Prostatitis is a common male disease. The main non-drug way of its treatment is prostate massage. Such a procedure can be carried out in the clinic or independently at home. A prostate massage does not require a medical education or any skills. It is important to determine how to properly massage the prostate in men.
The effect of the procedure
Direct prostate massage has a positive effect in the presence of prostatitis, an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland.
Such a lesion is considered quite common, is classified into 4 categories and may be accompanied by concomitant pathologies, such as:
- urethritis;
- vesiculitis;
- prostatic hyperplasia .
The main causes of manifestation
The main reasons for the appearance of a lesion include:
- stagnant processes (non-infectious) - as a result of reduced immunity, a sedentary lifestyle, monotonous work in one place, problems with sexual life, hypothermia or overheating of the body;
- infectious processes - the penetration of an infectious disease into the body (bacteria, viruses, fungi) or the presence in the male body of chronic inflammation of any nature.
Indications for massage
Before conducting prostate massage, it is important to make sure that such therapy does not harm the patient and does not worsen his condition. It is important to remember that treatment of the disease through direct massaging can not be used in all cases - such a procedure is allowed to be done only with non-infectious prostatitis. Massage for infectious diseases is contraindicated.
In addition, various forms of the course of the disease can also limit the possibility of massage from prostatitis at home - in the acute form, it is completely contraindicated for men. Most often, even palpation during diagnosis during acute prostatitis is carried out extremely carefully, since in this case the affected area of the body provokes a strong pain syndrome and a reflex spasm of the muscle tissues of the anus.
The treatment of acute prostatitis is carried out exclusively in the hospital with the use of strong antibiotics and antiandrogens, which help reduce the reaction of androgynous gland receptors.
How to massage the prostate yourself? In order not to harm the body and not worsen the condition, massage with the prostate at home is allowed to be carried out only after consulting a doctor who will allow such a procedure. In this case, the doctor will determine exactly how to massage, how many days and how often.
Preparation for the procedure
How to massage a prostate in a man? Before the massage, it is important to conduct a series of procedures that will help strengthen the result of therapy:
- doctors recommend cleansing the intestines: for this, you can use an enema with a warm decoction of chamomile;
- previously, the patient should drink about a liter of water 1 hour before the procedure - a full bladder positively affects the prostate gland, loading it, which makes the effect of massage even stronger;
- when conducting prostate massage, a person should completely relax, since it is in this state that unpleasant sensations and discomfort can be avoided;
- also, a person should take a pose that is comfortable for himself: lie on his right side and pull his knees to his chest or take a knee-elbow pose;
- proper prostate massage should be carried out using surgical gloves, as well as lubrication (you can use simple petroleum jelly), which will help prevent tissue irritation, as well as pain.
Features of the procedure
How to massage the prostate to her husband? After preparing for the procedure, you should begin to perform the massage itself. To do this, the index finger is carefully inserted into the anal opening of the patient. The prostate gland is at a depth of about 5 centimeters, in size and shape it is more like a nut.
According to the density of iron, soft or dense, such characteristics will directly depend on the severity of the disease and the prevalence of inflammation.
Having felt the prostate gland, one should begin to perform neat massaging movements, starting from the right side and slowly moving to the left. At the end of the massage, gently press on the middle of the gland and slide your finger along the central groove in the direction from top to bottom.
Therapy lasts for 2-3 minutes, and it is allowed to conduct it every other day.
If after three procedures lasting three minutes each a person does not experience any improvement, then it is important to seek help from a doctor. If with regular massage the massage does not bring any positive effect, then it should be discarded so as not to worsen the condition and not provoke complications.
The main contraindications to the procedure
Performing prostate massage at home is prohibited in the following cases:
- the patient has developed acute or semi-acute form of prostatitis;
- there is prostate tuberculosis;
- an acute infection is in the body;
- the man’s body temperature rose greatly;
- exacerbated form of hemorrhoids;
- difficulty urinating or a bladder disease;
- the presence of cracks in the anus, which are previously important to cure.
Transparent or white discharge in a patient after a massage is a normal process. But if, after the procedure, a man begins to get discharge with pus (yellow), then the procedure must be stopped immediately and seek medical help.
Complications and their causes
Can I massage the prostate? A man should prepare himself for such a procedure from a psychological point of view. He must understand that proper prostate massage does not provoke a pain syndrome and help him recover. It is important to inform the person in advance how long the procedure will last, and also to remind that for the painlessness of therapy, he must relax the muscles of the buttocks, abs and back.
When a pain syndrome appears, it is important to suspend massage treatment for a while and consult a specialist. It will help identify the causes of the deterioration and identify the main contraindications.
The main danger of the procedure
How to massage the prostate with your finger? An unqualified massage performed at home can be dangerous for a person’s condition and even lead to serious complications.
When conducting a massage, the following should be considered:
- if massaging is carried out in the acute form of bacterial prostatitis, then as a result, the process of blood poisoning can be provoked;
- if there are stones in the prostate gland, then this treatment method can provoke damage to the colon tissue, as well as cell rupture;
- strong pressure on the prostate gland can lead to rupture of a short section of the urethra - this condition is almost not detected, but leads to rapid damage to the urethra and, as a result, to problems with microflora.
It is possible to carry out massage at home, but with it it is very important to follow the basic rules and instructions, as well as perform all movements slowly and accurately. Only in this case can a positive effect be achieved without complications.

Many men do not want or are embarrassed to carry out such an awkward procedure as prostate massage. They are even willing to risk their health in order not to visit the clinic and not to massage. But few of them know that it is possible to conduct prostate massage on their own, then no one will see and embarrass.
Features of self-massage
It is important to note that an independent massage of the prostate is allowed only after consultation with a treating specialist. It is the doctor who will help to give the correct instructions and will tell which type of massage the patient should use, as well as how long the procedure itself should last. From a medical point of view, the procedure brings the following effect:
- improves blood flow to the affected organ;
- enhances the effect of taking medications;

- relieves the inflammatory process, relieves swelling;
- Together with the secret, all pathogenic bacteria and infectious products come out of the prostate gland.

- increases the total time of sexual contact;
- enhances sensations during orgasm;
- enhances sex drive;
- significantly improves potency.
The main types of massage
How to massage the prostate at home? Specialists distinguish two main types of massage of the prostate gland - internal and external. The inner is divided into the following varieties:
- finger massage;
- hardware procedure;
- hydromassage.
Internal prostate massage using bougie is also practiced. But such a procedure is not carried out at home, therefore it is allowed only under the strict supervision of a doctor.
How to massage the prostate yourself? The first thing you can do an independent massage at home is your own finger. Also, a man can massage the prostate gland with the help of specialized devices that can be bought at a pharmacy or created independently. For hydromassage, a man needs to prepare a rubber bulb with a special solution (chamomile, furatsilina or potassium permanganate).
Basic massage postures
How to massage the prostate with your finger? Before considering the technique of finger massage of the prostate gland , it is important to determine the most comfortable postures for the procedure:
- The most comfortable posture for the procedure is one in which a man lies on his back, bends his knees and draws them to the surface of the chest. In this case, it is best to spread your legs slightly to the sides. With one hand, a man can hold his leg, and with the other - do self-massage of the prostate gland.
- If desired, you can massage in the same position, but already on the side. But many men say that conducting an independent body massage in the supine position is still more convenient.
- Some people perform a knee-elbow procedure.
- Quite difficult, but comfortable for the procedure, is also considered a pose in which a man squats, knees apart.
- With problems with the condition of the joints of the limbs, a man can choose a comfortable position during which he does not have to kneel.
- Also, during the procedure, you can lie on your stomach and pick up your knees for yourself.
Preparation for self-massage
Before starting the procedure, it is important to carefully prepare and not forget anything:
- The place where the procedure will be carried out (sofa bed) should be covered with a clean cloth.
- 1 hour before an independent massage, the patient should drink a liter of clean water so that when massaging the prostate gland, his bladder will be full.
- Before massage, you should also cleanse the intestines from processed products through an enema. Enema is best done on the basis of a decoction of chamomile, a solution of potassium permanganate or furatsilina.
- It is also very important to disinfect hands, trim nails.
- A glove, a condom or a fingertip should be put on a hand or a separate finger, which will be used for all manipulations.
- To ensure the best glide and prevent pain, it is best to lubricate the surface of the glove with petroleum jelly, cream or special grease.
- Before carrying out the procedure itself, it is important to thoroughly wash the genitals, as well as the anus, and wipe with a towel.
Procedure Technique
How to massage the prostate for pleasure and therapeutic effect? The massage algorithm will be as follows:
- After completing the preparation, you can proceed to the massage itself. To do this, the finger is carefully inserted into the back and passes to a depth of no more than 5 centimeters.
- On the front wall of the intestine we find the prostate gland.
- Then begins the slow stimulation of the organ with gentle strokes from the sides to the middle - you can alternately stroke first one side, then the other (the manipulations last a minute).
- Over time, pressure on the prostate should increase, especially in harder areas of the body. In soft places, the pressure should be reduced (lasts a minute).
- At the end of the procedure, stroking down along the central groove of the organ should be done.
- Next, the finger is carefully removed from the anus.
During the manipulation, a man should carefully monitor his general condition - in the normal course of the procedure, he should not experience pain or other unpleasant sensations. When massaging the prostate, a man can feel how a certain amount of fluid comes out of it (no more than 5 drops). Such fluid is the norm - it is the juice of the prostate gland.
At the end of therapy, the patient should go to the toilet. This will help to leave the remnants of the secret together with urine. You should also pay attention to the appearance of the discharge, as it will indicate the processes occurring in the prostate. Transparent liquid is the norm. Yellowish discharge will indicate the presence of an inflammatory process in the organ. Bloody - serious tissue damage. When allocating pus or blood from the prostate, it is important to abandon the independent treatment of the disease and immediately go to the doctor.
Hydromassage Features
Hydromassage is another form of exposure to the prostate gland that uses water. During the procedure, the patient’s rectum is filled with water (or a decoction of some grass). This helps to reduce irritation in the receptors of the rectum and improve the blood circulation.
Carrying out an independent hydromassage is quite simple. To do this, you need to take a rubber bulb for an enema and draw water at room temperature into it. Next, the pear is inserted into the anus until the urge to defecate. Experts advise such an event to be carried out several hours before bedtime, after washing the genitals.
Procedure frequency
In order for the effect of prostate massaging to be positive, it is important to know how to massage properly. But you also need to understand how many times a week it is worth carrying out such a procedure. The frequency of massage will be prescribed by the doctor after consultation. As a rule, 15 procedures are prescribed with a break of one day.
A second course of treatment is carried out after 30 days. For prevention, you can repeat it once a week. If the disease is in an advanced stage, then prostate massage is carried out in combination with taking medications. Before the procedure, it is important to make sure that a person has no contraindications.
If prostate massage is of direct type, then its duration should not exceed two minutes. Indirect organ massage is performed for five minutes. The main thing in this case is to avoid pain, as it will indicate that the procedure is being performed incorrectly or for too long. The main sign of the end of the procedure is the allocation of a few drops of prostate secretion.
