Perimom Perineal Massage Tool

Product Information

The prostate is sometimes called the male g-spot, or the p-spot, a reference to the area inside the vagina, called the g-spot, that may lead to orgasm. A perineal massage focuses on the perineum - the area between the vaginal opening and the anus - with the aim of stretching the perineum and making it more elastic to reduce the risk of tearing during childbirth. Why you should try perineal massage Prostate massage to the point of orgasm is also sometimes recommended as an alternative treatment for prostatitis, a condition that means the prostate is inflamed. Draining fluid from the prostate ducts can help to relieve pressure. There has even been some research into the effectiveness of an at-home device for prostate massage, particularly in the case of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a type of prostate inflammation that can happen as men age and can cause pain or trouble peeing.

Lieuallen E et al 2014. Does third trimester antenatal perineal massage improve perineal outcomes for vaginal delivery?

Some don’t need any intervention. Others will require stitches (which dissolve on their own over time). A first-degree tear is a small injury in the first layer of tissue around the vagina’s perineal area. A fourth-degree tear is the most severe and extends from your vaginathrough your rectum. Does perineal massage work? As you massage the insides of the vagina, you will feel the skin outside of the vagina stretching. Use gentle pressure as you massage the perineum. Focus on the rhythmic motions of the fingers and breathe in and out deeply to relax and stretch the muscles. It’s normal to feel a slight burning sensation during the first few tries. But the massage shouldn’t be painful. Abbott, R., & Hui, K. (2015). Perineal Self-Acupressure’s Mechanism of Action. Journal of General Internal Medicine, 30(4), 399. Pouring warm water over the outer area of your vagina as you pee may also help ease the discomfort.

3. Lubricate your perineum

What and where is the perineum?The perineum is the small area of firm skin and muscular tissue between the vagina and the anus. The perineum plays a significant role in women’s health. This muscular tissue connects with pelvic floor muscles, offering support to the pelvic organs. It works extra hard in pregnancy due to the extra weight it bears. Tearing of the perineum during childbirth can weaken this support, making later pelvic floor problems or prolapse of the uterus more likely. Keep the cut and the surrounding area clean to prevent infection. After going to the toilet, pour warm water over your vaginal area to rinse it. High Island Health's prostate massager isn't for everybody. Specifically, it's not designed for men over six feet tall. Ultimately, it’s too short to reach the prostate for men over six feet tall, and our testing confirmed this. Testers over six feet tall found it somewhat difficult to use and could not induce orgasm without the addition of penile stimulation. Still, they make excellent selections for men under six feet. Men over six feet tall make up less than 15% of the U.S. male population, according to Malcom Gladwell. 17 And the average height among U.S. males calculated in 2016 was just under 5’9”. So, for 85% of the male population, the PS950 should work just fine. 18 Easing pain during birth crowningFor many women planning a natural birth, the thing they are most afraid of is the discomfort associated with crowning,which is when your baby's head starts to emerge bit by bit during each contraction, sometimes giving a stinging sensation. Gently stretching the perineum during the last few weeks of pregnancy will encourage the perineum to stretch more easily when the baby is crowning. Any toy you use should be made of nonporous, body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, or lucite. Importantly, “[A prostate toy] must have a flared base so it doesn’t slip inside,” says Dr. Queen. And be sure to use lube, as the anus doesn’t self-lubricate. The best prostate massagers

You can do the massage in several positions; semi-sitting, squatting against a wall, or standing with one foot raised and resting on the bath, toilet or a chair. In their research [13], Labrecque, M., E. Eason, et al. concluded that: “Based on the results of this pilot study, a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of perineal massage in preventing perineal trauma at birth appears feasible.” The study examined 174 women who were 32 to 34 weeks pregnant. “Twenty (91.0%) of the 22 women in the massage group returned their perineal massage diaries. Based on the postpartum questionnaire, 20 women practiced the technique at least four times a week for three weeks or longer. ” Which oil is best to use for perineal massage?Nourishing plant oils would be the number one choice, free from potentially irritating artificial additives.
