Of course, the urologist gives her husband a prostate massage professionally. But, in order to undergo a massage course, you do not have to visit a doctor. You can massage yourself.

And it's even better if a man is helped in this by a loved one whom he trusts - his wife. With the help of your wife, the massage will be painless, both physically and psychologically. Who, if not his wife, can be entrusted with such an intimate procedure? Before getting a prostate massage, the husband at home should know and follow some rules that will help make this procedure the most painless.

Before you start, you need to get ready:

• The perineum, genitals and anus should be well washed and wiped dry.
• The place where the procedure will be performed must also be prepared and covered with a large towel, bedspread or sheet.
• You will also need medical gloves or condoms, intimate lubricant (can be replaced with petroleum jelly or any greasy cream).
• The intestines should be empty, so a small enema will do the trick.
• And the bladder, on the contrary, needs to be filled. Drink a glass of water some time before starting the process.
• Hands should be washed thoroughly and nails should be trimmed short.
• At first glance, these are simple rules, but for a successful procedure you need to adhere to them. There are several types of massage: on a bootie, indirect, manually, water, hardware.

Massages are often done with a finger, following a specific sequence:

• Before starting a finger massage to your husband, put him in a position that is comfortable for the procedure. This can be the fetal position, on the back, with the knees tucked to the stomach, or the knee-elbow position.
• Place a condom on your hand or index finger. Lubricate it liberally with petroleum jelly or special grease. The anal opening also needs to be lubricated for better glide.
• Start finger massage on your prostate. Slowly insert your finger into the anus about 5 centimeters deep and find the location of the prostate (a small tubercle on the front wall of the rectum). Start massaging by lightly stroking the area to be massaged. Massage should be done slowly and gently to avoid unpleasant and painful sensations.
• Then, while massaging, gradually start pressing. Press harder on the seals and reduce the force on soft tissue. If you do everything right, then there should be no pain. If pain does occur, stop the procedure. Massage smoothly without making any sudden movements.
• When finished, you need to run your finger along the central groove of the gland and slowly remove the finger.
• After the procedure is over, it is necessary to empty the bladder, during which not only urine is released, but also the accumulated secretion.

A prostate massage takes approximately 2-3 minutes per session. This is enough to feel the positive effect of this procedure. It is better to massage the prostate for a man in the morning in order to supply oxygen to the prostate gland and relieve pain in the husband for the whole day. Massage should be done daily, for two weeks. After that, see a doctor who will suggest further treatment steps.
