Q & A

What is the prostate and where is it located?

The prostate is a small, walnut-sized organ situated below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra and is crucial for the male reproductive system, producing seminal fluid that aids in the transport and nourishment of sperm during ejaculation.

What are some factors that influence prostate health?

Factors influencing prostate health include age, genetics, hormones, exercise, size, mobility, and nutrition. A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, amino acids, and vitamins, along with regular physical activity, can contribute to maintaining a healthy prostate.

What are the potential benefits of prostate stimulation?

Regular prostate stimulation, often referred to as 'milking the prostate,' can help release prostatic fluid, preventing fluid buildup or stagnation in the gland. This can reduce the risk of infection, inflammation, or disease. Additionally, many men report improved sexual function, such as increased ability to achieve erections that may last longer or be stronger.

How can prostate massage help with chronic prostatitis?

While clinical evidence is not concrete, some studies suggest that prostate massage, when combined with antibiotics, can lead to substantial improvement in symptoms of chronic prostatitis, including pain relief and clearing of infection, more effectively than antibiotics alone.

What is the difference between anal sex and prostate massage?

Anal sex involves penile penetration of the anus and rectum, which can indirectly stimulate the prostate. Prostate massage, on the other hand, is a therapeutic technique specifically designed to target and stimulate the prostate gland, typically involving gentle pressure and repetitive movements to release congestion or fluid.

How can prostate massage help with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?

Prostate massage can help with BPH by stimulating the release of prostatic fluid, reducing congestion and inflammation. This can lead to improved urine flow and reduced frequency of urination, especially at night. However, it's not considered a first-line treatment and should be discussed with a doctor.

Does prostate massage impact the rate of prostate cancer?

There is no concrete clinical evidence to suggest that routine prostate massage reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer. However, it may help reduce inflammation of the prostate, which is known to be a key trigger for prostate cancer.

What are some common prostate health issues?

Common prostate health issues include prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer. These conditions can impact urinary function and overall prostate health, and it's important to get routinely screened and be conscious of these issues.

What are the steps to successfully massage the prostate?

The steps include consulting with a doctor, preparing by washing hands and using lubricant, encouraging relaxation, locating the prostate about 2 to 3 inches into the rectum, applying gentle pressure in a circular or back-and-forth motion, checking in with the partner for comfort, and cleaning up afterward.

How can a healthy diet and exercise contribute to prostate health?

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, along with regular physical activity, can help maintain a healthy prostate by providing essential nutrients and promoting overall health, potentially reducing the risk of prostate issues.

What should one consider before starting prostate massage for health benefits?

Before starting prostate massage for health benefits, it's important to consult with a doctor to ensure it's appropriate, especially if there are existing prostate concerns or conditions. One should also be gentle, especially initially, to avoid aggravating the prostate.

welcome back to another episode of

spilling the tea with Dr T and Gabriel D

and your favorite lavali the trio is

back once again and today we're going to

be discussing a new topic something we

haven't discussed before and so we're

going to be reviewing anal sex and your

prostate health do you know where your

prostate is I have no idea well today

we're going to discuss how to

successfully massage your own prostate

or someone else's is and what the health

benefits are going to be so things we

learn here you know the things we do to

spread education and hopefully increase

pleasure and awareness of what our body

does when it responds to certain

stimulations so ready to dive in are we

going to do some practice examples not

here are you ready to answer my

questions let's go first and foremost

let's start with the basics MH what is

the prostate so the prostate is is a

small Walnut sized organ that is located

below the bladder and in front of the

rectum right baby it surrounds the

urethra and plays a crucial role in the

male reproductive system so it's tiny

it's tiny like a walnut like a walnut

yeah and so the prostate produces simol

fluid which allows the transport and

nourishment of sperm when we ejaculate

and so what are some factors that

influence prostate health so several

factors influence prostate health of

course age genetics hormones exercise

size and Mobility as well as things that

we eat in our nutrition if you want to

have a healthy prostate it's important

to have a healthy diet so diet rich in

fruits and vegetables all the amino

acids we need and vitamins and also

having a regular physical activity

routine is going to help to maintain

your prostate health it's important to

keep your prostate healthy yeah and if

you're ever wondering what can I do to

help this organ that organ system

anything in your body exercise and eat

right it's truly the medicine that goes

beyond yes anything that you can imagine

so that's always a good place to get

started because it's more than just a

medicine it's more about prevention if

you have the right diet balance and

exercise regularly you're going to have

less chances or risks to need a

medication exactly what are the

potential benefits of prostate

stimulation so there are multiple

potential benefits of regular prostate

stimulation often referred to as milking

the prostate prostate stimulation or a

prostate massage can actually help to

release something called prostatic fluid

which is the fluid released by the

prostate keeping it healthy and

preventing it from allowing the fluid to

back up or get stuck in the gland so we

do know that that regular movement is

going to help to keep things healthy and

keep that fluid moving out so it doesn't

cause any infection ear inflammation or

disease milking the prostate what a

funny name I know I saw that and I've

heard it before as well and it was uh

interesting to try to see that in my

head yes many men also report

Improvement in their sexual function

from routine or regular prostate massage

oftentimes they'll say they've noticed

an increase in their ability to achieve

an erection sometimes erections will be

lasting longer or stronger and we think

this is because regular massage to the

area increases blood flow to the organ

allowing that blood to replenish the

tissue encourage it to turn over reduce

inflammation so all those things of

course increasing blood flow um and that

gentle massage can have a pretty

substantial impact not only on keeping

the proy healthy but improving our

sexual function wow there are a lot of

benefits to a stimulation of the

prostate yeah and it's not just for

certain people of a specific sexual

orientation all men can find benefit not

only through pleasure but the health

benefits of prostate massage but of

course you always want to consider your

overall health talk to your doctor to

make sure it's right for you we don't

want to give medical advice here but in

general there's a lot of posit results

that can come from routine regular

massage it's similar to masturbation you

would say absolutely yeah definitely and

so what are some common prostate health

issues right so we talked about the

benefits of prostate massage on a

healthy prostate but thinking about some

of the common prostate issues that we

see of course prostatitis or

inflammation of the prostate is a big

one this can be acute meaning a

short-term experience or chronic where

people have it for a long period of time

we also want to think about benign

pratic hyperplasia or BPH this is a

really common condition that typically

happens as we get older our prostate

starts to grow and that growth can

impact the urethra which goes through

the prostate making it difficult for us

to urinate often times that's why older

men get up a lot throughout the night

because they have to urinate frequently

and then of course most severely we

think of prostate cancer which is the

most common cancer in men while it is

typically a slow acting and less

aggressive form of cancer it's still

something we want to get routinely

screened for and be conscious of as one

of the main issues that are going to

impact uh Men's Health prostate health

in general so it's important to check a

prostate yeah and you know getting

comfortable with your own prostate with

a gentle massage is a great way to get

started how does prostate massage or

stimulation help with chronic

prostatitis so while clinical evidence

on the subject is not concrete there is

some clinical evidence supporting the

use of prostate massage to treat chronic

prostatitis there was actually a journal

article in the Journal called Urology

which EXP explained that patients that

had a history of chronic prostatitis

that were instructed to routinely uh

proceed with prostate massage in

combination with antibiotics saw a

substantial Improvement in their

symptoms not only pain relief but also

clearing of the infection and overall

Improvement much faster than those that

took antibiotics alone so there is

certainly a place for it of course if

this is something happening to you you

want to talk to your own primary doctor

about it or the doctor's taking care of

you but the evidence is clear that there

is some improvement that can take place

when using prostate massage in

combination with antibiotics for this

particular concern it's interesting how

something so simple as prostate massage

can be a medication or solution for all

those issues related to Pro the prostate

yeah and we think of massage as just

helping to relax muscles and maybe

something that you would do at a spa to

relieve tension or just to have kind of

a a spa day type that's what I think of

at least when I think of massage but

there's actually a lot of benefits not

just massaging the prostate but really

any type of massage that reduces

inflammation allows tissues to heal of

course you want to be gentle and we'll

get into that later but it is nice to

see that there is physical treatments

available for some of these concerns we

may not have considered um to be

appropriate you know I wouldn't have

assumed a prostate massage would help in

this type of situation but the evidence

is clear and you can do yourself

technically yes how does prostate

massage help with symptoms of BPH or

benine prostatic hyperplasia so BPH or

benign prostatic hyperplasia often

involves the congestion and of the

prostate so by physically stimulating it

or massaging it it's going to help to

stimulate the prostate to release that

seol fluid and sort of allow for

reduction in that congestion and reduce

inflammation at the same time and so

because that inflammation is what's

typically causing the problems with

urine output or increasing the risk of

frequency of urination or waking up in

the middle of the night noct UA um it's

going to provide a release and allow for

the prostate to sort of calm itself down

and reduce the risk of all those

symptoms that you would typically expect

with BPH so you're going to be urinating

more effectively and not waking up

throughout the night that being said

it's not the main state of treatment for

BPH while there is clinical evidence

again published in the Journal of

Urology that showed that prostate

massage can benefit symptoms of phph

it's typically again not firstline

treatment you'd want to talk to your own

doctor about the medications that they

would probably recommend at least

initially and of course make sure you're

a good candidate to proceed with massage

on your own before deciding to add that

into your treatment routine another

interesting article actually published

in the Journal of endocrinology and

Metabolism showed that urine output

after a prostate massage was

substantially increased in comparison to

those patients with BPH that did not

have a massage so they took two sets of

patients both having BPH or benign

prostatic hyperplasia one was given a

prostate massage the other was not and

then measured how their urine outputs

changed over time and those with the

massage saw a higher output of urine

flow which means that those symptoms of

BPH have been improved so again there's

some evidence showing that it is

substantially beneficial but you want to

talk to your own doctor before adding

this treatment into your regimen got to

make sure doctor gives it an okay yes

but statistics show that massaging a

prostate could be good for you yeah

absolutely so definitely worth talking

to your doctor about if this is an issue

that you're concerned with does prostate

massage impact the rate of prostate

cancer so that's a great question of

course at this time there's no concrete

clinical evidence to suggest routine or

regular prostate massage will reduce

your risk of developing prostate cancer

or certainly um no educational or

evidence-based literature to say that

it's like a cure or a treatment for any

type of prostate cancer however routine

regular prostate stimulation can reduce

inflammation of the prostate over time

and we do know inflammation is one of

the key triggers for prostate cancer so

certainly something to discuss again

with your doctor if you have prostate

issues um make sure that they're aware

that this is something interested in so

they can guide you on what the next best

steps are going to be but unfortunately

at this time there's no clinical

evidence to concretely say that

massaging your prostate is going to

reduce the risk of prostate cancer I

know this might be a silly question but

what is the difference between anal sex

and prostate massage while both can

stimulate and massage the prostate one

is more tailored or directed towards

massage while the other is more of an

indirect massage of the prostate through

sexual activity right the prostate

massage is a therapeutic technique

specifically designed to Target and

stimulate the prostate gland typically

involves the gentle pressure and

repetitive movements in the prostate

area to allow the prostate gland to

release any congestion or fluid that is

backed up with the goal to reduce

inflammation reduce the size of the

prostate and allow urine flow to improve

or reduce inflammation for those with

chronic prostatitis I remember the

prostate massager we talked about it on

our video about anal sex yes and sex

toys we were talking about how you can

purchase a prostate massager and that

you can't overdo it so be careful with

those but in contrast to using a

massager typically the prostate massage

that's been recommended by a physician

for medical condition it's much more

gentle uh because there's already

inflammation present and that's

something you want to be aware of if you

are trying to proceed with your own type

of massage you want to be very gentle

especially at first um to make sure you

don't over inflame or or over aggravate

the prostate start slow gradually

absolutely that's the way to do things

in medicine

yes absolutely and in contrast anal sex

the activity involving the penal

penetration of the anus and rectum is

going to secondarily stimulate or

massage the prostate but that's

typically not the goal and so you're

going to see less effects if that is

your strategy in trying to uh massage

the prostate in that capacity that being

said both are effective ways in their

own right of massaging the prostate you

just want to understand what your goal

is with that and if you are looking to

medically improve some sort of prostate

diagnosis talk to your doctor first to

make sure both anal sex and massaging

your prostate are safe and healthy for

you to proceed with they're similar but

they're different yeah exactly last but

not least what are the steps to

successfully massage the prate I thought

you'd never ask well first and foremost

you want to consult with your doctor and

make sure that it is an appropriate

activity for you especially if you have

prostate concerns or prostate conditions

so after you get the approval step step

two is of course preparing yourself you

want to wash your hands thoroughly as it

typically involves using a finger you

can use a glove if you prefer and you

want to make sure that if you're not

using a glove or maybe even if you are

that your nails are cut short because

you don't want to damage the internal

lining and then you want to consider

lubricant because you certainly want to

make sure that there's less friction

involved and that it's a pleasurable

activity for your partner or the person

that you are helping out with this

process you want to then take this step

of encouraging your partner to relax

explain what you're going to do which

will be the next step of course

inserting and so you want to try and

find the prostate it's about 2 to 3 in

into the rectum and you want to go kind

of frontwards you should feel again that

like Walnut size kind of firm organ

there and then you want to slowly and

gently apply pressure typically in a

circular motion or a back and forth

movement are both going to be

pleasurable and gentle enough to reduce

tension or inflammation of the prostate

you will of course then want to check in

with your partner to make sure that they

are guiding you and enjoying the process

but you're done you're in there and of

course once things are complete or you

have finished the job make sure you

clean up well give yourself a pad on the

back high-five each other and then maybe

switch it and have the other person take

a turn incredible thank you yeah so now

you have learned the ins and outs of how

the prostate massage can impact your

prostate health how anal sex May may

prostate and now you know how to massage
