QUESTION: I have read about the benefits of milking the prostate as a preventative best practice for prostate problems as well as being sexually satisfying.
I want to know if milking (massage of) the prostate gland is safe for someone who has had External Beam Radiation Treatment for prostate cancer (2 years ago)?
ANSWER: Hi Glen,
First of all, I want to remind you that to give an exact answer, I should have your medical record. In lack of that data, I can only give general advice as following:
If it is already 2 years that you have undergone external beam radiation treatment, to my judgement, you can go for external prostate massage, where the help of your doctor is a must.
However, if you decide for prostate milking, please let your urologist know to get his specialized opinion for the reasons mentioned above. Please do not take my advice as your exact option as I do not have your medical data.
One last thing I want to remind you: Be careful in every action you take with your prostate gland.
All the best!
Dr.Alba
