The massage is carried out with the index finger through the rectal wall. In this case, the patient gets on all fours, leaning on the surface of the couch with his elbows and knees. The doctor puts on a glove, lubricates the finger with lubricant and injects it to a depth of 4-5 cm. On average, the procedure lasts 5 minutes. The course usually consists of 10-15 procedures, they are held at intervals of 2-3 days.

In the SILK Medical clinic, prostate massage is carried out by experienced specialists. Prior to this procedure, a man is consulted by a urologist-andrologist. This is important because there are some contraindications. For example, prostate massage can not be performed with acute prostatitis and malignant neoplasms. The doctor carefully assesses the patient’s condition and prescribes the optimal course of procedures.
