Digital rectal examination is often performed by urologists as a part of prostate check-up as well as to collect prostate fluid to find out if any bacteria is present in the prostate.
Another reason why prostate massage may be helpful is in the case of prostatitis, the chronic one, where antibiotics have not helped. Prostate Scotland suggests that prostate massage may be used during prostatitis to release fluid and release pressure in the prostatic gland and help with pain during the process.
