Which department does prostate belong to?

Male diseases are very common in life, especially prostate diseases, which have the greatest impact, because the prostate is an important power station for male sexual function. Once the prostate function is damaged, it may harm the physical health of men and cause men to be unable to fully play their sexual life. Prostate diseases must be treated in time, so which department does prostate belong to?

Generally speaking, prostate examination belongs to urology. Prostate examination includes B-ultrasound and rectal indication. During the examination, the patient can observe the hardness, size and shape of the prostate, and have a detailed understanding of whether the prostate is tender, has nodules, and has a sense of fluctuation.

During the examination, the patient usually takes the knee-chest position or lithotomy position. If the patient is a serious prostate patient or a patient with prostate weakness, he or she can also take the side-lying position. The doctor will then wear gloves or finger cots and apply Vaseline or liquid lithotripsy to the fingertips. When the patient takes the knee-chest position, the doctor can hold the patient's hips or shoulders with the left hand and press the anus with the right hand to prevent the anus from suddenly tightening due to the sphincter. Then slowly insert the finger into the anus. Into the anus, so when the finger tip enters about five centimeters from the anus, the anterior wall of the rectum and the prostate will be touched. Here you should pay attention to the formation and changes of the prostate. When massaging the prostate, use the tip of your finger to slowly massage inward and forward, about four to five times on each side, then move your hand to the gland along the median groove and begin to squeeze downward slowly, so that the prostatic fluid can be discharged from the urethra, take a sample of the prostatic fluid and start the examination.

Prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, is a relatively difficult-to-treat male disease. It requires daily attention and antibiotic treatment. If the condition is too severe, surgery can be performed.
