As part of the complex treatment of inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland, a special device is often used - a urological prostate massager. They have a positive effect on the organs, prevent exacerbation of chronic prostatitis and increase potency. The main advantage of such a device is the ability to use it independently at home. There are many types of devices, and their use is limited by certain contraindications.
What is a prostate massager and why is it needed?
A urological prostate massager is a physiotherapeutic tool used for local massage of the prostate gland for therapeutic purposes. This product is made of special material for medical purposes and has an elongated shape. It is used at home and is a good alternative to digital prostate massage, which is performed in the clinic by a urologist.
Prostate massage at home does not reduce the effectiveness of this procedure. On the other hand, performing manipulations at home helps to relax the patient, relieve stiffness and discomfort.
The therapeutic effect is achieved through direct stimulation of the diseased organ and manifests itself:
- normalization of the outflow of prostate secretions at the time of ejaculation;
- eliminate congestion in the pelvic organs;
- cleans the prostate ducts;
- increase the penetration of drugs deep into the gland;
- increased blood circulation and normalization of metabolism;
- restoration of damaged tissue;
- loss of tissue swelling;
- reduce inflammation;
- increased tone of the prostate gland;
- removal of pus from organs during purulent inflammation;
- eliminate the signs of erectile dysfunction.
Indications and contraindications
Devices for prostate massage should be used only on the recommendation of the attending physician.
Indications for the procedure are:
- Chronic prostatitis is in remission.
- Congestive prostatitis is a non-infectious inflammation due to congestion in the pelvis.
- Erectile dysfunction, manifested by premature ejaculation, loss of sensation during orgasm, and decreased potency.
- Impaired ability to reproduce, associated with poor sperm motility, increased sperm viscosity and other factors.
- Early stages of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
The use of prostate stimulants is prohibited in the following cases:
- Acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic prostatitis. In this case, prostate massage can cause injury to the organ and the spread of the inflammatory process. Even one procedure can trigger complications in the form of: vesiculitis - inflammation of the seminal vesicles; orchiepidymitis - inflammation of the testicles and their appendages; purulent prostatitis.
- Glandular tumor.In the case of oncology, any physiotherapeutic procedure is contraindicated.Otherwise, nutrition improves and tumor cell growth increases, which can lead to the spread of the malignant process to neighboring tissues and organs.
- Severity of piles. Physical impact on the rectum can cause bleeding from varicose veins.
- Anal fissure. The impact of the device on the crack can cause an increase in its size, increased pain and bleeding.
- Stones (calcifications) in the prostate gland. Carrying out massage will inevitably lead to injury to organ tissue, which is dangerous for the development of purulent calculus prostatitis.
- Tuberculosis of the prostate. In this case, the massage procedure will trigger the spread of the infectious process.
- Diarrhea (stool disorder). Massage will increase the number of urges to defecate due to the irritating effect of the device on the rectum.
- Urogenital herpes.
- Anal genital condyloma.
In the case of BPH, prostate massage is carried out with great care. This is due to the ability of some forms of the disease to degenerate into malignant tumors during physiotherapeutic treatment. Before using the massager, you need to donate blood for PSA (prostate specific antigen), the normal value is 0–4 ng/ml.The borderline and the high number of indicators are reasons for the categorical rejection of the procedure.
The main type
There are many different brands and forms of prostate massagers, but they are all divided into two groups:
- Internal or invasive - affecting the prostate gland by inserting into the rectum.
- External or non-invasive - affects the prostate through the perineal area.
The most effective device is considered an invasive massager, which affects the affected organ in various ways:
terms . By increasing local temperature, blood circulation in the prostate gland improves. This helps to relieve congestion in the organs, reduce swelling and relieve pain.Vibrating . The vibration helps increase the tone of the glandular tissue and release the clogged ducts from the content, resulting in a decrease in inflammation.Magnets . Provides restoration of damaged prostate tissue, relieves pain and pain during urination, dilutes prostate secretions and reduces their volume.
Another positive quality of the invasive device is increased potency and the man receives pleasant sensations from the procedure.
Invasive prostate stimulators include electric massage. The principle of operation of such a device is to influence the glands through special electrodes. The current strength during the procedure is adjusted by the doctor based on the patient's feelings. All men feel is a slight discomfort in the pelvic area. Massage can be done in two ways:
- One of the electrodes is inserted into the patient's urethra, and the second is attached to the tailbone area.
- One electrode is attached to the genital area, and the second is inserted into the rectum.
Non-invasive devices are less effective than direct massagers. Often it is used for prophylactic purposes. With their help, a small amount of stagnant fluid is removed. The principle of operation of such a device is to activate the gland by stimulating the pubococcygeus muscle.
The best model
The simplest model of a manual invasive massager works like a vibrator, that is, it is only equipped with a vibration function. More expensive devices combine several methods of influence: magnetic, thermal and vibration.
The best non-invasive prostate massager is a device that has a gentle massage effect on the pubococcygeus muscle, thereby activating the prostate gland and relieving congestion.
Recommendations for use
Prostate massage using an invasive massager has certain rules:
- Colon cleansing before the procedure. If you suffer from constipation, you can get help from laxatives or microenemas.
- Hygiene of the anus and genitals to prevent pathogenic microflora from entering the mucous membrane.
- Bladder filling. One hour before prostate stimulation, you need to drink 0. 5-1 liters of water. Massage with a full bladder is more effective.
- Using a condom (to protect the device) and lubricant (to make it easier to insert the device into the rectum). The lubricant must be water-based, as silicone or oil solutions can damage the integrity of the condom and damage the massager. In addition, such lubricants often cause allergies.
- Comfortable body position. The best position for prostate massage is lying on your left side, with your legs bent at the knees and pressed against your stomach. This provides convenience during the procedure and facilitates comfortable tip insertion.
- Insert the device to a depth of about five centimeters.
- The first procedure takes no more than five minutes. After that - up to eight minutes.
- Device processing. After each procedure, it is necessary to wipe the device with a disinfectant solution or alcohol.
- Empty the bladder. If ejaculation does not occur during the massage, then you need to urinate immediately after the procedure. Prostate secretions and pathogenic microorganisms are excreted with urine.
The non-invasive device is easy to use and does not require any preparation for manipulation. It is enough to place the device correctly in the perineal area and wait until the procedure is completed.
During treatment, you should not give up sexual life if there is no discomfort or pain. Frequent ejaculation increases the drainage of the prostate gland.
In a married couple, the wife can help her husband perform prostate massage. This is not only easier for a man, but will also diversify your sex life.
How to choose?
For ease of use and to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect, it is necessary to take into account some rules for choosing the device.
| Criteria | Election Rules |
| Purpose | A special urological prostate massager is very effective, not a "toy" bought in a sex shop |
| Multifunction | It is better to give preference to devices that have a complex effect (thermal, vibration and magnetic) on the gland |
| Manufacturer | The best countries that produce prostate massagers are France, Germany and the United States. Chinese products are of low quality and do not meet medical standards |
| material | High-quality models are made of hypoallergenic materials such as medical plastic, latex, silicone, cyber skin |
| Form | The product must have an anatomical shape |
| Diameter | A thin device with a diameter of about two centimeters is considered the simplest. |
| Operating mode | It is better if the device is equipped with several operating modes |
If you have difficulty making a decision about choosing a device, you can get help from a doctor. He will tell you which massage therapist is needed, taking into account the health status and individual characteristics of the patient.
Most representatives of the male population, due to natural shyness, try to avoid medical prostate massage. For their convenience, special devices have been developed for home use, which can be purchased at pharmacies or ordered in online stores.
