What does prostate massage do?

It is very necessary to do prostate massage regularly, because it can effectively prevent the occurrence of prostate diseases. After the occurrence of prostate disease, it will affect a man's normal life, not only affecting the urinary function, but also affecting a man's normal sexual function. However, when massaging the prostate, you also need to adopt the correct massage method. You can also learn about the role of prostate massage.

Prostate massage methods:

1. The patient takes the chest-knee position. The operator wears a rubber glove and applies lubricating paraffin oil to the index finger of his right hand. He gently massages the anus and then slowly inserts it into the rectum. After touching the prostate, the last knuckle of the index finger is facing the rectal surface of the prostate. The prostate is pressed from the outside to the top, inside to the bottom, that is, first press from both sides of the gland to the midline 3 to 4 times, and then squeeze out the prostatic fluid from the central groove from top to bottom to the external opening of the urethra.

Generally, massage is done 1 to 2 times a week. The massage technique should be "light and slow", and the patient should be asked about his/her feelings. Avoid rough, repeated and strong pressure to avoid unnecessary injuries. In addition, it is recommended that the patient urinate immediately after the massage, so that the inflammatory secretions accumulated in the urethra can be discharged with urine.

2. Self-massage: The patient squats or lies in the lateral flexion position, cleans the anus and lower rectum after defecation, and presses the prostate with his middle finger or index finger in the same way as before. Massage for 3 to 5 minutes each time, and it is best if prostate fluid is discharged from the urethra each time.

The force must be gentle during massage. You can use soapy water to lubricate the fingertips before massage to reduce discomfort. Each massage treatment should be at least 3 days apart. If you find obvious prostate tenderness and increased cystic sensation during self-massage, you should go to a specialist clinic in time to avoid prostate massage during acute attacks of chronic prostatitis.
