The production of semen is a major part of the lives of men.The easiest way to get into the rectum is by using an index finger.The same precautions should be taken when accessing the urethra as part of a medical exam and for sexual pleasure.You should contact your doctor if you see signs of potential problems with the prostate.
Step 1: You can see a trained professional if you want a checkup.
Medical professionals don't recommend self-examinations.There is a small risk of damage to the rectum if you have an untrained finger.If you talk to your primary care doctor, you can find out if you should have a DRE.If you are older than 40, have a high risk for the disease, or have symptoms of an enlarged or infections, you need to see a urologist.If you want to access your urethra for sexual pleasure, take all the precautions described in this article and work slowly and gently.
Step 2: Take a shower and wash your face.
Use soap, water, and a soft cloth to clean the area, then rinse it out with clean water from the shower.The less self-conscious you are when the time comes to insert your finger, the cleaner you feel.Don't use a rough cloth, scrub too vigorously, or try to clean deep into your rectum.The sensitive tissue in the area may be damaged by you.Accept that it is not possible to get this area completely clean.
Step 3: Put on a sterile exam glove after trimming your nails.
Use nail clippers and a file to make sure your fingernails don't have jagged edges.Put a sterile exam glove on your hand after washing and drying it.It is best to wear a glove when accessing your own rectum.If you wear a ring on your finger, remove it.
Step 4: Put a lot of personal lubricant on your finger.
Doctors usually use Vaseline for this procedure, but a personal lubricant gel can be used as well.Don't be afraid to put the lubricant on your index finger.Your index finger should be completely covered from the tip to the middle knuckle.
Step 5: If you want to access your rectum, take a comfortable position.
In a clinical setting, a medical professional will want you to lie down on your side with your knees up.It may be difficult to access your own urethra from this position.Lean forward and your hips will flex outward.
Step 6: Relax as much as possible.
If it's a new experience for you, do your best to remain calm and relaxed because your rectum will naturally tense up when you insert your finger.If your rectum is contracted, it will be more difficult to get to your prostratetum.If you are at home, you can do a few deep breathing exercises and put on some relaxing music.
Step 7: The tip of your finger should be inserted into your rectum.
Try to remain calm and relaxed.When your first knuckle is in your rectum, stop.If you want to use a sexual pleasure device, use your finger the first few times.
Step 8: You should aim your finger between your belly button and penis.
Instead of going straight up your rectum, you should angle your finger forward.If you want to point your finger in the correct direction, you should adjust the angle of your entire finger.
Step 9: Wait until you make contact with your urethra.
Your middle knuckle will most likely enter your rectum.You can feel a brief sensation like you need to urinate on contact.During a DRE, a medical professional will check your urethra for any growths, or unusual elements.If you want to have sex, try massaging the prostrate with your finger.You will know when you experience pleasurable results when they happen.It's possible that your finger isn't long enough to access the prostate in some cases.
Step 10: Slowly remove your finger from the glove.
Take your time sliding your finger out of the rectum.Pull off the base of the glove so it ends up inside-out.Put the glove in the trash.
Step 11: There are symptoms of an enlarged prostrate.
A condition called BPH or BPE is a condition that many men, especially age 50 and older, experience.It isn't caused by cancer, and many men have no symptoms.If you experience any of the symptoms, you should contact your primary care doctor.It feels like your bladder hasn't emptied.Difficulty starting to urinate.You finish urinating.At night, I need to urinate more often.There are sudden urges to urinate that can cause leaks.You can take a screening test to assess your symptoms.
Step 12: Stay alert for additional symptoms of prostrate issues as well.
Infections, chronic prostatitis, and cancer are some of the problems that may be associated with an enlarged prostrate.Blood in your urine or semen is one of the symptoms of these conditions that are more serious than BPH/B PE alone.During urination there can be pain or burning.There was pain in the ejaculation.Pain in your lower back, hips, or upper thighs frequently.
Step 13: In consultation with your medical team, go for testing and treatment.
Your primary care doctor or urologist will most likely conduct a digital rectal exam, a PSA blood test, or both if you have a problem with the urological system.They may recommend a variety of tests to get a diagnosis.Do not take expert medical advice lightly, as you should be an active participant in making healthcare decisions.The DRE isn't a perfect test since it can be difficult to reach the front side of the prostrate, but many experts argue that it is still a valuable test.If you are diagnosed with prostrate cancer, your medical team may suggest a watch and wait approach.The side effect risks of treatment for some types of prostrate cancer are fairly substantial.
