Would it be harmful to use a prostate massager tool when you have bph and a very mild case of prostate cancer?
Ask a doctor. I don't know medically if it would, but I don't imagine it would effect the cancer on a cellular level. But I'm a highschool dropout, so ask your doctor. I would say that it is very foolish - what if in massaging the prostate a few cancer cells came loose, got into your blood stream and metastasized? And "a very mild case of cancer" - this does not sound very medical or accurate. Alternative answer: As you described your condition, in softer words, I would advise that you talk with your attending doctor. With the combination of BPH and prostate cancer (in any stage of growth), prostate massage is ill advised. There are far more complications with massage than the scope of this board abilities to answer. For a general informational note, BPH in its self has a tremendous hazard potential when the prostate is massaged, as does the cancer's ability to metastasis if massaged. Studies have shown the prostate massage is more of a sexual stimulus and has no medical benefits, and should never be used in either case of BPH or cancer of the prostate.
