A 78-year-old man with an enlarged prostate complaining of urinary symptoms  was treated with 10 prostatic massages combined with antibiotics. The patient  was asked to assign a global symptom score to his symptoms throughout the 16- day treatment period. A 10-point scoring system was used, with 10 representing  the most severe symptoms. The patient’s global symptom score fell from 5 before treatment to less than 1 after treatment. His prostate was markedly reduced in  size per palpation, and his prostate volume decreased by 52%, from 63 g to 30 g,  as measured by transrectal ultrasound. This case report demonstrates that  repetitive prostatic massage plus antibiotic therapy was effective in alleviating  one man’s chronic pelvic symptoms, while decreasing the size of his prostate as  measured by transrectal ultrasound.
