Many people know about the benefits of massage as a tool for relieving tension in the body, improving lymph flow and blood circulation. But the effect of the procedure on men's health remains underestimated. And in vain! Regular massage not only relieves stress, but also restores hormonal balance in men, which is critically important for erectile function. In this article, we will talk about how exactly massage affects erection and how to do it correctly.
The Effectiveness of Massage for Men's Health
Massage has a healing, strengthening and rejuvenating effect on the human body. In men, this procedure improves general well-being, improves blood circulation (mainly in the pelvic area) and maintains potency. Increased blood flow to the genitals increases the duration of erection.
According to a study conducted by the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dysfunction in France, combining pelvic floor muscle training with pelvic massage improves erectile function.
In addition, massage relaxes muscles, eliminates tension and clamps, reduces stress levels, which often cause problems with potency. Regular massage procedures reduce anxiety and emotional arousal, which also has a positive effect on men's health.
The use of massage devices stimulates the secretion of hormones of happiness and pleasure (endorphins, serotonin) and reduces the level of the stress hormone (cortisol). Acupressure is especially useful, during which acupuncture points on the body responsible for prostate health are activated. Acupressure restores the functioning of the genitourinary system, improves erection, and increases a man's self-confidence.
How to do massage correctly?
Correct performance of massage allows you to achieve the maximum effect from the procedure:
- First, it is recommended to perform a relaxing massage of the lower back, sacrum and back. For this, it is better to use a massager . It is in these areas that the nerve endings associated with sexual function in men pass. Smooth circular movements warm up the muscles and improve blood circulation.
- Gradually, you can move on to massaging the groin area and lower abdomen. Impact on these areas of the body stimulates blood flow in the genital and perineal areas, reduces the risk of congestion in the pelvic area, which also has a positive effect on erectile function and potency.
It is important that the man feels comfortable during the massage. There should be no pain, tension or muscle compression. If such symptoms appear, it is better to stop the procedure and consult a specialist.
Are there any restrictions to massage?
Despite the numerous benefits of massage for men's health, it is important to remember the existing contraindications. After all, even a useful procedure can be harmful in some cases. Massage is not recommended in the following cases:
- hemorrhoids — if hemorrhoids are inflamed, massage can worsen the condition;
- prostatitis — in case of inflammation of the prostate gland, the procedure will increase the severity of clinical manifestations;
- genitourinary infections — massage for such diseases worsens the condition and reduces the effectiveness of treatment;
- Urolithiasis — the presence of stones in the kidneys or bladder can stimulate their movement, which will cause pain.
Before your first session, you should consult with a doctor who will advise you on which type of massage is most suitable for your particular case.
