How to pinpoint your prostate yourself

To pinpoint the location of the prostate, it can be described by the position of the prostate and its deep distance from the perineal skin, as explained below. 1. Location: The prostate is located in the central anterior part of the pelvis, below the bladder and above the urogenital diaphragm. Anteriorly, it is closer to the lower edge of the pubic symphysis, with a distance of 11.4±3.7 (mean±standard deviation) mm; posteriorly, it is closer to the lower end of the caudal interosseous space, with a distance of 50.8±13.0 mm; inferiorly, it is the urogenital diaphragm, which has a stronger and thicker histological structure than that of the pelvic diaphragm; when viewed sagittal, its posterior portion moves upward significantly when the soft tissue is pushed upward with the hand. 2. Deep distance from the perineal skin: the midpoint between the anterior border of the anus and the root of the scrotum is designated as the perineal point, and the deep distance from the skin to the lower border of the prostate is measured. The height of the skin from the perineum point to the lower edge of the urethral bulb is 23.5±12.4mm; the height of the lower edge of the urethral bulb and the lower edge of the prostate gland is 21.1±6.1mm; the height of the lower edge of the prostate gland from its mid-point to the mid-point of the lower corner of the bladder triangle is 31.1±5.8mm. Doctors can touch the prostate gland during rectal fingerprinting to detect some of the diseases. For more information about the prostate gland, please consult a specialist in detail.
