If you\u2019re suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, here are the facts you need about prostate massage.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does The Prostate Work?<\/h3>\n<p>Prostate massage for BPH is a technique that can help with symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. To understand how and why prostatic massage might help and why an enlarged prostate might cause problems, we need to understand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279291\/\">how the prostate works<\/a> and where it\u2019s located.<\/p>\n<p>The prostate is in front of your rectum and below your bladder; your urethra runs through the center of it. Its main job is to generate the fluid that, when combined with sperm from the testicles, creates semen. The prostate makes this fluid at a regular rate, keeping it in reserve for when it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n<p>When you ejaculate, smooth muscle around and inside the prostate contracts, forcing the fluid into the urethra, where it mixes with sperm and becomes semen.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Does an Enlarged Prostate Cause Problems?<\/h3>\n<p>BPH, also called an enlarged prostate, is a common medical condition. Around age 25, the prostate begins growing again and never stops throughout your life. Your prostate can also become inflamed due to prostatitis, an infection, or inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Once the prostate reaches a certain size, its location becomes a problem. Since it surrounds the urethra, a large enough prostate can squeeze the urethra and narrow it. This can cause urinary problems, like trouble getting a stream started, frequent need to urinate, or not being able to go at all, called urinary retention.<\/p>\n<p>The obvious solution is to reduce the size of the prostate. There are a few methods to do this, but doctors will generally start with the lowest-risk ones.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Medical Prostate Massage?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/visiting-with-a-doctor.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31897\" title=\"visiting with a doctor\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/visiting-with-a-doctor.jpeg\" alt=\"visiting with a doctor\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/visiting-with-a-doctor.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/visiting-with-a-doctor-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To massage your prostate, your doctor will insert a gloved finger or <a href=\"https:\/\/openurologyandnephrologyjournal.com\/contents\/volumes\/V2\/TOUNJ-2-20\/TOUNJ-2-20.pdf\">ultrasonic device<\/a> into your rectum to stimulate the prostate. It can also be done externally through the perineum.<\/p>\n<p>Your provider will gently stroke the sides of your prostate to ease fluid out of the prostatic ducts into the urethra. You will then expel the fluid with your urine.<\/p>\n<p>Draining fluid from the prostate helps to reduce the size of the prostate, which can bring relief from pain and discomfort. The fluid can also be tested for biomarkers that indicate prostatitis, prostate cancer, or other issues.<\/p>\n<p>Prostate massage isn\u2019t painful; in fact, it can be stimulating. The procedure is also called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/prostate-milking\/\">prostate milking<\/a>, and many men find it a pleasurable sexual technique. However, we\u2019ll leave that discussion to you and your partner.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Would I Get A Prostate Massage For BPH?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few reasons why prostate massage can be a good option for BPH, despite what might be perceived as drawbacks to some men.<\/p>\n<p>They include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>It\u2019s low-risk<\/strong>. There\u2019s no medication to take and no surgery involved, so there\u2019s little risk of side effects or complications, with one caveat: If you have prostatitis caused by a bacterial infection, there is some risk of spreading the infection or injuring inflamed areas of the body. Talk with your doctor about options.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Your doctor can do it as part of a standard exam<\/strong>. If you\u2019re regularly being checked for signs of prostate cancer during a digital rectal exam (DRE) and have an enlarged prostate, a doctor can do it as part of the exam.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>It can be done externally if needed<\/strong>. Especially with an enlarged prostate, it may be possible to clear out the ducts without performing a DRE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Though prostate massage can effectively relieve discomfort to a degree, eventually you may need other treatment. Your doctor may combine it with medication such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/finasteride\/\">finasteride<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/cialis\/\">Cialis<\/a>, and over time, you may need surgery to reduce the size of your prostate.<\/p>\n<h3>Am I Going To Orgasm From Medical Prostatic Massage?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/talking-with-a-doctor.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31898\" title=\"talking with a doctor\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/talking-with-a-doctor.jpeg\" alt=\"talking with a doctor\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/talking-with-a-doctor.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/talking-with-a-doctor-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll have an orgasm from medical prostatic massage. It\u2019s in a clinical environment. Many treatments for BPH and prostatitis can have an impact on your libido, erections, and sex drive, but it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019re going to be in the mood.<\/p>\n<p>That said, while there are no documented numbers that we could find, it happens often enough that it\u2019s a possibility. Part of the issue is that it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/ca.23006\">not particularly clear<\/a> why interacting with the prostate should cause an orgasm at all. Even an experienced doctor might find themselves in an awkward conversation.<\/p>\n<p>If it does, remember that your doctor is a professional who has probably seen it before (and far worse things). If you\u2019re willing, you may want to discuss the chances of this happening before your appointment, or if it makes you uncomfortable, you can just skip the procedure.<\/p>\n<h3>If I Ejaculate Regularly, Does That Serve the Same Purpose?<\/h3>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t seem much study has been done around the size of the prostate and whether or not regular ejaculation can help keep it smaller. There is some evidence that it can <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15069045\/\">help reduce prostate cancer risk<\/a>, although researchers don\u2019t understand how and why.<\/p>\n<p>We do know, however, that the prostate is going to continue to grow, no matter what, and at some point you will probably need to take action. So, if you\u2019ve got the ability, feel free. Frequent ejaculation certainly can\u2019t hurt, but don\u2019t assume it\u2019s going to be a cure-all.<\/p>\n<h3>Get The Facts About BPH, Prostatitis, and Sexual Health<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to your sexual health and your body, you need to be informed and advocate for yourself.
