Prostate Massage

Prostate massage is a way to empty fluids from your prostate ducts. In men diagnosed with azoospermia, this fluid could contain sperm that may be suitable for in vitro fertilization procedures. The procedure is also used for diagnostic purposes. The purpose is to get some fluid to examine under a microscope to look for signs of an infection or other problem. In the procedure, the doctor will slide a gloved finger into the rectum, then massage or press on the prostate from there. It may feel slightly uncomfortable, but it does not take long.
