Advantages and disadvantages of prostate massage:
1. Prostate massage can speed up the blood flow of the prostate, promote the blood circulation of the prostate, and accelerate the metabolism and nutrition supply of the prostate, which is very beneficial for the prevention and rehabilitation of prostate diseases.

In addition, frequent and forceful prostate massage will also cause excessive prostate congestion under continuous extrusion, resulting in blood circulation disorders.

If unprofessional people operate it, prostate stimulation is not conducive to the rehabilitation of the disease. Patients with chronic prostatitis should listen to the doctor's advice carefully.
