A member asked:
I've been reading that a prostate massage can help hemorrhoids...is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What are U reading?: The mechanism of hemorrhoid development (see past healthtap answers) has little to do with the prostate. Therefore, mechanical and prolonged digital massage of the prostate may serve other purposes but should have little positive impact on hemorrhoids. Are you sure your problem is really hemorrhoids? And, more to the point, find another source of medical information please.
