Prostate stimulation and medication
Q: Dr. McCormick, I’ve been suffering from chronic prostatitis. I’m taking medication, and I’m wondering if there are any contraindications when using a prostate massager while taking medication. I heard that prostate stimulation may help a lot, but I am in doubt.
A: There are no contraindications to prostatitis medications, and in fact, it can help you in ways that medicine oftentimes cannot, by improving both bladder and sexual functioning. For all users of prostate massagers, I recommend using good hygiene both before and after use. Always wash your hands for at least thirty seconds with soap and warm water. Also make sure that you clean the device thoroughly after use. These practices will help to avoid any types of disruptions to your normal life, whether you are on medication or not; in fact, using a prostate stimulator may very well enhance your life.
