Prostate massage: technique, types

Men, on whose health not only wealth but also harmony in the family depends, are very jealous of their sexual duties. After all, problems in bed gradually turn into serious conflicts outside of it, and sometimes even become the reason that people who previously loved each other no longer want to be together. In terms of the scale of the problem, diseases that cause disorders in the sexual sphere are equated by the stronger sex only with disability, and the diagnosis of "impotence" at a young age sounds like a terrible sentence. But many male diseases can be easily prevented with the help of one simple procedure. And doctors themselves recommend prostate massage as an effective method of treatment and prevention of pathologies affecting the reproductive system of men. [ 1 ]

Prostate and its health

The reproductive system is a complex multi-component structure, the coordinated work of which determines not only the possibility of procreation, but also the well-being of a person. The male reproductive system includes both external (penis, scrotum, testicles) and internal genitals. The latter are not visible to the naked eye, so the stronger sex sometimes simply forgets about them.

One of the internal organs of the male reproductive system is the prostate gland, which is simply called the prostate. This small organ (no larger than a table tennis ball, similar in shape to a chestnut) is located in the pelvic cavity in front of the rectum, slightly below the urinary bladder.

In childhood, the prostate gland is small in size, but as puberty progresses, it grows and in adulthood reaches a volume of 25 ml.

The prostate consists of a glandular layer, smooth muscles and connective tissue and is penetrated by many nerve fibers. It performs 3 most important functions in a man's life:

• Production of a specific secretion, which is necessary for liquefying the sperm produced in the testicles and necessary for procreation. Thanks to this secretion, which contains an antimicrobial component (zinc), hormones (and in particular dihydrotestosterone), a complex of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as enzymes that ensure the functionality of the reproductive system, spermatozoa are able to move actively. And the optimal acid-base balance of sperm, maintained by the prostate secretion, allows male semen to remain healthy and viable for a sufficient period of time.
• Ensuring the movement of sperm mixed with prostatic secretion into the urethral canal during ejaculation. The sensitive tissues of the prostate actively contract at the moment of orgasm, which ensures the movement of seminal fluid.
• Partially covering the urethra, it protects the upper urinary tract from infection from the lower ones.

If any of the above functions are disrupted, a man begins to have problems with the genitourinary system, which in most cases leads to a disruption of the reproductive function. If the gland becomes inflamed or increases in size for another reason (for example, due to tumor processes), it begins to squeeze the urethra, and the man begins to have problems with the outflow of urine.

Male restraint and unwillingness to share their problems leads to the fact that men suffer from pain and intoxication caused by stagnation for a long time, only worsening the situation. It is customary to consult a doctor when problems with potency are superimposed on the above symptoms. And even these, most men try to solve on their own with the help of potency-enhancing pills, many of which have a stimulating, but not therapeutic effect.

And even the vaunted "Viagra" is not always able to completely and irrevocably restore impaired potency. But this is possible with effective treatment methods, one of which is prostate massage. In addition, unlike most medications, massage procedures can be recommended as a preventive measure. At the same time, the likelihood of developing side effects with a professionally performed massage is significantly lower than the risk of harm to health from the use of drugs.

We will try to consider in more detail what are the benefits and harms of prostate massage, what types of massage procedures there are and how to perform them correctly, whether there are contraindications to such manipulations and what are the consequences of improper massage.

Indications for the procedure

We have already mentioned that prostate massage is considered a popular treatment and preventive procedure recommended by male doctors (urologist, andrologist). The purpose of such a procedure is to prevent and eliminate congestion in the prostate gland, which usually causes the development of an inflammatory process in this important organ of the male reproductive system. [ 2 ]

Treatment of prostate diseases with massage is a fairly common practice, which many men have an extremely negative attitude towards. Especially in cases where the doctor prescribes rectal massage. But if you put aside the psychological discomfort from the thought that the doctor will stimulate the prostate through the anus and rectum (men have not the most pleasant associations with this), the result of regular procedures can be getting rid of problems that have usually tormented the patient for more than one month.

Most often, prostate massage is prescribed for prostatitis. This is a disease in which inflammation occurs in the glandular layer of the prostate gland. The cause of this pathology can be either the penetration or activation of a bacterial infection (activation of opportunistic microflora is possible due to hypothermia or severe weakening of the immune system), or stagnation in the organ caused by circulatory disorders in the pelvic area (for example, with sedentary work, irregular sexual activity, physical inactivity, etc.).

Signs of prostatitis include problems with urination (frequent urges with small, often dripping urine output, a burning sensation in the urethra) and defecation (pain during and after bowel movements), decreased potency, premature ejaculation, often accompanied by pain, prolonged painful erection at night. In acute prostatitis, these symptoms are significant, forcing the patient to seek help from doctors.

But chronic prostatitis usually proceeds almost asymptomatically. Which does not make it less dangerous. The long-term inflammatory process, although not accompanied by noticeable pain syndrome, weakens the tissues of the prostate gland and adjacent organs (and in particular, the rectum, which often causes hemorrhoids).

In the acute phase of the disease, any stimulating procedures are contraindicated so as not to prevent the spread of a bacterial infection, which is either present initially or joins as the disease progresses. But in the chronic course of the pathology, massage is extremely useful. After all, it will help restore blood circulation and lymph flow in the affected organ, which is effective for the regeneration of prostate tissue, the removal of pathogens, poisons and toxins from the body. The latter can be both the products of bacterial activity and the result of stagnation of urine - a liquid containing harmful substances and poisoning the body in concentrated form.

In the chronic form of prostatitis, prostate massage can be prescribed regardless of the nature of the disease and the causes that cause it.

One of the complications of prostatitis is an abscess of the organ, i.e. its purulent inflammation. In this case, prostate massage will help to more actively remove pus from the prostate gland itself and the urethral canal.

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is another indication for prostate massage. This syndrome is typical for most cases of chronic prostatitis (more than 80%), when men are simply unaware of their disease.

Another fairly common disease of the male reproductive system is prostate adenoma. This is a benign tumor of the organ, the treatment of which at an early stage also often includes prostate massage. However, in this case, the procedure is approached with particular caution, using external massage. If the neoplasm has already acquired large dimensions, which affects the functioning of the genitourinary system, stimulating procedures are not carried out. [ 3 ]

Hemorrhoids are a fairly common complication of prostatitis, when the inflammation spreads to the rectum, disrupts blood circulation and weakens its tissues, resulting in prolapse of hemorrhoids. In the initial stage, hemorrhoids themselves are treated in a complex manner using a rectal massage that does not require deep penetration of the doctor's finger into the intestines. The prostate is located deep inside and during its rectal massage, inflamed hemorrhoid foci can be damaged.

If prostatitis is accompanied by hemorrhoids, only external massage is allowed: massage of the perineum, massage of the lower abdomen and lower back. But even indirect prostate massage (impact on the muscles of the perineum) can cause harm in hemorrhoids in the acute stage of the disease.

Among other things, prostate massage is also used for diagnostic purposes. The prostate gland is an internal organ, and in order to determine its condition in various male diseases, instrumental studies are required. And in order not to send men for an ultrasound once again, the doctor first evaluates the size of the prostate and its soreness by palpation. The easiest and closest way to approach the organ is through the rectum, so rectal (direct) massage is performed for diagnostic purposes.

During the massage, the doctor may detect an increase in the size of the prostate gland, characteristic of the inflammatory process, the presence of seals in it, which is very important in the diagnosis of adenoma and prostate cancer. [ 4 ] However, in order to find out whether the tumor is benign or malignant, additional studies will be required (blood test, biopsy, histological analysis).

If it is necessary to take a sample of prostatic secretion, prostate massage helps to cause a good, full erection and ejaculation sufficient for laboratory testing.

Massage procedures have been used for medical and diagnostic purposes relatively recently, while prostate massage has been used for a long time to increase potency. The tradition of stimulating a man's sexual function in this way has ancient roots. The first to observe it were the inhabitants of the East, or rather, its nobility: shahs, sultans. They could afford to have a personal doctor at court who regularly performed this procedure.

Such manipulations allowed men who had a large harem to always remain on top until old age and to be very skilled lovers. In addition, massage allowed to maintain male health, preventing stagnation in the prostate gland, which is very important for a sedentary lifestyle.

It is not for nothing that massage for improving potency is called royal. However, today, with the rise of medicine, royal prostate massage, which serves both for the prevention of male problems and for stimulating male potency, has become available not only to rich people. Another thing is that men do not really like this procedure, especially if it is performed in a hospital by a stranger.

Preparation

Prostate massage is a procedure that will have a good effect only if it is carried out correctly. This very important point should be taken into account when seeking help from doctors. It is better if massage procedures are carried out by a specialist with sufficient experience, who, among other things, will tell you how to effectively and safely carry out prostate massage yourself or with the help of relatives at home.

Prostate massage is not a complicated procedure, but it requires knowledge of the anatomy of the male reproductive system, and the rules for its implementation require special training.

Traditionally, prostate massage is performed using the finger method through the rectum. Like any manipulation of this kind, it requires preliminary bowel movement. Moreover, we are not talking about the natural act of defecation or the use of laxatives, but about a cleansing enema that cleanses the lower sections of the intestine.

This procedure is usually not difficult, and many are familiar with it from childhood. You need to fill a syringe with 200 ml of warm boiled water or strained herbal decoction (chamomile is usually used as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent). The temperature of the liquid should be close to the body temperature in the anus, i.e. about 37 degrees.

Next, lubricate the tip of the syringe with Vaseline or vegetable oil and, spreading the buttocks with your hand, carefully insert it into the anus with rotating movements that facilitate movement and reduce the risk of injury to intestinal tissue. Pressing on the bulb, gradually introduce liquid into the rectum, then remove the tip of the syringe.

It is best to do the enema in a side-lying position. After all the liquid has been injected and the syringe has been removed, it is recommended to lie in the same position for a few minutes. Usually, after a few minutes, a strong urge to defecate appears. This is a signal to empty the bowels.

But the cleansing procedure does not end there. For hygienic purposes and to reduce psychological discomfort, the area of the genitals, perineum and anus should be thoroughly washed with soap and water and dried with a towel.

Another requirement that facilitates rectal access to the prostate is to drink a large amount of water (about 1 liter) 30-40 minutes before the massage session. As we remember, the prostate gland is located under the bladder. If you fill it, the prostate will drop a little and will be pressed against the rectum, which will facilitate the massage of the organ.

In addition, the inflammatory process in the prostate is always accompanied by the proliferation of pathogenic and opportunistic microflora, and stimulation of the prostate gland will promote its removal into the urethra, which is a common channel for both seminal fluid and urine. Thus, the act of urination after a massage procedure will promote the removal of pathogens from the urethra, where they can also provoke inflammation.

These 2 requirements are relevant for both manual and hardware massage. By the way, the latter can be successfully performed at home even without outside help, if the man is embarrassed by the very fact that someone else's finger will penetrate his anus.

An experienced doctor performs a prostate massage in sterile medical gloves, lubricating the working finger with Vaseline or using other means for prostate massage. The patient, on the recommendation of the doctor, has the right to choose which means will be more accessible and effective for him. And even if a man plans to perform the massage procedure on his own at home, the choice of the necessary means for this should be discussed with the attending physician.

The fact is that lubricant, ointment, oil, gel for prostate massage can have completely different effects. Thus, "Vaseline" as the most budgetary and simple representative of lubricants, facilitates the insertion of a finger into the rectum and somewhat reduces the discomfort from the massage itself, but it does not have a therapeutic effect. That is, its use is of little relevance for prostatitis, although it is enough to increase potency. [ 7 ]

For the treatment of male inflammatory diseases, drug therapy comes to the fore. And to combine massage and drug treatment, it is better to use drugs that have healing effects:

• relieve inflammation,
• have a warming effect, due to which the blood supply to the organ and metabolism in it improves, which in turn promotes the restoration of tissues affected by the disease.
• effectively combat the microbial component (being absorbed in the intestine, the active substances of such drugs have both local and systemic effects),
• reduce pain.

For example, "Heparin ointment" removes inflammation, improves microcirculation in the affected area, reduces pain in chronic prostatitis. But since it does not contain an antibacterial component, it is advisable to use it in the non-infectious form of the disease.

"Zinc ointment" is generally useful for the male reproductive system. In addition, it promotes the regeneration of glandular tissue, improves local immunity, and stops inflammatory processes in the intestines and prostate. This remedy is relevant for massage both in case of inflammation of the prostate and in case of its benign tumor (adenoma).

"Finalgon" is a product with a warming effect, which helps reduce inflammation symptoms and pain, and improves blood circulation in the diseased organ. This ointment is suitable for massage in case of non-infectious prostatitis.

"Methyluracil ointment" is a universal medicine that can be used for both acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate. However, in acute prostatitis, when massage procedures are prohibited, the ointment is used only externally or rectal suppositories with methyluracil are used. Preparations with this name stimulate tissue regeneration of the diseased organ, reduce inflammation, and have some analgesic effect. In addition, thanks to them, local immunity increases, which is a preventive measure against relapse of the disease.

If chronic prostatitis is infectious, the doctor may recommend the antibacterial ointment "Levomekol".

Among the gel-based and cream-based medicinal products, such preparations as Traumeel, Ekado cream-lubricant for intimate hygiene, and Zdorov bee cream-wax (suitable for those who are not allergic to bee products) have gained popularity in massage procedures. All these products have a good anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect.

As for oils, the most suitable for prostate massage are sea buckthorn, mustard and peach oil, pumpkin seed oil, as well as pharmaceutical preparations (lanolin and castor oil). All of them soften the movements inside the rectum, reducing the discomfort caused by the procedure, have a healing effect on the tissues of the intestine and prostate gland. Oils can be mixed with each other, adding ethers that have an antiseptic and soothing effect.

As we can see, the choice of auxiliary means for prostate massage is quite sufficient, but their choice should be taken responsibly. For example, you should not use antibacterial ointments if the disease is non-infectious in nature, because such treatment can disrupt the balance of intestinal microflora, where the medicine gets first. And this is dysbacteriosis, stool disorders, deterioration in the absorption of nutrients and anemia.

The set of measures for preparing for prostate massage also includes a psychological attitude to such a delicate procedure. The doctor should explain to the patient what the massage consists of and what are its benefits, what types of procedures exist and what position the man will have to take during the massage. This is very important so that there are no misunderstandings and scandals later.

Together with the doctor, the patient should discuss various possibilities and techniques of massage and choose the most suitable ones. Not every man can overcome his own pride and prejudices and agree to a professional massage, but the first procedures should still be entrusted to a specialist who will tell you how to properly perform a massage at home.

Technique prostate massage

Prostate massage is a procedure that requires a man to make certain psychological efforts, especially when it comes to direct massage, which involves transrectal access. The very position for the effective procedure leaves many people stupefied.

The most suitable and frequently practiced is the knee-elbow position, when the front part of the body is located slightly lower than the back. In this case, access to the anus and insertion of a finger into the rectum is easier, and the pelvic floor muscles are maximally relaxed.

In some cases, the position is simplified by asking the patient to simply bend over so that the torso remains horizontal during the procedure. For convenience, the patient can rest his hands on the table or couch.

The third option is the position a person takes when giving an enema, i.e. lying on his side with his knees bent to his chest. In this case, however, the man will have to strain himself to relax the pelvic muscles, which is very important for the correct procedure and prevents pain.

If a man is doing a prostate massage on his own at home, the most comfortable position is considered to be squatting. Although even more comfortable is the position of lying in the bathtub with legs thrown over the sides, which facilitates access to the anus and insertion of a finger into it.

The above-mentioned poses are ideal for both manual and machine massage. They are used for both internal (transrectal) massage and external manipulations in connection with prostate diseases.

There are the following methods of prostate massage:

• digital rectal massage (also known as direct massage, most often used by doctors to treat diseases of the male reproductive system),
• transrectal hardware massage using special devices and tools,
• hydromassage,
• external (indirect) massage, which does not involve penetration into the patient's body and involves working with massage movements on the lower abdomen (the suprapubic area near the navel), the lumbosacral region (stroking movements across the back from the lower back to the coccyx), the area between the anus and the scrotum (perineal massage).

Now let's look at how to properly massage the prostate, based on how specialists do it.

Prostate massage with a finger. After the man has taken the position suggested by the doctor, the doctor inserts a finger covered with lubricant into the anus, feels the prostate (in the form of a tubercle), located approximately 4-5 cm deep, and gently massages the gland through the intestinal wall with circular movements. It is very important that the patient can relax the pelvic muscles well and not interfere with the doctor's movements.

The prostate gland is an unpaired organ, but it has 2 halves (lobes) separated by a central groove. The doctor first massages one lobe of the organ, moving from its distal part to the center, then moves to the second, acting similarly, and finishes with pressure along the central groove.

In this way, the entire organ is worked out, which begins to actively expel stagnant secretions and bacterial components into the urethra. The beginning of the massage procedure should ideally coincide with the first slight urge to urinate, which should be restrained so that at the end of the massage the man goes to the toilet and removes from the genitourinary system all unnecessary things that have accumulated in the prostate gland.

Indicators of the effectiveness of the prostate massage procedure are considered to be discharge from the urethra, which should appear in separate drops (4-5 drops). This is evidence that the organ is being cleansed and congestion is eliminated.

How long does a prostate massage with a finger take and how long will a man have to endure such “violence”? The duration of one procedure is short – 2-3 minutes (about 1 minute is spent on massaging each lobe of the prostate gland). The first procedure can last longer (about 4-5 minutes), since first the doctor conducts a finger diagnosis of the organ (assessment of its shape, location, size), and then proceeds directly to the massage. So it is safe to say that a man worries about the procedure longer than it takes to carry it out.

Now let's move on to the question of how often prostate massage is needed? In most cases, doctors are inclined to believe that massage procedures should be done daily. But it happens that massage sessions are prescribed at slightly longer intervals - every other day. In any case, the frequency of procedures, as well as their number, are determined by the doctor.

It is safe to say that a single procedure can only temporarily increase potency, but one should not expect any noticeable therapeutic effect from it. Usually, prostate massage is prescribed in courses of 10-15 procedures with the possibility of repetition after some time.

It is very important that the massage movements are soft and not too intense, so as not to worsen the condition of the inflamed organ. The massage should not be accompanied by pain under any circumstances. In this case, the procedure will have to be stopped.

If the patient wishes to perform the procedure independently at home, he will need to cut and file the nails on the working fingers short (usually the finger gets tired and has to be replaced with another, which should also be foreseen in advance). Nail correction is necessary not only because they can tear gloves (and it is advisable to use them in any case if the massage is performed through the rectum). Long and sharp nails with hangnails can damage the intestinal mucosa, which will lead to its inflammation. Such a massage can be especially painful.

Hardware massage. This procedure is carried out similarly to the previous one, but instead of a finger, the working tool is a special device for prostate massage, which also needs to be inserted through the anus. Although some models of devices can perform external non-invasive action (for example, the Intraton device, which performs electrical stimulation of the prostate through the skin) or prostate massage through the urethra.

There are several types of devices that are used to stimulate the prostate through the rectum:

• Physiotherapeutic device of Russian production "Mavit", providing 3 types of impact on the diseased organ: heat, magnetic field, vibration. The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes. The course of treatment is from 7 to 9 daily procedures.
• Its Ukrainian analogue is "Prostam", which is more than 2 times cheaper.
• The popular Ereton device, manufactured in Russia, which has a therapeutic effect on the prostate using a constant magnetic field, pulsed electric current and low-frequency vibration. All of the above effects can be used both together and separately. The course of treatment with the device is 12 daily sessions, the duration of which gradually increases from 5 to 12 minutes. It is recommended to repeat the courses at intervals of at least 1.5 months, although the therapeutic effect lasts for six months.
• Magnetic vacuum device "Apollo". Its first versions were developed and released back in the days of the Soviet Union. The device was subsequently modernized. It carries out physiotherapeutic effects on the prostate through the urethra, which must be placed in the nozzle opening. Therapeutic factors are: negative pressure, which increases blood flow to the tissues, pulsed magnetic field and infrared radiation. The duration of the procedure is about 20 minutes, during which the effect is carried out according to several programs. The course of treatment should be discussed with the attending physician.

There are other types of prostate massage devices, many of which are manufactured abroad and are more expensive. But it must be said that domestic devices are in no way inferior to imported analogues in terms of treatment effectiveness, providing both mechanical and physiotherapeutic effects.

By the way, many doctors agree that prostate massage without physiotherapy does not have a visible therapeutic effect. Moreover, doctors abroad have long ago abandoned massage procedures in the treatment of diseases of the male genital area, replacing them with the impact of physical forces. They believe that physiotherapy is much more effective and safer in the treatment of prostatitis and other pathologies of the prostate gland.

Prostate massage devices can be used both at home and in outpatient (or inpatient) settings. But when choosing a device for home use, many patients tend to choose portable vibrators used rectally and consisting of a block and a special attachment that is inserted into the rectum. Such devices are more affordable and quite convenient. They can be used both with an assistant (for example, with a wife) and independently.

Prostate massage with a vibrator is, of course, not as effective and pleasant as rectal massage performed by a loved one using a finger. But at the same time, it is a good replacement for the procedure performed by a doctor, which most men are extremely negative about, preferring to endure pain and discomfort further.

There is another type of massager – strap-ons. These are the so-called dildos that are attached to the partner’s pelvic area and are used both for prostate massage and in sexual games. However, doctors question the effectiveness and safety of using such devices, given that they do not have a comprehensive effect on the prostate, massaging it only along the groove, and it is difficult to control the intensity of the massage movements. In addition, carried away by adult games, partners often forget that rectal massage has serious contraindications.

Hydromassage. This procedure is suitable for those who categorically do not want to undergo massage in a hospital setting and are extremely negative about the traditional types of prostate massage described above. Hydromassage consists of two consecutive enemas. The first of them is cleansing, the second is massage.

First, do a cleansing enema. Introduce 200 ml of boiled water at a temperature of about 37 degrees into the previously cleaned anus and wait until the urge to defecate appears. Empty the intestines, wash the anus and perineum with soap, then introduce about 800 ml of boiled water into the rectum (for prostatitis, it is better to take a chamomile decoction, which has an anti-inflammatory effect).

The urge to defecate will appear even earlier than the first time, however, the man will need to hold them for a quarter of an hour, trying not to sit or lie down, but to walk, move. The overfilled intestines will press on the prostate, thereby implementing a kind of mass. And the movement will help to ensure that the pressure is not constant, but pulsating.

Despite its apparent simplicity, this method has its drawbacks. Firstly, it is not the most pleasant sensation during the procedure, when you have to hold back the urge with all your might. Sometimes it is even painful. Secondly, after several such daily procedures, the intestinal microflora can be noticeably disrupted, because enemas wash out beneficial bacteria from it.

As for the effectiveness of hydromassage, it is a softer and more gentle procedure, which is more suitable for prevention than for eliminating congestion.

External massage. This is a massage procedure that is familiar to many, which is designed to improve blood circulation and lymph flow in the pelvic organs. External or indirect massage in itself is not considered an effective treatment procedure for prostate diseases. In this case, it is prescribed in parallel with rectal forms of massage and urethral massage as a method that stabilizes the condition and functioning of the entire reproductive system of a man as a whole by improving tissue nutrition and breathing.

As a preventative measure against impotence and infertility, indirect prostate massage can also be used as an independent method.

Prostate massage to increase potency. Now we will briefly touch on the topic of interest to many men - Thai massage and its impact on prostate health. It was already mentioned above that the problem of maintaining male potency by massaging the prostate gland is actively mentioned in connection with the countries of the East, including China, India, Taiwan, Tibet, Thailand, etc. Subsequently, a system began to form that allows, by influencing individual parts of the body, to improve the condition and functioning of various human organs.

Thai massage, which originates in Thailand, is a special method of point healing impact. General Thai massage involves close contact with the patient, when various parts of the hands (thumbs, wrists, palms, elbows, forearms), feet, knees and special devices are used to influence sensitive points. Royal Thai massage is a procedure in which the bodies of the masseur and the patient are at a distance of 1 foot, and the impact is carried out only by the thumbs and occasionally the outer side of the wrist.

Both general and royal massages are an impact on biologically active points located along the lines of vital energy, and since different points are responsible for the condition of different organs, by performing massage according to a certain pattern, you can achieve an improvement in the condition of the prostate, stomach and other important organs of the human body.

Impact on biologically active points to improve men's health is a combination of therapeutic and erotic massage. For example, to increase sexual desire (libido), you need to press with your thumb for 2 seconds on a point located 1.5 cm further from the wrist bone, repeating the procedure 10 times in a row.

But the point that increases potency is located in the center of the heel. The effect on it is carried out according to the same principle, but somewhat stronger.

Despite the apparent simplicity of the effect, its incorrect implementation can harm a man's health, so Thai massage should be performed by a specialist. Combining Thai massage with prostate massage, which can be done independently or with the help of a partner, you can significantly increase male potency and maintain it for many years. To strengthen and prolong an erection, you can add a massage of the pubic bone to these methods (with your palms placed on the pubic area, you need to make semicircular movements counterclockwise 36 times) and other methods of stimulating sexual arousal. It is believed that if prostate massage is combined with blowjob and similar methods of achieving the highest pleasure, then a man's orgasm can reach incredible heights.

Japanese massage, which is mastered to perfection by specially trained girls – geishas, has a similar effect on the male body. In fact, we are talking about erotic massage, designed not only to increase sexual arousal, but also to monitor male health.

This type of massage is based on admiration of the partner's body, otherwise the impact will not have the desired results. The massage begins with the impact on the biologically active points of the back, because this organ experiences the highest loads during the day, so it requires relaxation first of all. Then a relaxing massage is performed for the neck, arms and legs, paying special attention to the biologically active points.

When the man is completely relaxed and ready to receive pleasure, the geishas begin to massage the erogenous zones and genitals. Japanese geisha massage, at the client's request, also includes a prostate massage, which helps to increase potency.

In theory, it would be easy for a loving woman to repeat the erotic massage of Japanese geishas for her man. These unique sexual games bring great pleasure to both partners, and with regular practice they help maintain male strength and health.

Preventive prostate massage, which can become an element of sexual games, does not necessarily have to be done daily. With irregular sex and a sedentary lifestyle, it is enough to resort to it 1-2 times a week to maintain prostate activity. If a man has a regular sex life and moderate or high physical activity, then he does not have to worry much about his health, and prostate massage can be practiced simply to enhance the pleasure of sexual intercourse.

Contraindications to the procedure

In many countries abroad, doctors have refused to perform prostate massage, considering this treatment procedure not only ineffective, but also unsafe. Scientists have even conducted special studies that have not confirmed that such an effect has a therapeutic effect.

But in contrast to their results, there is a lot of evidence of the beneficial effects of prostate massage on men's health, so our doctors are in no hurry to give it up. Another thing is that the procedure really does have serious contraindications, and men are not always in a hurry to share their troubles with a doctor and undergo a full examination, practicing home massage, which in some situations can cause serious harm.

In what cases is prostate massage contraindicated:

• In any acute pathologies of the male reproductive system or exacerbation of chronic ones, when increased blood circulation will contribute to the spread of infection throughout the body. It is necessary to understand that acute conditions are always provoked by the penetration of pathogenic microflora or the activation of opportunistic microflora, which was in an inactive state in the body, but did not manifest itself in any way.
• For any systemic infectious diseases (for the same reason, because our circulatory system is common to all organs).
• At elevated body temperature (firstly, this may be a reaction to the introduction of an infection into the body, secondly, the activation of blood circulation will contribute to a further rise in the thermometer column).
• For prostate cancer (massage not only increases blood circulation, but also stimulates the outflow of lymph from the affected organ, and along with it, cancer cells can circulate throughout the body, forming metastases).
• In case of prostate adenoma, if the tumor has already reached a decent size. In the initial stage of the pathology, massage will improve tissue trophism and promote tumor resorption, but later the process may have the opposite effect (and there is even some risk of tumor degeneration into malignant).
• In acute urination disorder. Massage involves stimulation of the prostate and removal of bacterial components from it, which after the procedure should be removed with urine. If this does not happen, there is a high risk of developing bacterial inflammation in other organs of the genitourinary system.
• In case of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammation of the rectum and some other serious intestinal diseases, only direct prostate massage (finger, hardware, hydromassage) is prohibited.
• In the presence of stones in the prostate, when stimulation of the release of prostatic secretions can be accompanied by extremely painful and traumatic expulsion of stones.

Representatives of the stronger sex tend to hide their illnesses, especially those that affect their self-esteem as a man and lover. But prostate massage without taking into account the pathologies included in the list of contraindications cannot be considered a therapeutic and preventive procedure, since such manipulations will only worsen the patient's condition.

Consequences after the procedure

Any man can perform a prostate massage independently at home or with the help of a partner. And if these are preventive manipulations that are carried out in the absence of pathologies listed in the contraindications to massage and chronic inflammatory diseases of the prostate, then they usually do no harm. The main thing is not to overdo it, then the massage will be accompanied only by pleasant sensations and increase potency.

Erotic (aka preventive) massage brings maximum pleasure when it is performed by a beloved woman, and there is nothing shameful if a partner helps her husband or lover not only achieve a strong orgasm, but also improve the functioning of the man's reproductive system as a whole.

But if we are talking about prostatitis or any other disease accompanied by a painful increase in the size of the organ, active therapeutic prostate massage will be accompanied by discomfort and pain. Let's try to figure out what the sensations should actually be during and after a prostate massage.

If all contraindications are taken into account, the force and intensity of the impact on the organ are calculated correctly, the patient is psychologically prepared for the procedure, it should not cause any discomfort. External massage is usually accompanied only by pleasant sensations, which is evidence of its correct implementation.

But with direct massage things are not always smooth. Most often, the cause of unpleasant sensations during the insertion of a finger or the device nozzle into the anus is tension in the pelvic muscles. To avoid this, patients are advised to relax, which not everyone can do due to fear or hostility to the procedure.

During a therapeutic prostate massage, painful sensations may be associated with the inept actions of the person performing the massage (an inexperienced massage therapist, a sexual partner, or the patient himself), too much pressure on the inflamed organ, or existing concomitant diseases (for example, cystitis or colitis). Pain during the procedure is an indicator that it is being performed incorrectly or that some pathologies have not been taken into account. If such sensations occur, the massage should be stopped and, if necessary, additional examinations should be performed.

To minimize discomfort during the procedure, it is recommended to gradually increase the intensity of the impact from procedure to procedure. Before inserting a finger or a vibrator attachment into the anus, it is worth doing a relaxing massage of the anus and perineum to relieve tension in the muscles of the sphincter of the rectum.

Complaints about the prostate hurting after a massage happen quite often. And this is not surprising, because there was a mechanical impact on the inflamed organ, which subsequently causes pain, which should pass within a few hours, after which the man will feel much better.

In addition to pain, other symptoms may appear, such as burning in the urethra, problems with urination and potency. All such symptoms should pass within 3-4 hours, but if they are observed even the next day, a specialist consultation is necessary, since such a situation may indicate the development of complications (for example, exacerbation of prostatitis).

Discharge during prostate massage should not frighten a man, because the organ responsible for ejaculation is stimulated. It is not surprising that manipulations will be accompanied by the release of sperm. On the contrary, this indicates the effectiveness of the fight against congestion.

But there is one small nuance. If the discharge is translucent with a white tint, then everything is normal. But the appearance of droplets of yellow or greenish liquid is evidence of a purulent process provoked by a bacterial infection. In this case, you must definitely consult a doctor who will conduct appropriate tests of the secreted secretion and prescribe an effective course of antibiotic therapy.

Complications after massage are usually discussed in cases where contraindications to the procedure were not taken into account. An experienced doctor in these cases will not even take on the job, but the patients themselves, practicing home massage, do not often think about the consequences.

What can replace prostate massage?

Most episodes of disease development, for the treatment of which prostate massage is used, are associated with congestion in the pelvic area, provoked by the patient's low motor activity. It turns out that if you start moving more actively and stabilize your sex life, congestion can be gradually eliminated.

It is clear that by using prostate massage, you can achieve the desired result much faster. Another thing is that not everyone is ready for the procedure of "violence", which involves penetration into the anus. Direct massage, of course, can be replaced by indirect, but the effectiveness of the treatment will be lower and the effect will come later.

If you massage the perineum, which even geishas do, you can enhance the effect by using improvised means (for example, a tennis ball). Place the ball on a soft seat and sit on it, rocking your body. Alternatively, you can simply pump the ball along the perineum from the anus to the scrotum, adjusting the pressure with your hands.

This massage is good to combine with active movements during the day. This can be running, fast walking, cycling or exercise bike riding. Why is this necessary? To stimulate blood circulation in the pelvis, eliminate blood stagnation in the veins, improve metabolic processes in the tissues of the organs.

But since we use movement not for preventive but for therapeutic purposes, it is very important to ensure that walking is fast and long (about 3 kilometers per approach). You also need to exercise on a stationary bike or ride a bicycle for at least 1 hour a day.

Now let's look at what exercises can be used to replace prostate massage:

• In a standing position, try to draw the anus inward, alternating tension and relaxation of the muscles. You can supplement the exercise with tension of the buttock muscles. Perform the draw-ins at least 20 times.
• The "scissors" exercise, which consists of alternately crossing the legs raised above the surface, also works well. Lying on your back, it is often performed by women to strengthen the pelvic muscles, and for men it will come in handy to stimulate the prostate. Moreover, the weaker sex is recommended to do it both lying on your back and lying on your stomach, starting with 5-8 times and bringing it up to 20 times per approach.
• Lying on your back, you can also do another useful exercise – the “bicycle”. Any self-respecting man can repeat it 20 or more times.
• One of the simplest exercises to improve prostate function is considered to be regular walking up the stairs. Those who can do it can walk, stepping over one or more steps. This is a universal exercise that will not only increase the tone of the prostate and eliminate congestion, but will also help strengthen the health of other organs and systems of the body, increase physical endurance, i.e. make a man stronger in all respects.

The above exercises are great for both prevention and treatment of the prostate. But in the latter case, it is still worth consulting a doctor who will help create a safe and effective exercise therapy complex for a specific disease.

Prostate Massage Reviews

Prostate massage is an effective and efficient procedure that improves the results of drug treatment, quickly eliminates symptoms of congestion and inflammation, and can be used both to treat male diseases and to prevent them. Doctors resort to such manipulations quite often, but there are not many reviews from patients about the results of the procedures on the Internet.

The reason for this state of affairs is the reluctance of men to talk about such delicate problems and ways to solve them. Few are ready to share with the whole world that they have problems with erection or are tormented by prostatitis. Most often, caring wives force men to see a doctor, who, by the way, are much more willing to share the results of treatment.

Those few men who left their feedback on prostate massage, did it in a medical institution and were satisfied with the quick solution to men's problems, in connection with which the massage was prescribed. But information about massage performed independently at home is a great rarity (how can you tell about such a thing?), and it is not a fact that they are plausible.

Women actively share the benefits that prostate massage has brought to their lovers, helping to restore sexual activity and eliminating pain and discomfort during urination. And they especially thoroughly savor the topic of erotic massage, which combines prostate massage and stimulation of the penis. They do not even have enough words to describe the sensations of men, although the men themselves share such details only with friends over a beer.

In general, negative reviews about prostate massage are rather an exception to the rule and are associated with unprofessional performance of the procedure, which caused the appearance of extremely unpleasant and painful sensations. No one is in a hurry to talk about their mistakes, so complaints usually go to the doctor.

Prostate massage is a therapeutic and preventive method, the attitude to which may vary. Opinions range from extremely negative due to the rejection of the very idea of rectal access to the organ and unpleasant sensations after the procedure to enthusiastic, associated with the quick possibility of solving men's problems. It is necessary to understand that without the patient's desire, the doctor cannot insist on the procedure, and the man has the right to decide for himself whether he needs it or not, to limit himself to drug treatment or to strengthen it with physiotherapy and massage procedures, and, if desired, to continue to use the experience gained to maintain his male health.
