Are you having problems with your prostate? You’re not the only one.
The prostate is a gland wedged in the middle of the penis and the bladder. This gland secretes an alkaline fluid that protects the sperm from the vagina’s acidity when it enters the vaginal canal, allowing it to fertilize the egg. It’s about the size of a walnut, which is pretty small.
Would you believe that this tiny organ can cause so many problems when it starts to malfunction? And it doesn’t just affect older men, as most people think. Younger men can also experience difficulties with their prostate.
Prostate massage therapy can help reduce your risk of having prostate problems. It may even help boost your sexual and urinary health and even give you intense orgasm every day.
How Useful Is Prostate Massage Therapy?
When the prostate fails, it will have a hard time removing all the fluid that collects in this gland. This may cause prostatitis, an extremely painful condition, especially when urinating or ejaculating.
Symptoms of prostate problems include:
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Pain while urinating
- Weak urine stream
- Urinary incontinence
- Blood in semen or urine
- Painful ejaculation
Fortunately, something as simple as a prostate massage can clear the fluid from the prostatic ductules, helping relieve the pain and discomfort.
Benefits of Prostate Massage Therapy
Giving yourself regular prostate massages offers many benefits, such as the following.
Helps with Erection Problems
Extra fluid in the prostate can prevent you from getting a hard-on. These days, you can use modern technology for treating and managing erectile dysfunction (ED), such as medications and pumps. But back in the day, people relied on massage therapy to get rid of the fluid. It’s still a very effective ED treatment. In fact, many doctors recommend massaging yourself to get and sustain an erection.
Prevents Painful Ejaculation
Fluid build-up in your reproductive system can cause a lot of pain, especially during ejaculation. A massage may help relieve the pain. Give it a try and see what happens.
Better Urine Flow
A swollen or inflamed prostate can cause a burning sensation while urinating. It even puts you at a higher risk of developing bladder and urinary tract infections. Prostate massage helps reduce inflammation, which relieves the pain while easing urine flow.
While prostate massage therapy offers many benefits, you must remember that the tissues surrounding the prostate are fragile. Massaging too aggressively can cause tears and abrasions. This may lead to rectal bleeding, causing more inflammation and the introduction of bacterial infection into the urinary tract.
How to Perform Prostate Massage Therapy on Yourself
Giving yourself a prostate massage is akin to doing your own rectal exam. Yes. That means sticking at least one finger up your ass. You may feel discomfort during the first couple of massages. But as you continue doing it, you may find yourself enjoying its effects. And, no. Just because you find a prostate massage pleasurable, it doesn’t mean you’re gay. And even if you do realize you’re gay, there’s nothing wrong with that.
A prostate massage, when done right, can be quite pleasurable. It may even lead to an orgasm, which is a good thing because orgasms help further clear the prostate. You can do it using only your hands, or you can use prostate massagers for medical purposes.
Follow these steps for manual prostate massage.
- Wear a surgical glove and lubricate your forefinger using your favorite sex lube.
- Insert your finger and look for the prostate — a small round bump about one to two inches in.
- Massage this area using minimal pressure. Gently push the prostate toward the belly button. Avoid massaging too forcefully, as it can worsen your condition.
If you really can’t get used to it, you can try massaging the skin bridging the scrotum and the anus called the perineum instead. Of course, the feeling won’t be as intense. But when done regularly, you can still experience the same level of orgasms as massaging the prostate.
To make things more exciting, you can let your partner do it for you. Think of it as foreplay. But do make sure that your bowels are empty before doing a prostate massage to prevent anyone from accidentally coming into contact with feces.
If you’re using a prostate massager, be sure to get one particularly made for massage therapy. Unfortunately, many sex toys are being marketed as prostate massagers. Your urologist or massage therapist can help you find the right product.
How Long Should You Do Prostate Massages?
A regular massage for one month straight can help improve an inflamed prostate or ED. You can decrease your sessions from daily to only two to three times a week once your condition gets better–until you no longer need one anymore. Of course, you don’t have to stop if you want to continue the massages for your sexual pleasure.
Takeaway
Prostate massage doesn’t just help with reproductive problems. It can also be a source of pleasure. However, just like any other type of therapy, you should always check with your doctor before starting any form of home treatment.
