Rectal Wand to Reduce Prostate Inflammation?

Post by critthinker »

Has anyone tried this?

http://www.ruddclinic.com/patientinfo15.html

I know it doesn't list prostate inflammation on there, but I'm curious as to whether it could work in reducing prostate swelling that accompanies CPPS.

Evidence seems flimsy (there are references to worldwide controlled trials, but I can't seem to find any specific studies), but it seems somewhat intuitive that this could help.

Thoughts?
