- vesiculitis;
- prostatic hyperplasia.
Main causes of manifestation
The main reasons for the appearance of a lesion include:
- stagnant processes (non-infectious) - as a result of a decrease in immunity protection, a sedentary lifestyle, monotonous work in one place, problems with sexual life, hypothermia, orbody overheating;
- infectious processes - penetration into the body of an infectious disease (bacteria, viruses, fungi) or the presence in the body of a man of chronic inflammation of any nature.
Indications for massage
Before performing prostate massage, it is important to make sure that such therapy will not harm the patient or worsen his condition. It is important to remember that the 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 is contraindicated for infectious diseases.
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 a man.

Acute prostatitis is treated exclusively in the hospital, using strong antibiotics and antiandrogens to help reduce the response of the gland's androgen receptors.

Basic massage positions
How to massage the prostate with your finger? Before considering the finger prostate massage technique, it is important to determine the most comfortable positions for the procedure:
- The most comfortable position for the procedure is one in which the man lies on his back, bends his knees and pulls them to the surface of the chest. In this case, it is best to spread your legs a little insides. With one hand, a man can hold his leg, and the second - to do self-massage of the prostate gland.

Procedure technique
How to massage the prostate for pleasure and healing effect? The massage algorithm will be as follows:
- After the preparation is over, you can proceed to the massage itself. To do this, the finger is gently inserted into the back passes to a depth of no more than 5 centimeters.
- On the front wall of the intestine we find the prostate gland.
- Next, slow stimulation of the organ begins with gentle strokes from the sides to the middle - you can alternately stroke one side first, then the other (manipulations last a minute).
- Over time, the pressure on the prostate should increase, especially on the harder parts of the organ. On soft spots, the pressure should be reduced (continues for a minute).
- At the end of the procedure, stroke down along the central sulcus of the organ.
- Next, the finger is gently removed from the anus.
When carrying out manipulations, a man should carefully monitor his general condition - during the normal course of the procedure, he should not experience pain and other unpleasant sensations. When massaging the prostate, a man may feel a certain amount of fluid coming out of him (no more than 5drops). This fluid is the norm - this is prostate juice.
At the end of therapy, the patient must go to the toilet. This will help to get out the remnants of the secret along with the urine. You should also pay attention to the appearance of the discharge, as it will indicate the processes occurring in the prostate. Clear liquid is normal. Yellowish discharge will indicate the presence of an inflammatory process in the organ. Bloody - serious tissue damage. When pus or blood is discharged from the prostate, it is important to abandon self-treatment of the disease and immediately go to see your doctor.
Features of hydromassage
Hydromassage is another type of prostate treatment that uses water. During the procedure, the patient's rectum is filled with water (or a decoction of some herb). It helps reduce irritation in the rectal receptors and improve circulation.
Performing an independent hydromassage is quite simple. To do this, you need to take a rubber pear for an enema and draw water at room temperature into it. Next, the pear is inserted into the anus until the urge to defecate appears. Experts advise holding such an event a few hours before bedtime, after washing the genitals.
Treatment frequency
In order for the effect of massaging the prostate gland to be positive, it is important to know how to properly massage. But you also need to understand how many times a week it is worth carrying out such a procedure. Massage frequencywill be appointed by the doctor after consultation. As a rule, 15 procedures are prescribed with a break of one day.
Repeated course of treatment is carried out after 30 days. For prevention, you can repeat 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 the person has no contraindications.
If the prostate massage is of the 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 performed incorrectly or takes too long. The main sign of the end of the procedure is the release of a few drops of prostate secretion.
