Frequent ejaculation, whether it happens during sexual intercourse,masturbation, or a dream, isn''''t likely to increase the risk of prostate cancer. Actually, it is found that it may have the opposite effect and can help protect prostate.
Some researchers say it''''s too early to recommend that men change their sexual habits in order to reduce their prostate cancer risk. However, the study raises questions about the role of ejaculation and sexual behavior in the development of prostate cancer.
Previous studies have linked frequent sexual activity to a higher risk of prostate cancer, but this new, large study found ejaculation frequency was not associated with prostate cancer risk except in the highest category. Men who ejaculated most often actually had a 33% lower lifetime risk of prostate cancer, and this relationship grew stronger as men grew older.
For example, men who reported 21 or more ejaculations per month in their 40s had a 32% lower risk of prostate cancer later in life compared with those who reported several times of ejaculations per month. Men who reported more than 21 monthly ejaculations in the previous year had a 51% lower risk of prostate cancer.
Overall, an average of 21 or more ejaculations a month during a man''''s lifetime decreased the risk of prostate cancer later in life by 33%. And each increase of three ejaculations per week during a man''''s lifetime was associated with a 15% reduction in prostate cancer risk.
In prostatitis treatment, ejaculation can help prostate release and relax. Having intercourses regularly with condoms in treatment is good for prostatitis patients. On the opposite, holding the feeling of ejaculation is bad for men''''s health. <br>
