acute prostatitis & think I came close to dying from the acute associated vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Fortunately my wife got me to the hospital & 48 hrs on IV antibiotics sorted me out. 😳👍
@@rockykoast7065 it took 2 weeks of tablet form antibiotics for me. Told me they were the strongest they could prescribe. Prostatitis ain’t no joke. Hope your all cured!
😂 the dr in this video said they stop doing this in the 20 century because it has no medical benefits 😯.
There are only two things I experienced as more painful than my kidney stone.
Had bile duct spasms on the same level, but having my lower leg crushed as well as amputated was worse than the kidney stone.
Although not by a lot, they say those are as painful as child birth.

I expect a meal and a movie before my exam. I don’t appreciate it when my doctor puts both hands on my shoulders during the exam though…personal preference.
my doctor threw me a box of tissues and said " clean yourself up " lol my lady cracks up because. she was there when it happened
Maybe best to give your Dr the cold shoulder!
Thanks For. the info Dr. Rena, but I have to say that's one area I don't want anyone going to near , it's an exit not entrance.
It might be interesting to do a study of straight versus gay men, to see who develops more prostate problems over time.
Facts, who’s getting a prostate massage though? Basically getting fingered
Gay men might be getting more prostate massages, but they are also getting all sorts of weird bacteria and often VD injected into their butts. I hate to say it, but anal sex is a health risk.
@@wordsofcheresie936 Have you heard of safe-sex? We do use condoms which cuts this risk way down if not out altogether.
@@gtbanga1479 , the only reason I get a prostate massage is because it feels extremely pleasurable, yes, even if a guy does it to me. It feels so good.
@@propman3523 sounds like you need your head examined. YOU are going to risk your life hoping a thin latex rubber doesn't break? YOU don't value your life very much
My prostate exam was a bit unnerving, The first thing that seemed unusual was the little red light that came on near the ceiling when I was settling on the examination table. My concerns grew when I heard the doctor sort of panting and breathing hard. My suspicions were further raised when I twisted my head around and observed that he was shirtless, sweating, and punching the air with his free hand. There may may be a professional reason for this, and I know the examination is always going to be an awkward situation for some doctors, but I remain puzzled.
Has anyone else had this type of exam, and did your doctor slump in their big chair and contentedly smoke a cigarette at the end of it?
Hi can you test our vibrations? ❤
I had a prostate exam and the Dr. really knew what he was doing he done the exam and had both hands on my shoulders.
I massaged my own prostate and had immediate relief of prostate inflammation. And the effects lasted for about 2 months for me.

She started out doing while wearing rubber gloves. After a few months, she bought a prostate milker online like that has like 10,000 different vibrations. It is much thicker than her finger. Sometimes she likes to have me spurting into the air, but most of the time she covers me with a washcloth to catch it.

The best prostate exam I ever got was at an oriental massage parlor.
My last physical was November 2014 my Nurse practitioner was a 6 ft 5. D1 basketball athlete. When it was time for the prostate exam I watched him reach for the xl size glove. He told me he had no problem palming a basketball, yup you guessed it never been since,
yeah, im a 6ft 6 doctor, i know what u mean......🤣
I've had my prostate checked during a physical. I had my 1st prostate check at 17 by a female doctor @ Kaiser in LA. I've had 2 prostate massages in the past 14 years. The 2nd time, which was the last time she wanted to put 2 fingers instead of 1 later during the session.
The only issue I'm having is my "stream" is very week at times, mediocre at best most of the time...no pain, fever, or anything else. Recently, my "night" trips to the bathroom have dropped from every 45 min to an hour to just 2-3 times during the night...not sure why, but I'm enjoying the improvement.
Try to pee like an hour or less before going to bed, and then also right before going to bed
@@BobRoss-wm3lc cut back on fluids a couple of hours prior to bedtime.
You older? Sounds like you have a swollen prostate.
I just turned 64; I do go an hour before and right before going to bed just after my bath; unfortunately, I drink a lot of water...120+ ounces per day, right up to just before my bath and going to bed.
@@jameshigginbothamiii8703 ...I just turned 63 and have prostate problems in the family although my psa is 2.1 what I was told to give up all dairy products and to do 16-8 intermittent fasting to keep insulin down, decrease inflammation in the body and increase autophagy and after 2 mth I no longer wake up at night my peeing stream is near normal and feel much... actually MUCH! better overall, all I do is not eat anything for breakfast and just have lunch and dinner, I'm retired so I manage to go for walks or ride the bike in the morning (takes a week or so for your body to get used to the new routine) once your body gets used to it you'll have heaps of energy while fasting, remember to eat healthy energy dense foods (wild caught salmon, avocados, organic eggs and lots of green veggies) go to bed before 10pm and no stress, stress is a killer and your prostate will love you for it 👌
Every time I see Dr Mitchell he gives me a prostate exam. I think I need to find a new dentist.
🤣
Oh you go to him too? No wonder his gloves taste like 💩
My dentist used his own personal special tool on my teeth, and now they are whiter than ever. The taste of the cream tastes a little strange, though. Kind of slightly salty.
Friggin' yuck.
