What is Prostate Massage?
Prostate massage is a term often used to describe prostate drainage that is produced by the application of pressure on the prostate. The pressure is either applied by a finger, or by a mechanical device, that is inserted into the rectum. The objective of prostate massage is to use the pressure applied to the prostate to force debris from the prostate and out through the urethra. The forceful passage of that debris relieves built up pressure inside the prostate and provides relief for a man suffering from a prostate disorder such as prostatitis. This procedure however, can sometimes be dangerous because it could result in trauma to prostate tissue. Prostate debris can be dense, hard and of irregular shape. If forced from the acini of a prostate by external pressure, it can sometimes result in trauma to the surrounding prostate tissue.
