What People Need to Know about Prostate Massages?
For some people, having a prostate massage sounds quite healthy. However, a lot of people are actually confused about the whole concept of prostate massage.
What is a prostate gland?
The prostate gland is actually a very complex structure. It is made up of sacs or very tiny acini, where the bacteria love to grow because of the non-acidic environment. Once the bacteria proliferate inside the prostate gland, the sac will be closed because of the swelling or the inflammation. When this occurs, the bacteria cannot be removed and antibiotics and the body’s normal protective mechanism cannot penetrate through to the bacteria.
As time goes by and this situation is not addressed immediately, even more bacteria will accumulate inside the gland, which will then disrupt with the normal sexual and urinary functions.
What can a prostate massage do?
A very gentle massage on the prostate gland, which should only be done by an expert urologist, is very beneficial to prevent further complications of the aforementioned condition, or better yet, avoid its occurrence.
The secretions that have gathered inside the gland after such a long time can then be drained with a prostate massage. The nerve endings that are located near the prostate gland are loosened and the tension is relieved.
Vigorous force
However, a prostate massage that is done vigorously can cause more harm than good. When this is done to a condition with an acute bacterial prostatitis, then the condition can lead to septicemia, which is a form of blood poisoning. If there is a carcinoma, then the normal mechanisms of the tumor can be disturbed, break up, and metastasize to other parts of the body.
Also, if the client has some prostatic calculi, which are very small stones, a vigorous prostate massage can tear the very delicate membranes inside the gland and exacerbate the condition.
Moreover, there is also a huge possibility that the ultimately thin lining of the rectum that is directly adjacent to the prostate gland gets perforated. In most cases, this occurs because the rectal lining was torn off by the masseuse’s fingernail. Another thing that can be regarded as a complication that is brought about by vigorous prostate massage is that it can cause the hemorrhoids to flare up.
Basically, before even considering about having a prostate massage, all of the points that have been aforementioned should be taken into account first before finally giving out any decision.
Torn urethra
When the massage is done too vigorously, the short segment located inside the urethra can be torn. This kind of tearing is usually indistinguishable during routine examinations because this part is very small. However, when it starts to heal, it leads to a urethral stricture.
Inexperienced practitioners
Having a prostate massage is dangerous enough, having one done by someone who has not enough experience, if there is any experience at all, is far more dangerous. The normal flora inside the urethra can be pushed into the epididymis which will result into epididymitis.
