To do the procedure, your doctor will slide a gloved finger into your rectum, then massage or press on the prostate from there. Massaging the prostate empties that fluid out of your prostate ducts.
Its main job is to make the fluid, also called semen, that helps sperm travel and survive. The prostate is a small gland about the size of a golf ball between the base of the penis and the rectum. But it’s not something doctors usually recommend or use for testing or treatment. This therapy might offer some health benefits, or your doctor might use it to diagnose a problem. Prostate massage is a way to empty fluids from your prostate ducts.
