Varieties of massages

Prostate massage is what makes the male gland resume its full performance. Massages are carried out on the bouge and transrectally.

Massaging the prostate, this is a kind of diagnosis

What is a prostate massage procedure? This is a method of treating prostatitis, which is more effective than the most expensive medication. Another feature of the procedure is the fact that with the help of massaging, you can diagnose the prostate gland. This is called palpation.

Thanks to this examination, a specialist can detect the causes of inflammation of the prostate gland.

What do rectal examinations give:

• identification of the size of the prostate (if the organ is enlarged, this indicates inflammation or the presence of hyperplasia);
• feeling the structure of tissues (shape, clarity of contours, density with elasticity, nodular formations, elasticity and other indicators);

The specialist takes into account not only the palpable tissue, but the patient's feelings during the examination. If, on palpation, the male gland is not worried about pain, then no serious changes are found.

A properly performed massage complex allows the urologist to make a preliminary diagnosis and take prostatic juice for analysis.

Massaging functionality

What does massage give?

• There is no such medicine that promotes the removal of pathogenic flora from the prostate gland, and with the help of massage together with prostatic juice, pathogenic microflora, purulent accumulations are removed.
• Massages help to establish microcirculation in the male gland, which makes it possible for the rapid flow of nutrients and oxygen to the body. This process is due to the fact that prostatitis provokes the onset of edema, due to which the organ cannot receive the active components of medicines in full.

How the procedures are carried out

Most often, patients for whom massage sessions are recommended do not agree to have procedures performed by a specialist, as they consider it shameful. This is a very wrong decision, since conducting a session may initially seem like the simplest procedure, but nevertheless, it is better to use the services of a qualified specialist to conduct them.

Massage sessions can only be prescribed by a specialist. Massages are not prescribed for all patients.

• oncological processes in the area of the prostate organ;
• onset of infection;
• exacerbation of the pathological process;
• hemorrhoids;
• anal fissures;
• chronic course of acute prostatitis;
• polyposis.

Men who have relapses of pathology carry out therapeutic massages annually - for preventive purposes. The sessions contribute to the improvement of the genitourinary system, enhance the erection.

The patient should lie on a couch, supine position, legs bent at the knees and firmly pressed against the chest. The specialist puts a condom on the finger, lubricates it with petroleum jelly, and also lubricates the anus. Initially, movements are carried out along the axis at the entrance to the anal canal.This is necessary so that the muscle relaxes, then the doctor slowly and carefully inserts the finger into the canal and makes gentle movements. The movements are done, starting with stroking, with a gradual increase in intensity by pressing, but so that the patient does not feel pain.

After the session, the man must empty the urine. Together with urine, stagnation occurs, which the specialist drove out during the massage. On such a finger procedure, as needed, you can take an analysis of the prostatic juice to examine the fluid for pathological processes.
