Prostate massage is a therapy in which the doctor, or specialized therapist, stimulates the prostate to expel fluids into the prostate channels. The prostate is a small gland, the size of a chestnut, which is located just below the bladder and which produces an important liquid for the composition of sperm.
Since it is not possible to directly access the prostate, massage needs to be done through the anus, as it is possible to feel the gland walls through the final portion of the intestine.
Although there is still no medical consensus on the benefits of prostate massage, it is possible that it will help:
1. Avoid painful ejaculation
Some men may experience a lot of pain when they ejaculate or shortly after they ejaculate, and this can happen due to the accumulation of fluid in the seminal channels after the passage of sperm. With prostate massage, it is possible to create a very intense orgasm that helps to eliminate the remains of liquid present in the channels, relieving pain.
2. Improve sexual impotence
Since the prostate is a very sensitive gland, when it is stimulated it can cause a significant increase in pleasure waves during intimate contact. This stimulation may thus be able to allow men to initiate and maintain an erection more easily.
Often, prostatic massage can be combined with other conventional treatments to obtain better results against sexual impotence. Find out what forms of treatment are most used for this problem.
3. Reduce inflammation of the prostate
Inflammation of the prostate, also known as prostatitis, can be relieved with prostate massage because through this technique it is possible to increase blood circulation at the site, reducing gland congestion and relieving the inflammation and pain of chronic prostatitis.
4. Facilitate the flow of urine
For urine to be eliminated from the body, it needs to pass through the urethra, which is a small channel that passes inside the prostate. Thus, if the man has difficulty urinating due to inflammation of the prostate, massage can improve circulation and decrease local inflammation, releasing the urethra and facilitating the passage of urine.
5. Prevent prostate cancer
By improving blood circulation and alleviating chronic inflammation of the prostate, massage can help reduce the risk of developing cancer or other less serious problems such as hypertrophy. In addition, prostatic massage allows a constant assessment of the gland, which can help to identify early cases of cancer, facilitating tetamento and improving the chances of cure.
How the massage is done
Prostate stimulation can be done with the fingers and, for this, the doctor puts on gloves and lubricant to reduce discomfort and pain. It can also be performed using special equipment, designed to more easily reach the prostate.
What are the main risks
The main risks of this type of massage are related to excessive stimulation of the prostate, which can cause worsening of symptoms, the appearance of new problems in the prostate and hemorrhage due to rupture of the intestine.
Therefore, it is recommended that the prostatic massage be done by a health professional specialized in the area, to avoid complications. In some cases, the doctor may teach the man or another person to do the stimulation at home, as happens before intimate contact, in cases of sexual impotence, for example.
