Prostate massage is one of the traditional treatment methods. Studies have shown that proper prostate massage can promote the emptying of prostate gland ducts and increase local drug concentration, thereby relieving the symptoms of patients with chronic prostatitis. Therefore, it is recommended as an adjuvant treatment for type III prostatitis. It is contraindicated for patients with type I prostatitis.

Studies have shown that patients with chronic prostatitis have dyssynergia of the pelvic floor muscles or tension in the external urethral sphincter. Biofeedback combined with electrical stimulation therapy can relax the pelvic floor muscles and make them tend to be coordinated, while relaxing the external sphincter, thereby relieving the perineal discomfort and urination symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
