The prostate gland is called the second heart of a man. This organ is located below the bladder in the center of the male pelvis. Its other name is the prostate. It is the most important organ of the male genitourinary system. Unfortunately, diseases of this organ are quite common. These include prostate adenoma, prostate cancer, prostate stones, and, of course, prostatitis. These diseases greatly complicate the life of a man and pose an immediate threat to health. One way to treat prostate diseases is prostate massage. This procedure can be applied in several cases.
Prostate massage is used in the following situations:
- in order to obtain prostate secretion, such an analysis is called palpation rectal examination;
- as a procedure for the treatment of prostatitis;
- for pleasure - some people use self-massage of the prostate in order to obtain sexual satisfaction.
Prostate massage is a very common tool for the prevention and treatment of prostatitis, which has been known for a long time. Thanks to this procedure, potency increases, blood supply improves, sensation increases during orgasm, venous congestion decreases , penetration of antibiotics into this organ improves, urination is facilitated. Massage of the prostate gland not only has a beneficial effect and allows you to take prostate juice, but also allows the attending physician to monitor the changes that occur with the body during treatment.
Massage of the prostate is carried out with the index finger through the anus. The position for this process is knee-elbow (or not all fours) or lying on its side. In no case should you allow too much pressure - a sparing mode is one of the main conditions for the success of the procedure. Another important condition is an individual approach, because the structure of the prostate gland in each individual case may vary slightly. The duration of the massage should be about one minute. It is carried out daily or every other day, for 15 to 20 sessions, in general, the number and frequency of sessions depends on individual characteristics. At the end, the patient should urinate in order to remove the secret that was released during the massage.
The question of whether it is possible to do prostate massage yourself is a moot point. In the case of chronic prostatitis, some recommend that they carry out the procedure on their own while taking a shower, having previously washed the index finger. In addition, the idea is now spreading that prostate massage can be used for pleasure. But some experts strongly disagree with the idea of independently conducting this procedure. For example, Mikhail Levin in his book on the treatment of prostatitis says that only a specialist can carry out such actions, and in no case should a person do this without special education.
In addition, he also mentions a procedure that you can do yourself - eastern self-massage. It consists in massaging the point located between the anus and the base of the genital organs. First you need to click on this point up to a hundred times, and then press 36 times from front to back. Also, a compression of the anus, an exercise that can be performed in almost any environment, has a positive effect on the prostate. This action came to us from yoga.
Massage is contraindicated: for prostate cancer, acute prostatitis, adenoma of this organ, anal fissures, large prostate cysts. Carrying out massage in the presence of the above ailments is very dangerous for human health.
