aneros prostate massager

by hockeyfan13, Jun 15, 2009 07:23PM
Hello. I've been thinking about purchasing the aneros prostate massager and I was wondering if those are safe to use.  According to the tests I've had done in the past year, it seems like i have mild prostatitis which is non-bacterial. My prostate checked out fine, PSA levels were normal and I had a CT scan done along with a bone scan and nothing abnormal was found. Please let me know if it would be good to use the aneros massager in order to help my condition.

Thanks

Hi,
The prostate massager should be used with care due to the sensitivity of the prostate. The adverse effect which can occur with the use of the prostate massager is that the presence of small stones/calculi in the prostate can lead to a damage of the prostatic membranes. Since your CT scan doesn’t show anything serious, I don’t think you should have many problems.
Hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind Regards.

Hi Dr. Singh

Thanks for the reply back. I just wanted a bit more explanation about the comment you made about the adverse effect of the massager with the presence of the stones/calculi in the prostate. I'm assuming if I had calculi in the prostate, the CT scan would have picked that up. Please let me know. Also, is it true that using a prostate massager is healty for the prostate.

Thanks

Hi,

I would use caution with something like that. Currently I have ended up with a hole (fistula) between my prostate and rectum. I believe that the mentioned area should not have excessive stimulation.
I have had prostatitis since about 1994. Just when I used a riding mower or our tractor, I end up with a lot of discomfort in the prostate and rectum.

All the best,

Ron
