Understanding Prostate Fluid
The prostate is an important part of the male reproductive system and also has an effect on the urinary system due to its location adjacent to the urinary bladder. Because of this, understanding the basics of prostate health will ensure that you keep happy and healthy, without many of the discomforts that can come from prostate problems. Understanding the function of the prostate as well as some of the most common ailments of it will allow you to take better care of your prostate's health. The main function of the prostate gland is to secret prostate fluid, which composes a large portion of semen, including giving it the milky white color which is characteristic of it. The prostate also has smooth muscle tissue surrounding it which helps the body to expel the prostate fluid during intercourse.
The buildup of prostate fluid during prolonged sexual stimulation without ejaculation can result in a painful condition, which is temporary but can be resolved with ejaculation or, just as common wisdom has seemed to dictate, a cold shower. Too much alcohol in the system and some sexual activities can lead to a similar condition, where the buildup of prostate fluid is so great that it causes the prostate to swell, causing problems such as frequent urination due to pressure on the bladder.
Prostate Massage
In some cases, prostate massage is required as a treatment for some ailments of the prostate, particularly in chronic prostatitis, the inflammation of the prostate gland. Similar to a digital rectal examination, it requires the sufferer to have a finger inserted into the rectum, and the prostate, which is located next to the rectum, is then massaged by light stimulation, no more than the amount of pressure used to rub your eye, for example. This massage results in a discharge of prostate fluid, with or without an accompanying orgasm.
While this same procedure is used in some sexual practices as well as for the medical removal of prostate fluid, it's also important to know that if too much pressure is used, particularly in those suffering from prostatitis, negative results may be achieved, such as blood poisoning. Recently studies have shown that the use of prostate massage to remove excess prostate fluid does not improve treatment over antibiotics alone, as it was once thought. Understanding how prostate massage works and the results of a buildup of prostate fluid can help you to know how to handle the occasional soreness in that area. With a little care and knowledge of your prostate, you can keep yourself healthy and pain-free.
