Urethral massage. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
Urethral massage is often performed on men, which often causes a lot of complexes and boundless embarrassment in males, but it is one of the most effective methods of treating a disease such as urethritis. In women, urethral massage is done in the same cases, but the method of its implementation differs, based on the specific structure of the genitourinary system.
Procedure
Preparation
Before inserting a metal rod (bougie) into the urethra, the urethra is treated with a solution specially designed for this purpose - chlorhexidine. Then the same solution is introduced into the bladder cavity.
The process of performing urethral massage
Urethral massage takes place in several stages:
- the patient lies on his back;
- the doctor performing the massage must wear rubber gloves;
- a rod (bougie) is inserted into the front part of the urethra, which the doctor holds with his left hand, fixing the object in the required position, and with his right hand makes massage and stroking movements from the base of the penis to its head;
- after 30-60 seconds of such stroking (the average amount of time required for a massage), the patient is asked to repeat the procedure in one or two days.
Urethral massage in women is performed by massaging the urethra with the finger of the doctor, who he inserts into the vagina.
Rehabilitation period
After the massage procedure, the urethra is washed again with the same antiseptic solution.

Urethral massage is indicated in the following cases:

Massage of the urethra is performed in many institutions. Prices for the procedure depend on the chosen clinic and range from 300 to 2000 rubles. You can choose a suitable medical center and make an appointment with a urologist and gynecologist online on the website .
