Self-massage of the prostate with a finger: the subtleties of such an intimate procedure. Not very pleasant, but effective: medical prostate massage for men and the subtleties of its implementation

An increasing number of men prefer to massage the prostate at home, although the procedure is not easy. This is explained most of all by psychological, rather than physical, discomfort during the massage procedure at an appointment with a urologist.

Proper massage helps the gland get rid of excess secretion, activating the tissue. Regular independent procedures improve the functioning of the genital organs and overall well-being, making the patient’s psychological state stable. It’s not difficult to learn how to do a massage yourself; you just need a little patience, find a number of thematic photos and videos, as well as a device that will help you improve your prostate massage technique at home.

To properly self-massage the male gland, you need to understand where it is anatomically located and how to reach it.

What is the essence of manipulation?

How to properly massage the prostate? If a man wants to massage himself, this question is best answered by a doctor. If going to a specialist is not discussed, then you can refer to photo diagrams or watch a video tutorial on the Internet. The main condition for self-massage of the prostate is minimum harm, more benefit.

When performing home transrectal massage, it is important to consider: the posture should change during the manipulations. This is necessary so that the prostate gland is “smoothed” from all sides.

It is best for a doctor to massage the male gland, as he will be able to do it at a professional level.

How to “get” the prostate, practical tips:

• Knee-elbow position.
• Bend on a special table with support from your elbows and arching your back.
• Lying on your right side, knees as close to your body as possible.

These three sequentially repeated massage positions allow you to “reach” the lateral lobes of the prostate and its central part. Prostate massage at home begins with light stroking, methodically, without missing a centimeter. Every day the intensity of the massage increases, the duration is from a minute to 1.5 minutes, the optimal course is 10-14 days, daily or every other day.

When carrying out any anal procedures, a special lubricating cream is used to relieve pain.

Preparation stages

How to do a prostate massage yourself and do you need to prepare for it? The question is rhetorical, it is difficult to carry out anal massage on your own, but it is possible. But you have to prepare! To do this, in addition to the psychological attitude, you will need to do the following:

• Point one: study the theory, for which you can download a photo or video lesson and remember the entire sequence of actions. This should not be neglected, since the lack of theoretical knowledge and massage “at random” will not bring results at best, and will add complications at worst.

• Point two: enema. Cleaning the rectum before the procedure is a must. You can do it yourself using an Esmarch mug; the second stage will be the introduction of a decoction of chamomile (200-400 ml) into the intestines. The warm decoction should be administered 20-30 minutes after the cleansing enema and lie with it inside for half an hour. It is important that the liquid slightly presses on the walls of the rectum and causes a slight urge to defecate.

To prevent involuntary defecation during anal procedures, an enema is initially performed.

• Point three: massage the prostate with your own hands or the hands of a loved one to whom a man can entrust such intimate actions. Nails must be trimmed and medical gloves must be worn. It is recommended to drink water 20-30 minutes in advance to empty your bladder immediately after the massage. This will remove all the products of the inflammatory process in the prostate.

In order for a massage performed by yourself to be as effective as possible, you can relax for a few minutes before it, lying in a warm bath.

Types of manipulations

Self-administered massage comes in three versions, each of which has only benefits.

You can do it yourself:

1. Indirect massage, or “chauffeur exercises”. One of the simple types of massage, which is carried out independently, not only at home, but also while traveling in a car (minibus), waiting in line, or while simply relaxing on a bench in the park. You just need to squeeze and unclench the muscles of the anus 100-300 times.
2. Direct massage. It is achieved by inserting a finger into the rectum. It is quite difficult to do on your own; you may need to hire an assistant. Before performing a massage at home, it is important to undergo an examination and consult a doctor. Prostate massage with a finger cannot be performed in case of acute inflammation or malignant tumors, the presence of which the man himself may not even be aware of, thereby causing harm to his body.

Photo No. 5. Direct massage

During self-massage of the male gland, the most difficult thing is to reach it with your finger and then perform the correct movements with it.

3. Anal hydromassage with chamomile. It is carried out on a cleaned rectum (enema), with a warm decoction. The essence of the massage is the effect of liquid on the mucous membrane, its irritation and dilation of blood vessels. You can watch how to massage the prostate using a healing decoction in a thematic video or study the sequence of execution in the photo.

It will be useful for a man to do anal hydromassage twice a week a couple of hours before bedtime. It is difficult to cause harm on your own; reviews of hydromassage are positive, and in addition, chamomile perfectly relieves any inflammation.

Execution technique

Is prostate massage beneficial and how often can you do it? Both men to whom it is indicated and their partners, who often act as assistants during prostate massage performed at home, think about this question.

Video No. 2.

How frequent anal massage should be, like any other, is decided by the doctor, based on the course of the disease and the presence of concomitant pathologies. Typically, massage sessions (7-10 pieces) should be daily for no more than 2 minutes. Taking longer is not beneficial, but harmful, as it can aggravate the inflammatory process.

Valid options:

• In the bathroom. You can do a massage with your own hands in the bathroom, lying on your back and throwing your legs up on the sides, this gives full access to the rectum. The middle (index) finger in a medical glove is inserted into the anal passage 4-5 cm. It is at this level that the prostate is located, in this position it can be felt at the top. Carefully, in a circular motion, so as not to harm yourself, stroke upward towards the scrotum. It is important to watch for a few drops of prostate juice to appear on the head of the penis; this indicates that the prostate massage with your finger is performed correctly.

In addition to independent procedures at home, it is recommended to massage the lumbosacral region a couple of times a week. It helps improve blood flow in the pelvic area and reduces the risk of developing acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic prostate inflammation.

• At home in a standing position. To perform this manipulation, you will need an assistant. The man stands leaning on the table, legs straight. The partner first performs an anal massage to ensure easy penetration of the finger deeper. A finger in a medical glove and lubricated with Vaseline is inserted into the rectum and the tubercle is felt with a pad. It needs to be massaged delicately and slowly. With such an independent procedure, a man should not feel pain, but on the contrary, many experience a surge of excitement and ejaculation occurs.
• Lying on your side. A man can do a massage with his own hands, after first taking a position on his side and pulling his knees to his stomach. After anal massage, you must empty your bladder.
• In the “sitting on your knees” position. If there is no one to help or the man does not want to report such a delicate problem, he can massage the prostate with his own hands, on his own. Standing on your knees, crouching slightly, you need to insert a generously lubricated finger into the rectum and feel the “bump”. So you need to stroke it for 1-1.5 minutes, at this moment the prostate juice should come out in drops (4-5 drops) through the urethra.

In this way, you can do a massage at home and with your own (or an assistant’s) hands, free the prostate gland from stagnant juice and relieve the inflammatory process.

Photo No. 6. Indirect massage

Indirect massage of the male gland is not as effective as direct massage, but can be an alternative method if another method is not possible.

Indications and contraindications

Anal massage is therapeutic in nature if prostatitis has already been diagnosed. In any other case, it will be preventive, which is also important for maintaining the health of the prostate gland.

Indications:

• Bacterial and abacterial (chronic) prostatitis.
• Congestion in the prostate.
• Impotence.

With such forms of pathology, you can do the manipulation yourself at home, but with asymptomatic prostatitis or prostate adenoma, massage is done only in a medical institution under the supervision of a doctor and the control of laboratory tests.

Contraindications:

• The procedure is stopped if severe pain appears in the prostate area.
• Infectious prostatitis, acute form.
• Any infectious processes in the pelvic area.
• Stones and malignant processes in the prostate.
• Abscesses and hemorrhoids.
• Urinary retention.

All these pathologies are diagnosed during examination, which is why it is important, before doing an independent massage, to obtain a doctor’s consultation and “admission” to the procedure. Otherwise, massage may be not only inappropriate, but also dangerous.

Using aids

A massage procedure with a strap-on is an option for pleasure and benefit. It is quite difficult to use it with your own hands without involving a partner, since the anal device has some specificity.

For reference. Strap-on can be translated from English as “on a belt.” In everyday life it is usually called a dildo, with a length of 16 to 20 cm and a diameter of 3-4 cm. A strap-on can also be called a penile prosthesis; it is used more often for sexual games than for prostate massage procedures.

Photo No. 7. Strap-on (dildo)

If it is difficult to self-massage the male gland with your finger, then you can use a strap-on for this purpose.

Strapons can be bought at any intimate store; they are usually made of latex, plastic, rubber or silicone gel.

Hardware technique

The device, the use of which at home is sometimes simply necessary, will help get rid of congestion even more effectively than direct massage. There is no pain, the procedure itself lasts about five minutes.

The device will help achieve the following effects:

• Remove stagnant juice, which may contain pus or bacteria.

Almost all men begin to suffer from prostatitis with age. To avoid this inevitable illness, some men turn to their doctor for a preventive prostate massage. But it is much more pleasant for a man when such a massage is performed not by a doctor in rubber gloves, but by a loving wife. It is not difficult to learn how to properly massage the prostate so that it brings both pleasure and benefit.

Benefits of prostate massage in men

First, it’s worth understanding what the prostate is. This is a gland that produces a specific enzyme that is part of sperm. Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland. Due to this pathology, urination and erection are impaired. The disease is accompanied by pain during ejaculation.

Prostate massage helps:

• improve sexual activity;
• reduce or completely eliminate pain;
• improve blood supply to the prostate;
• relieve swelling and inflammation.

The effectiveness of prostate massage has been proven by many years of practice. If done professionally, it increases muscle tone in men, reduces inflammation, and helps avoid complications with existing prostatitis. Massage is used for both prevention and therapeutic purposes.

How to properly prepare for the procedure

Preparation for a massage is of great importance in order for the procedure to be more effective. This preparation does not require any medical education or special knowledge. The patient can do everything on his own without outside help.

Here's what you need to do:

• Cleansing enema. Approximately 200 grams of water cooled to body temperature is used. It is inserted into the anus using a rubber bulb, and the tip must first be lubricated with Vaseline.
• Drink enough fluid(about a liter of still water) approximately 40 minutes before the session, so that the bladder is full before the massage. When the bladder is full, it presses the prostate well against the rectum, and this makes it easier
• One hour before the procedure eat nothing.

Used for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

It is not recommended to do rectal prostate massage on your own, since, despite the apparent simplicity of this technique, it contains many nuances. Each patient is individual, and therefore prostate massage is performed based on his age, health status and the problem that prompted the massage. In addition, if rectal massage is performed by a specialist, this allows the doctor to monitor the dynamics of changes in the prostate gland and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.

If a man has been prescribed a prostate massage, then he should not refuse it for the benefit of his own health.

Types and preparation for the procedure

There are 2 types of prostate massage:

1. External. The method is that the effect on the prostate gland is from the outside.
2. Internal (rectal). It is performed through the patient's anus.

Prostate massage can be performed using fingers or a special mechanical device. According to numerous studies and observations of doctors, it is recommended to give preference to the rectal massage method, which is performed using the fingers.

Before giving a massage, a man does not need to prepare himself. If the massage is rectal, then before performing it you need to empty your bowels and carry out all hygiene procedures. The skin should be clean and dry.

To achieve positive results, a man must have a full bladder during a massage. Therefore, a few hours before the procedure, the patient is prohibited from urinating, and an hour before the massage, drink at least 1 liter of water.

This is where all preparatory activities end.

External prostate massage

The prostate is located 2-3 cm below the base of the scrotum (towards the anus). To find the exact location of the prostate gland, you need to use your fingertips to draw from the beginning to the end of the perineal line. In the place where there is a small depression, there will be. The prostate gland itself is convex upon palpation, and is often compared to a walnut.

The specialist who will massage the prostate gland must wash their hands and cut their nails short. In addition, to achieve maximum safety, the procedure is carried out with gloves.

Stimulation is carried out with light and gentle circular movements. During the massage, a man should not experience pain. Its appearance is a sign that the procedure should be stopped.

Rectal method of therapy

During the procedure, the doctor must have clean hands wearing disposable medical gloves.

In order for the procedure to be performed correctly, the patient needs to take the appropriate body position. The knee-elbow position is considered optimal. But, depending on individual characteristics, another position can be chosen - lying on your side, with your knees pulled up to your chest, or standing, with your torso tilted forward.

Before inserting a finger into the anus, the doctor lubricates it with Vaseline or gel. This greatly simplifies the insertion process and does not create additional discomfort for the patient.

A finger is inserted into the anus to a depth of about 5 cm. The prostate gland is located on the side of the peritoneum and is a tubercle. The first thing the doctor does after reaching the prostate is palpation. Thus, the process of assessing her condition for the presence of various types of neoplasms, inflammatory processes and other things takes place. The first massage procedure must be carried out by a doctor, since as a result the doctor may discover the presence of contraindications, which will become a reason to cancel this method of treating prostate problems.

If the man does not have tumors or other pathological conditions that prohibit the procedure, the doctor begins to perform it.

The method of exposure consists of light pressure stroking the gland. 2 lobes (halves) of the gland are processed alternately, from top to bottom and from the edges to the middle. The final action is stroking the longitudinal groove of the prostate from top to bottom.

The duration of the procedure is about 2 minutes; the patient should not experience pain during the massage. The intensity of pressure is selected based on the condition of the gland and the individual sensitivity of the man. In most cases, the full course of treatment consists of 10 procedures. The procedure is performed every other day.

Prevention measures

Preventive prostate massage allows you to diagnose the condition of the prostate gland. In addition, the procedure allows you to:

• improve urine flow;
• prevents the development of infections, cleanses the prostate;
• improves blood circulation in the gland;
• reduces muscle tension and makes you feel better with prostatitis;
• promotes the outflow of accumulated seminal fluid;
• improves potency;
• prevents impotence.

Despite the short duration of the procedure, what prostate massage provides cannot be replaced by any other treatment methods.

Prostatitis, prostate adenoma are male diseases. Doctors state that in recent years there have been more and more men complaining of this ailment. What do these diseases mean? And how to help yourself?

Prostatitis and prostate adenoma - what is the difference?

Prostatitis is a disease that cannot be ignored. With this diagnosis, the prostate gland suffers. This organ becomes inflamed and swollen. The first unpleasant bell is painful urination. If the disease is neglected, over time it will lead to problems with erection and can provoke prostate adenoma. And this is the formation of a benign tumor.

Treatment is carried out using the following methods: surgery, drug treatment, physiotherapy and therapeutic exercises. Exercise for prostatitis and adenoma is very effective. The goal of this healing method is to improve the functioning of the prostate by increasing the flow of blood to this organ and saturating it with oxygen. Stagnant processes in the pelvic organs, lack of oxygen, inflammatory phenomena are the causes of malfunction of the prostate gland.

The benefits of physical therapy exercises

It has long been proven that healing with help is very effective in the fight against disease. Exercises aimed at a specific muscle group for the purpose of recovery are not only a good preventive measure, but also an effective tool in the fight against the disease itself.

Exercise for prostatitis helps relieve pain by increasing blood flow to the diseased organ. It is important to know that the treatment complex must be developed by a specialist, and classes should be started only after consultation with a doctor. For maximum results, it is very important to do all the exercises correctly, if possible under the supervision of a trainer.

What you need to know when performing an exercise for prostatitis

Physical therapy can greatly speed up recovery. You just have to keep in mind that doing the exercises is only part of the overall course of treatment. A correctly selected complex will eliminate exacerbations and protect against deterioration of the patient’s condition.

Even ordinary morning exercises, walks in the fresh air, running or swimming will have a beneficial effect on the body. It is only important to perform all exercises in doses, avoiding muscle overstrain.

During an exacerbation of chronic prostatitis, all exercise is prohibited. In this period should be replaced with relaxing procedures that are performed at rest.

How to start doing therapeutic exercises?

The very first thing is motivation, clear self-programming for recovery.

By deciding to exercise, you will take the first step towards health.

In order not to harm yourself, you should not rely only on the literature you have read; only a specialist should determine which exercise for prostatitis will be most effective for you.

Armed with certain knowledge, worry about the form for classes. It should be comfortable and not restrict your movements. To organize a space for charging, purchase a special mat on which you will exercise.

Exercise for prostatitis can be difficult to perform for an unprepared person. Move smoothly from simple to more complex. If you can’t do an exercise, leave it and don’t do it. Do what you are good at, increasing the load gradually.

An effective set of exercises for prostatitis

The main task of this complex is to eliminate congestion in the pelvic area.

So, the first exercise is to stand up straight and lower your arms, take a deep breath, strongly protruding your stomach. After a 20-second pause, the stomach is pulled in with force as you exhale. Having practiced, the exercise is performed not only while standing, but also in a sitting and lying position.

What exercises should you do for prostatitis to get the maximum effect? Jumping will be very effective. You need to jump high until you feel tired. You should try to do at least 100 jumps a day.

Turns and bends, well known from childhood, are also very effective in the fight against prostatitis. This exercise consists of turning in different directions. The final stage is bending in different directions. The exercise will be beneficial if you perform all the steps at least 100 times.

Walking on the buttocks is performed as follows: sitting on the floor and bending your legs in front of you, you just need to start moving. You should move without using your hands, with your back completely straight. Discomfort in the gluteal area is a sign that the exercise is being performed correctly.

It is important to breathe properly while charging. After a slow, deep breath through the nose, there must be a pause. After holding your breath for a short time, exhale the air through your mouth. The time between inhalation and exhalation should be gradually increased.

Additional exercises for health

Contracting the muscles of the anus is a great way to bring the pelvic organs in order. It would seem that there is nothing complicated. But still, for many, this particular exercise seems difficult due to weakened anal muscles. Try tensing and relaxing these muscles at least 30 times. Over time, you will definitely notice an improvement in your condition. Once trained, try to perform this exercise in cycles of 30 times several times a day. The advantage is that such physical exercise can be done discreetly in any environment, at a time convenient for you.

A contrast shower for the perineal area is also very useful, it perfectly relieves the sensation of pain by influencing the temperature of the water stream, you need to change it: first it should be hot water, the next stage is cool water. The procedure itself should last several minutes.

The muscle tension necessary for high-quality functioning of the prostate gland can be achieved during urinary retention. This procedure must be performed at every opportunity, deliberately stopping the act of urination by force of your muscles. This procedure very well improves blood supply to the prostate.

Perineal massage is one of the main methods of treatment

Massage is one of the most common healing methods. The only condition for such treatment is that the procedure must be carried out by a specialist, a urologist. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do this procedure correctly on your own, without certain knowledge.

There are two methods of massage: transrectal and external. In the first case, it is done through the rectum. In the second - through the perineal area, between the anus and the scrotum. Anatomical knowledge about the location of the prostate gland plays an important role here.

Exercises for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma will be beneficial only with regular exercise and strict adherence to all medical prescriptions.

Self-massage of the prostate is a fairly intimate procedure, which many men are very reluctant to undergo. However, it is unlikely that it will be possible to completely avoid it if the disease is already becoming serious. Self-massage of the prostate allows you to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms from the body and remove the toxic products of their activity. Thanks to self-massage of the glandular organ, secretions stagnant in the ducts are released, which helps to improve the patient’s condition.

It is worth noting that before you perform prostate massage at home yourself, you should undergo a little training. It is not recommended to carry out such manipulations without preparation by people who do not have medical training. To learn how to massage the prostate yourself, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the maximum amount of available information. In the office of a urologist, the patient will be able to receive all the necessary information in order to perform a prostate massage and not harm himself.

Types of massage for prostate diseases

In urology, the following procedure techniques are distinguished: working with a bougie or transrectal massage of the prostate to oneself.

The bougie is a special expander device.

Its administration is performed through the urethra, after which it becomes possible to massage the prostate gland at home, if it is possible to invite a specialist to your home.

This technique should be trusted to professionals, but if you want to massage the prostate gland yourself, you should refuse this option.

The instrument is not particularly convenient for independent use and can injure tissue near the prostate.

You can stimulate the prostate gland, without resorting to the services of professionals, externally, transrectally - by inserting a finger into the rectum, or by performing contractions of the perineal and sphincter muscles.

After gaining experience in performing the procedure, it is possible to perform prostate stimulation with your own hands using. The device is inserted into the anus, after which a targeted physical effect on the gland begins. The types of effects on the prostate gland can be listed as follows:

• Vibration;
• Thermal;
• Magnetic (field formation).

What types of massage are there?

Direct massage

Stimulation in this way helps to influence directly the nerve endings of the organ. When mechanically irritated, it releases a secretion substance that stagnates inside and becomes inflamed. Along with the outpouring of the substance, harmful microbes leave the body.

When performing a direct effect on the tissues of the organ, blood supply increases, due to which the erection significantly improves. Before carrying out the procedure, put sterile gloves on your hands and lubricate your fingers with Vaseline or other ointment. It is inserted into the rectum to a depth of 5 cm. Performing circular movements, apply pressure to the gland tissue.

Indirect types of procedure

1. External prostate massage performed manually. The effect is carried out through the skin, using the area between the scrotum and anus. Pressure is applied to the skin of the perineum. The movements should be circular, and extreme caution must be exercised when performing them. Massage of the testicles and scrotum has a good effect on the gland.
2. Rhythmic contractions of the muscles of the anus and perineum. When you inhale, the anal sphincter retracts, and when you exhale, the pelvic muscles unclench. 20-25 such contractions are performed at a time. To achieve a beneficial effect, such exercises should be performed in the morning and evening. The procedure has a good effect when performed in the early stages of prostate inflammation. It is also good to do these for prevention purposes.

Indications for massage

Those wondering how to safely perform prostate massage on themselves should consult with experts. Medical education is not necessary for this, but it is still worth learning. It is recommended to perform prostate massage with a finger yourself for the following problems:

1. Chronic pain in the pelvic area;
2. Prostatitis of a bacterial, non-bacterial nature;
3. Problems with potency, which are caused by disturbances in the functioning of the organ, inflammatory processes;
4. BPH;
5. Stagnation of secretions inside the organ.

Preparing for the massage procedure

Before massaging the prostate area, care must be taken to ensure that there are no undesirable consequences. Regardless of whether prostate massage is performed independently without penetration or any other type, certain rules should be applied.

To carry out a healing procedure, you must first empty your intestines.

This can be done naturally or using an enema with an antiseptic solution.

There is no need to empty the bladder - proper prostate massage should be performed when it is full. You can drink a liter of liquid, such as water, about an hour before the procedure. You do not need to eat anything for about a couple of hours before you are going to start performing an independent massage.

Is it possible to massage the gland on your own at home?

Patients, starting to massage the prostate themselves with a finger, understand how difficult it can be to immediately hit exactly the right point. To find out how to properly massage a man’s prostate on your own, you can get expert advice or a practical lesson.

The prostate treatment can be performed either on your own using a finger or in a doctor's office. If it is not possible to visit a massage therapist in the clinic, the patient’s wife can perform the procedure. Self-massage of the organ with your finger is not particularly convenient.

Correct massage technique

To perform a prostate massage with someone's help, the following technique is recommended:

• A patient with prostatitis lies on his back, with his legs spread wide.
• The health worker puts sterile gloves on his hands, lubricates the patient’s anus with Vaseline, and applies ointment to his own finger.
• A finger is inserted into the patient's rectum. With this position of the body, the prostate is located slightly above the rectum, next to the abdomen. When inserting a finger to its full length, the massage therapist will feel that the tip rests on a fibrous formation, shaped like a lump - this is it. When asked whether it is possible to massage the prostate yourself, the answer is usually that it is possible, although quite difficult.
• Massaging should begin gradually, performing light stroking. Do the same when performing self-massage of the prostate gland at home. If the patient does not feel discomfort, light pressure is applied to the organ. Finger movements are directed from the sides of the gland to its center. Squeezing movements are performed towards the anus.
• If you are going to massage the prostate yourself, you should be aware of when is the right time to end the procedure. Approximately 5 drops of liquid secretion should be released. The whole process will take about a minute and a half. The health of the organ can be judged by the state of the secretion. It is within normal limits if the discharge is whitish-transparent. If there are yellowish inclusions, this is purulent discharge. With an advanced inflammatory process or suppuration, the answer to the question of whether it is possible to perform a prostate massage on your own is no. You need to contact a specialist.
• After performing a prostate massage, you need to empty your bladder in the toilet. When urinating, glandular secretions flow out, as well as microbes along with traces of their activity. After direct or indirect massage of the prostate is performed on your own or with the help of a medical specialist, this area may still be slightly irritating for some time, as if reminding you of itself. A burning sensation in the urethra and difficulty urinating may be noted. If the discomfort goes away within a short time, this condition is considered normal. If pain, cutting sensations, or discomfort persist for a long time, or even intensify, you should stop massage sessions and immediately consult a doctor.

How often can you massage the prostate?

When calculating how to do procedures for an inflamed gland at home, it is worth establishing the intensity of movements. At the very beginning of the course it should be barely noticeable, gradually the pressure should be increased. The most common operating scheme is:

• When performing self-massage of the prostate, you should begin stroking the left and right parts of the organ;
• We gradually move to the central part of the gland;
• If you want to properly perform a prostate massage on yourself, increase the pressure with each subsequent procedure.

If the inflammation of the gland becomes chronic, internal or external prostate massage is carried out in courses, each of which includes 12-15 sessions.

The procedures are carried out in about a day.

It is worth emphasizing that regular daily stimulation of the organ is most effective.

Each self-administered prostate massage session takes approximately 90 seconds.

After completing the next massage course, you need to take a break for 10-14 days. Then you can continue to do self-massage of the prostate.

If the entire course of procedures is carried out correctly, the following changes may be noted in the patient’s condition:
