Approximately 2/3 of the male population of the planet is confronted with problems associated with the prostate gland. Prostatitis is widespread among men. Pathology can arise on the basis of reducing the protective functions of the body, the presence of sexually transmitted infections, traumatizing the inguinal region, testicles, and undercooling. Other reasons include:
- disorders in the work of endocrine, cardiovascular systems;
- prolonged sexual abstinence;

- Constant overflow of the bladder
- age factor( men over 50 years old).
According to statistics, every second man faces the first problems of the prostate gland at the age of 25 to 30 years. However, most of the sex do not pay attention to treatment, while doing the usual things does not get hurt. Timely appeal for medical help, early diagnosis of diseases of the genitourinary system prevents the development of serious complications leading to a violation of erectile function, often to male infertility. Treatment should be selected only by a doctor.
Is massage useful?
Around such a delicate subject there are always disputes, the key point of which is the question whether prostate massage is useful. Since ancient times, due to the methods of mechanical action on the prostate gland, a favorable effect on sexual function has been found. Therefore, at all times it has been customary to do regular prostate massage. The benefits of a prostate massage are as follows:
- improves blood supply, oxygen exchange due to irritation of nerve endings, widening of blood vessels;
- stimulates secretion of the prostate;
- restores muscle fiber tone in the perineal region;
- increases the duration and quality of sexual intercourse, feelings are amplified.
If you do a finger massage, it is better to absorb the medications that are often used to treat this area. Such an effect serves as an effective tonic, restorative method, excellent prevention of sexual dysfunction, chronic inflammatory processes, stagnant phenomena.
Harm can only inflict the wrong performance of the complex. Therefore, before an independent procedure, you should take a course in a clinic. Many are afraid that it hurts. Correctly selected technique does not deliver painful sensations. Having mastered the necessary skills, you can stimulate the problem area without outside help. Also, one can not independently determine the treatment, so this technique has a number of contraindications.
Purpose of manipulation of
Many patients are wondering why such treatment is performed. The procedure is aimed at:
- prophylaxis of congestive phenomena in pelvic organs;
- restoration of blood flow;
- strengthening of sexual function.
External massage of the prostate with a finger is done in the presence of contraindications to intensive manipulations, often with the aim to enhance pleasant sensations during intimate intimacy. There is no contraindication to external stimulation. It can be done with adenoma. Harm with indirect massage is difficult.
Indications and contraindications
Indications for performing prostate massage are:
- chronic form of prostatitis;
- erectile dysfunction;
- inflammation of seminal vesicles;
- pain in the perineal region;
- need to collect a prostatic secret for analysis.
There are also contraindications for this procedure. These include:
- infectious-inflammatory processes of the prostate;
- presence of neoplasms of different etiology;
- anus damage, hemorrhoids, rectum diseases;
- pathology of the genitourinary system in the acute stage;
- difficulty in urinating( painful, intermittent, other).
If there are concomitant diagnoses, it is worthwhile to conduct appropriate treatment, relieve aggravation. According to doctors, doing direct massage with adenoma is not recommended, as it can be harmful, aggravate the condition. The opposite point of view can often be heard from specialists who provide the services of this massage. If it is fully massaged the affected area with adenoma of the prostate gland, then temporary relief can really give way to a subsequent increase in painful sensations due to the additional burden on the organ. Increased risk of adenoma enlargement in size. But if you reduce the intensity and massage the affected area moderately, exclusively externally, then the blood flow does improve, but not so much to exert a strong load. In some cases, with prostatic adenoma, the mechanical effect can not only be performed, but it must be done with a certain frequency. With adenoma, complex treatment is often performed. There is no unequivocal answer, what benefit or harm can such treatment bring. The result, as well as the technique of impact, depends on the specific case.
Procedure for the procedure
The technique of massage of the prostate in a medical institution assumes exposure in two ways:
- with a finger inserted through the anus;
- using a special tool - bougie, which is administered through the urethra.
The procedure is carried out by a urologist. To perform the massage requires pre-preparation. You need to make a cleansing enema half an hour before the session and drink water( at least 1 liter).To apply the first technique, the patient should take the most convenient position out of three: the
- knee-elbow position, on the couch;
- standing, leaning forward;
- lying on one side, bending his legs to his stomach.
The doctor puts on the glove, then lubricates the finger with petroleum jelly and injects it rectally.5 cm from the entrance you can palpate the lower edge of the prostate gland. The expert makes a step-by-step probing of the zone in order to assess the size, shape, consistency and condition of the affected area. After that, he proceeds directly to manipulation, beginning with the right part, which is less sensitive to irritants. Movement of the finger is carried out from the edges to the middle along the course of the ducts. An experienced doctor will do them correctly, so in the process of doing it does not get hurt. Then the left side massage is similarly done. In the first sessions, discomfort can occur. Correctly start the course with light strokes of the prostate gland with a finger, increasing the pressure with each subsequent procedure. The exposure time starts from a minute, then gradually increases to 5 minutes. The course is designed for 10 massages with an interval between them in a few days. The benefits are felt after a week.
Bug is inserted through the urethra and does similar movements from the front. This method is used when finger exposure is not possible. The patient is lying on his side.
Massage at home
Manipulation can be carried out at home. It is not recommended to do massage alone with adenoma, only according to the doctor's prescription. Otherwise, the technique is similar to the procedure in the clinic:
- lie down, bend the legs in the knees, pull up to the chest and push apart;
- put on the glove, treat with petroleum jelly;
- with your finger enter the anus;
- feel for the front surface of the rectum sensitive tubercle;
