Baidu, you can always find countless pages that teach you prostate self massage methods. However, can male friends actually complete prostate massage at home by referring to online tutorials?
Don't expect prostate massage instead of treatment
The so-called prostate massage is an auxiliary therapy that involves inserting a finger into the rectum and massaging the prostate gland to drain prostate fluid, expel inflammatory substances, relieve accumulation of prostate secretion, improve local blood circulation, and promote the absorption and regression of inflammation.
Due to the fact that most patients with chronic prostatitis are middle-aged men and their daily work tasks are heavy, it is obviously unrealistic for them to take specific time each week to go to the hospital to seek professional medical personnel for massage. Therefore, it is also a feasible method for patients to conduct self massage at home.
It is best to consult a professional physician before prostate massage

Prostate massage has a high technical requirement, and it is best for patients to seek professional doctors to learn and receive necessary guidance before massaging at home.
When performing prostate massage, the patient should take a squatting position or lateral recumbent position, clean the anus after defecation, put on a finger cuff with one hand and lubricate it with soapy water, extend it into the anus, use the distal phalange of the index finger to face the rectal surface of the prostate, and gently press the prostate from the outside to the bottom, that is, first press the prostate from both sides of the gland to the midline for 3-4 times, Then press the prostatic fluid from the central sulcus from top to bottom towards the external orifice of the urethra. Massage for 3 to 5 minutes each time, preferably with prostate fluid discharged from the urethra each time. Massage should be gentle and gentle, with an interval of at least 3 days between each massage treatment, and generally massage 1 to 2 times a week. After massage, the patient should urinate immediately, allowing the inflammatory secretions remaining in the urethra to be excreted along with the urine.
It should be noted that massage is not appropriate in the following situations: patients suspected of prostate tuberculosis or tumor; Acute attack period of chronic prostatitis; Patients with atrophy or sclerosis of the prostate. During self massage, it should be noted that if prostate tenderness is evident and bladder sensitivity is enhanced, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
