Massage for prostatic hyperplasia

Manipulations associated with prostate massage are considered quite effective techniques to improve blood flow in the tissue structures of the male genitourinary system. The basic indication for massage of the prostate is inflammation of the prostate gland of a chronic nature, which entails stagnant phenomena. But what to do if another disorder is diagnosed, and is it worth doing prostate massage for BPH? Will this therapy be effective?

Characteristics of the disease in adenoma

Starting to think about carrying out manipulations associated with prostate massage for prostate adenoma, you need to clearly understand what a prostate adenoma is.

Adenoma means uncontrolled growth and increase in its volume of tissues included in the structural joints of the prostate gland. This type of pathology is most often diagnosed in elderly people, since over time the balance of hormones in the human body is disturbed.

The symptomatology of the disease is erased and in the early stages it is quite problematic to notice changes. But as soon as the adenoma begins to grow and reach a certain size, there is pressure on the surrounding tissues, and due to the anatomical structure, the urinary tract suffers first of all.

The representatives of the stronger sex have problems with the act of excretion of urine:

• increased interruptions between urination;
• force must be applied to empty the bladder as much as possible;
• pressure change;
• interruptions in urine flow.

A neglected form of prostatic hyperplasia causes serious disorders associated with a change in the functional characteristics of the urinary and reproductive systems in men.

Application of massage

Before prescribing a therapeutic massage, you must undergo a full examination and consultation with a specialist. This is necessary in order to know the stage of development of the pathological process, whether it is possible to massage the prostate with an adenoma, and also choose the type of massage manipulations.

The most effective massage for the male gland is rectal. Medical statistics say that after a course of carrying out the necessary manipulations, there are changes for the better in the treatment of the pathological process.

In case of prostate adenoma, it is not recommended to use transrectal massage, as it may not help, but only aggravate the effect of the chosen treatment method.

The use of transrectal massage for BPH may cause:

• increased pain;
• impact of a mechanical nature, can cause swelling of parts of the male gland, leading to even more significant problems with urine output;
• in the frequency of cases when the development of the disease has passed into later stages and the man has calculi in the kidneys, the effect of massage can cause the movement of stones along the urinary tract, thereby severely injuring the walls.

In addition, experts note that the use of thermal and electromagnetic effects will not give the expected good results.

Patients who have a similar ailment, it is necessary to choose the most gentle methods of performing manipulations, acting directly on the tissue of the gland.

Massage contraindications

Even taking into account the lightweight types of prostate massage for adenoma, there are a number of contraindications that must be taken into account.

Do not use procedures when:

• malignant tumors;
• during the period of exacerbation, there is a high probability of bringing the infection into the bloodstream;
• the presence of calculi and cystic formations in the tissue structures of the prostate gland;
• presence of thrombosis of hemorrhoidal veins and fissures in the anus.

Physical activities

An excellent plus to drug therapy is the use of special physical exercises. They are primarily aimed at maintaining the muscles of the abdominal wall and pelvis in an active state, as well as improving blood flow in the area of the genitourinary system.

Some excellent positions for releasing tension from the pelvic area are:

• knee to elbow;
• in a sitting position, with clenched knees and tense abdominal muscle fibers;
• lying down, lift the legs, fixing them in a raised state for as long as possible.

Experts in their recommendations argue that physical exercise is necessary not from time to time, but on an ongoing basis.

The main home remedies are those that relieve symptoms:

• applying warm sitz baths for 15 minutes;
• frequent ejaculate ejaculation;
• exclusion of unhealthy foods from the diet;
• comfortable sitting position;
• avoid constipation;

Preventive massage

It is widely known that it is better to take timely preventive measures than to cure the disease later. The use of transrectal massage is prohibited in advanced stages of prostate adenoma, but for prevention purposes, this technique will come in handy.

In addition, the glandular secretion will not stagnate, preventing pathological microorganisms from multiplying.

One of the main reasons for the onset of prostatic hyperplasia is a change in hormonal levels due to a sharp decrease in the amount of male sex hormones.

In order to maximally protect yourself from the development of pathological proliferation of cells and tissues of the prostate gland, you need to eat right, lead a correct lifestyle, and give up bad habits. One of the important points in prevention is a doctor's examination, at least once a year. This will allow you to identify the disease at an early stage and prescribe timely treatment that gives a positive result.
