YOGYAKARTA Discussion on prostate massage may be a topic that feels a bit taboo or foreign to the ears of many people. However, in the medical and sexual world, gentle stimulation of the prostate can have various benefits. In full, explain the potential benefits of prostate massage and ways and things that need to be considered before trying it.

Prostate massage is a gentle stimulus in the prostate gland through a rectum, usually using fingers or special devices, with the purpose of therapeutic or sexual pleasure. The technique can be in the form of circular movement or fine pressure on the prostate surface. Sometimes done by medical personnel, but there are also those who do it themselves at home carefully. Even though it has been practiced for a long time, scientific evidence of its benefits is still limited and further research is needed. Quoting Health, Wednesday, October 8, here are the potential benefits of prostate massage that need to be known.

With age, the prostate can enlarge and suppress uretra so that urine flow becomes not smooth. In a 2006 study, a combination of prostate massage with antimicrobial therapy and alpha-blocker helps overcome urine retention, even participants can urinate more effectively. Therefore, prostate massage is sometimes considered as an addition in dealing with symptoms of urine disorders. Even so, consultation with doctors remains important so that this procedure is safe.

Prostatitis is an inflammatory condition or swelling in the prostate that can be caused by infection or other causes. Prostate massage has always been used as part of the treatment of chronic prostateitis. Some preliminary studies showed the benefits when combined with antibiotics, although the results were not consistent. Therefore, prostate massage can be an additional therapy, not a substitute for the main treatment of doctors.

Some people say that prostate massage helps improve sexual function or erectile dysfunction. However, the direct relationship between prostate massage and increased erectile function has not been scientifically proven. There are reports of cases that prostate stimulation increases the sexual arousal of an elderly man, but has not been confirmed by major research. Even so, many feel that their sensation and body response is better after this stimulation is carried out safely.

Prostates are often called male G-spots' because direct stimulation can produce strong sexual sensations. Many reports say that prostate stimulation through rectal stimulation can trigger an orgasm that is more intense than penis stimulation alone. Although the mechanism is not yet fully understood, this pleasure can arise due to a combination of soft pressure and a nervous response around the prostate. No wonder some couples make prostate massage part of more intimate sexual exploration.

Although it seems safe to do it carefully, prostate massage still has the potential for risk if done not in the right way. Too rough movements can cause abrasions, irritation, or even infections in the rectum and prostate tissue. In one 2009 study, about 8% of participants who massage themselves experience pain afterward. In addition, prostate massage should be avoided if you have acute bacterial prostateitis, active infection, or certain medical conditions. If you want to try, you should first consult an urologist.

Make sure your hands and nails are clean, use latex gloves and suffice the lubricant so that friction does not occur. In more detail, pay attention to the following method:

Prostate massage may not be a nutritious way, but it can be an alternative benefit to the health and sexual well-being of men. With potential benefits to promote urine, relieve prostateitis, to increase pleasure, this practice should be recognized more deeply and safely.
