The Prostate Picture Page


-- What is the value of a prostate picture? --

"One picture is worth ten thousand words."
- Chinese proverb

"One look is worth a thousand words."
- Frederick R. Barnard, 1921




A Picture Of The Prostate Gland
Is Also Worth A Thousand Words!

Those famous quotes became famous because they were true.

These two pages are here to help you get an image (or a better image) of what your prostate gland looks like.

These prostate pictures are here to aid you in your prostate healing process.

The pictures and diagrams will show you:

  • Where your prostate gland is
  • How it looks
  • What it is connected to
  • What a normal and an enlarged gland look like


Helping Yourself Regain
Prostate Health

The human mind is a powerful tool. Many health practitioners believe that it can be very helpful to visualize what your massage treatment is doing while you are massaging. I agree.

Study after study has shown that people who confidently visualize their body healing have a much higher success rate than those who do not. This  prostate picture diagram series can help you do just that.

They can help you visualize your gland shrinking, the urethra opening so that you can pee freely. You can imagine your gland losing it's inflammation and returning to normal size and shape....

Do not dismiss visualization as some mumbo jumbo. It has proven to be an effective aid with every disease know.

Study each picture and diagram. Keep a picture of a healthy normal gland, as well as a normal health sexual/urinary system, in mind while you are doing your massage, milking or exercise. See your own gland returning to this ideal as you massage it.

Also picture this each time you pee or feel any discomfort there what so ever. Each time picture yourself healing a little more. Little by little day by day.

By keeping a picture of a truly healthy gland in mind and by envisioning the result you want, you can help your body heal more easily and more quickly.


The Prostate Pictures and Diagrams

sexual and urinary system diagram


This is a nice simple detailed diagram of our (male) sexual and urinary apparatus. For effective massage, milking or exercise results it is not necessary to learn all the parts inside of the gland.

This prostate picture diagram gives you a good idea of where your gland is located and how it sits in your body in relationship to the other parts that function with it.



BPH and Inflammation

normal and enlarged prostate picture diagram


Although the tissue change is different for BPH (growth)  and inflammation (swelling), the size increase can cause the same problems: reduced urine flow (slow stream) and frequent need to pass small amounts of urine.

BPH itself is rarely painful because the growth is slow. It can, however, progress to the point of actually cutting off Urine flow. That is a painful medical emergency and should be treated as such.

Inflammation from prostatitis, in my experience, has not completely cut the urine flow off (though it possibly could). That again would be a medical emergency that should be handled immediately.


Swelling from inflammation, however  does often happen rather quickly. This is what causes most of the intense pain associated with prostatitis. You can also have the pain from irritation of internal toxins.

But, the rapid swelling tries to stretch the outer covering (fascia) of the gland beyond it's ability to stretch.Once the gland shrinks again, the pain subsides and goes away.

Just like when you get shin splints. It's the same situation. And both can be extremely painful.



The Digital Rectal Exam

digital rectal exam and prostate milking


This prostate picture and the two diagrams are of what your doctor is doing when he is performing a digital rectal exam. "Digitial" simply means: with a digit (a finger).

He is reaching in with a finger to feel your prostate. He feels for:

  • Size
  • Shape
  • Hardness or softness
  • Lumps and tumors


A basic diagnosis of your prostate condition can often be made from just these findings.

This is also what  a prostate masssage or a prostate milking with another persons finger would look like.

You'll notice that the massage, the milking, and the digital rectal exam all look the same.

The reason for this is that the most direct contact can be made with the prostate gland this way.

Here are complete free instructions for performing:

  • Prostate Milking



Self Prostate Massage

This is a picture of one type of self prostate massage. It is not the most effective way to reach your prostate gland. Even if you have long fingers, you will probably only be able to reach the base of your gland.

Self prostate massage can be all the massaging your prostate gland needs. It is not usually necessary to seek out a professional unless you are just unable to effectively reach your anal area yourself.

You will find how to most effectively do an internal prostate massage in the link above (Internal Prostate Massage).



External Prostate Massage

The external prostate massage picture


Here is a prostate picture of the External Prostate Massage. This picture shows you the area where you will find and be able to reach the gland from outside your body.

A healthy gland is about the size of a walnut. You will be able to feel it through your stomach wall if there is not too much fat there.

If the gland is inflamed or sore, you will notice it right away when you touch it this way.

I hope this prostate picture page will help speed you on your way to great  prostate health and a pain free gland!
