[19] The shape of a prostate massager is similar to a finger, since prostate massages are traditionally given digitally (for example, via fingering).

Prostate laser surgery is used to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by prostate enlargement. The surgeon inserts a scope through the penis tip into the urethra. A laser passed through the scope delivers energy to shrink or remove excess tissue that is preventing urine flow. [7] Different types of prostate laser surgery include:
The prostate, a.k.a. the "male G-spot," can produce mind-blowing orgasms. Sex experts explain where it is, how to stimulate it, and more.
The prostate gets larger in most men as they get older. For a symptom-free man of 46 years, the risk of developing BPH over the next 30 years is 45%. Incidence rates increase from 3 cases per 1000 man-years at age 45–49 years, to 38 cases per 1000 man-years by the age of 75–79 years.
Veins drain into the vesical and then internal iliac veins. [4] The lymphatic drainage of the prostate depends on the positioning of the area. Vessels surrounding the vas deferens, some of the vessels in the seminal vesicle, and a vessel from the posterior surface of the prostate drain into the external iliac lymph nodes. [4]
The International Prostate Symptom Score including a quality of life survey, is often used to quantify symptoms and to monitor the response to the treatment. Convalescence is relatively rapid, with most patients able to void and a mean recovery time of less than five days at home.
Saw palmetto extract has been studied in clinical trials as a possible treatment for people with prostate cancer and for men with lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] As of 2023 [update] , there is insufficient scientific evidence that saw palmetto extract is effective for treating cancer or BPH and its symptoms.
