Prostate massage - how necessary and effective is this procedure?

Men faced with such a problem are wondering whether it is possible to massage the prostate with this form of the course of the disease, and whether this treatment helps.

Despite the strong psychological and physical discomfort, the patient should understand that men's health in the genitourinary system is in great need of such a procedure as massage for prostatitis.

What is the use of it? Firstly, massage of the prostate normalizes the flow and outflow of blood, which helps to clear the ducts of stagnant secretions as much as possible. Also, massage of prostatitis in men helps to improve oxygen access to the massaged gland, which has a positive effect on the regeneration of damaged cells affected by the decomposition of stagnant secretions. That is, massage of the prostate in men not only improves the circulation of oxygen and blood in the gland, but also effectively relieves inflammation. And, in combination with a therapeutic diet and drug treatment, it increases the effectiveness of treatment by 30-40%.

• Transrectal (with a finger, the prostate is massaged through the anus).
• In a standing position (performed by a doctor).
• Hydromassage (the introduction of liquid into the rectum, which irritates the mucous membrane, dilating the blood vessels).

Rectal massage, preparation

The most common and effective massage for prostatitis is rectal. Of course, it is better if you entrust this responsible task to a professional urologist. But a guy can conduct a session on his own, at home.

Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to carry out preparatory procedures:

If necessary, the course of such treatment will need to be continued.

Outdoor massage, general rules of execution

In addition to internal, rectal, external prostate massage is effective. It also helps to improve blood circulation by avoiding congestion. Also, massage for prostatitis without penetration helps to increase muscle tone, activates the secretion of the gland, accelerates the elimination of infection, and enhances drug treatment. External massage of prostatitis is prescribed for patients suffering from a chronic form, with problems with potency or its complete absence, stagnant processes in the canals, infertility, or as a method of prevention.

Unlike internal massage, it is much more convenient to carry out external massage on your own, at home, since it does not require internal interventions. Before starting, you need to warm up the body well with a regular massage. Further, it all depends on the type of external massage.

• The classic is to start by massaging the thighs and lower back, pressing well, rubbing and kneading each area. And then - proceed to massaging the prostate, located between the anus and the root of the penis.
• Connective tissue - done on the lower lumbar vertebrae. the ilia, moving to the buttocks, thighs and abdomen.
• Segmental - the lumbar triangle (sacrum) is massaged. In addition to strong pressure, gentle strokes can be used here.
• Vibration - massage of the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae using a vibrating massager. The session lasts at least 5 minutes.
• Palpation - carried out with the help of fingers, pressing on the prostate gland between the root of the male organ and the anal passage.

General rules for outdoor massage

As with rectal massage, external massage should be done by a guy with a full bladder. Therefore, do not forget to drink a glass or two of warm liquid half an hour before starting. And after the procedure - to empty the urine by going to the toilet. You also need to remember that the procedure should not cause unpleasant or painful sensations. The average time for an outdoor classic massage is 2-5 minutes.

With one or two fingers, feel for a small depression in the perineum near the anus and begin stroking, rubbing and kneading the gland using circular motions.

Prostate Massagers

Often prostate massage for chronic prostatitis is performed using special male massagers. They are divided into two types: invasive and non-invasive. What are their differences and how the male massager works, we will understand in more detail.

Invasive massagers require direct insertion into the anus. Their work is based on effects:

• heat radiation (warms up the organ, increasing blood circulation and increasing antibiotic therapy).
• Vibration impulses (stimulating the muscle frame, promotes the release of prostatic juice).
• Magnetotherapy (promotes the process of cell regeneration, relieves inflammation).

Non-invasive devices do not require internal intervention. They are used externally, in order to prevent prostatitis and stagnant processes. For advanced forms of the disease, it is practically ineffective.

The action of a non-invasive device is that a man sits on the device in the form of a cone with a truncated apex, placing a wide part under the scrotum and moving from side to side for 15-20 minutes twice a day.

As you can see, there are a lot of treatment methods for prostatitis. Perhaps some of them are more effective, others less. In any case, before starting treatment, you must contact a specialist who, after a thorough examination, will prescribe the optimal treatment.
