Is it possible to perform prostate massage on my own?
It happens that a person, having read articles on the Internet and studied the symptoms of prostatitis, decided that he also has all the signs of this disease. He begins to frantically search the network for tips on how to massage the prostate at home, and then begin self-medication. But this should not be done. After all, like any medical procedure, this type of massage has its contraindications. So, for example, it is impossible to conduct such sessions if a person has a history of:
- benign or malignant tumor;
- vesiculitis, orchoepididymitis, cuperitis, acute urethritis;
- prostate cyst;
- exacerbation of hemorrhoids;
- stones in the prostate gland ;
- cracks in the anus;
- inflammation of the prostate gland in the acute stage;
- prostate tuberculosis;
- bacterial prostatitis;
- violation of the urination process (a lot of urine remains);
- genital herpes;
- symptoms of syphilis.
Usually, prostate massage (each specialist has a scheme for it) is carried out by an experienced urologist or proctologist. But there are times when there is no qualified specialist or the patient is embarrassed to contact him with such a problem, and trusts the closest person to perform such an intimate procedure. Then the question arises, how to conduct prostate massage on your own, where to start, how many times you need to conduct such a session, etc.
Firstly, you must definitely visit a doctor to exclude the presence of contraindications. If there are none, the doctor can explain in detail to the person whom the patient trusts to perform prostate massage at home, the scheme for its implementation. Secondly, starting to do such a procedure, you should tune in to a long and sometimes painful treatment, strict adherence to all massage techniques. Thirdly, it is necessary to purchase a special cream for this (analgesic) and surgical gloves.
So, starting to perform the manipulation of “prostate massage” on your own, you need to know the following:
- there must be an assistant who will carry out this procedure, since it is very difficult to conduct such a process correctly and effectively;
- You will have to go through 12-15 such sessions;
- the duration can be from half a minute to two;
- The bladder should be full.
The technique is as follows: the patient lies on his side, bringing his knees to the chin. The doctor (or the person whom the patient trusts to do this) inserts the index finger into the anus (the hand should be in the glove on which the medicine is applied) and begins to stroke each lobe of the gland from the periphery to the center, given the location of its excretory ducts. How to find a prostate? By inserting a finger into the anus, one can feel a round formation in the rectum on the front wall. This is the prostate. Here it should be stroked in circular motions and rubbed.
If a person does not have the opportunity to have such sessions at home or at home, you can try to massage the prostate yourself, only it will be as follows: you need to learn to periodically reduce the muscles of the anus or massage the appendages and testicles yourself. This type of exposure will enhance the neuroregulatory process and blood flow, will indirectly affect the prostate gland. In general, gymnastics, which trains the muscles of the pelvic organs (including the prostate), is very effective for any pathologies in this area of the human body.
