Does Masturbation Reduce The Risk Of Prostate Cancer?

Depending on the studies you look at you can find evidence for masturbation to decrease one’s risk of developing prostate cancer, and then other studies show just the opposite. From what some of the studies are saying, young men who masturbate daily in their 20s and 30s may actually increase their risk of having prostate cancer later on in their lives. Studies have also shown the opposite is true for men in their 50s. Studies showed that masturbation in a man’s 40s had little effect on a man’s likelihood to develop prostate cancer. The studies also showed that men who masturbated in their 50s were less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Studies

Studies were also done on men who had unprotected sex with different partners throughout their lives. The studies showed that men with prostate cancer were more likely to have had sexually transmitted diseases. In one of the studies 40 percent of the men admitted to having sex or masturbating at least 20 times per month. The same test showed that 31 percent of men with prostate cancer had sex or masturbated at least 10 times per month. Other studies have shown that masturbation in the 20s and 30s decreased a man’s risk for prostate cancer, so one would have to wonder which tests are more likely to shed light on the risks or benefits of masturbation in relation to prostate cancer.

Prostate Massage

It is believed that milking one’s prostate is beneficial to preventing prostate cancer. As a man ages, fats and proteins can build up within vessels of the prostate, which can cause pain and discomfort. If you have pain in your prostate, your doctor may suggest that you do a prostate massage. Prostate massage relieves pain, and can clear the prostate of impurities. An added plus associated with prostate massage is that it can greatly improve your sex life. In some countries, young boys are taught how to massage their prostates to maintain prostate health.

How to do prostate massage

The male can massage his own prostate, but it can be done with a partner also. Another name for prostate massage is “prostate milking.” Prostate massage can be done daily as part of male health, or it can be done as part of sexual foreplay. It is important to have a bowel movement before doing prostate massage, so that the rectal vault isn’t full of feces. With a gloved finger, you can insert your finger into your rectum and feel for the prostate. If you find it difficult to do, you can ask your partner to do it for you. With gentle pressure massage the prostate on the outer edges and in the center. The prostate is the organ that manufactures seminal fluid. When your prostate is being massaged, you are likely to have an orgasm and ejaculate. By milking the prostate with prostate massage, you will be ridding the prostate of the fats and proteins that accumulate in the vessels and capillaries.

Annual checkups

One of the best ways to decrease your risk of prostate cancer is to have regular checkups with your doctor to have a PSA test done. The PSA test is a test to spot prostate-specific antigen in the blood stream. The doctor should also do a digital rectal exam annually. Your doctor may be busy and not think of doing a digital exam, so you might need to remind him/her that you would like to be checked.

Lifestyle

Lifestyle is a very important part of decreasing your risk of getting prostate cancer. It is important to change to a low fat diet. People who have prostate cancer are often people who have been eating a higher fat diet. It is important to watch your calories, eat moderate portions, and engage in moderate exercise regularly. It is also important to eat more fish and use healthy oils in your diet that contain Omega-3 fatty acids.
