I’m only 32 and I’m thinking about getting it done! What do you think?

I don’t think it would cause prostate cancer, but you can strain your balls

My husband recently told me for the past year he’s been having trouble peeing – It wouldn’t start when he felt he had to go and once it did begin, it hurt. I asked him hurt how? and he said kind of like peeing razor blades. His dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006, and the doctor instructed my husband to get checked when he turned 30 because this could be hereditary. Also, he’s currently experiencing a lot of pain in his scrotal area – The right side was swollen last night when he got home from work, and he said he felt like he had pulled a groin muscle (was almost limping) – Is it possible it could be cancer? Or are we over paranoid?

NO YOU ARE NOT PARANOID – Has he been to a doctor for a psa and rectal exam. I would think he should. I have had prostate problems since I was 19 and believe me it is not fun. Mainly with pain in his scrotum – he should be examined. If it turns out just prostatitus I can tell you a remedy after some antibiotics that you both can work on or if he has to do like me and take care of it himself and that is to have sex on a regular basis. Same days every week – the medical reason being that the prostate generates fluid to be passed when ejaculation occurs. It builds this fluid supply on a routine basis. If this is not used there is an overabundance so this builds pressure in the prostate causeing swelling. The urethra passes thru the prostate and the flow of urine is affected causeing low flow, not emptying creating the urge to go more. I took control of mine by masturbating the same two days every week (Tuesday & Friday) cause my wife didn’t want sex. Are you gonna tell him this? I hope so cause that hurts like heck. Good luck.

No. The only study that’s even close to this shows that men who masturbate or have sex at least 5 times a week have been shown to reduce their chances of prostate cancer by up to 30%. Stopping masturbating won’t cause it, but it doesn’t help either.

My fiance just had surgery to get both testicules removed due to testicular cancer. He had surgey 12-04.. is it too early or is it ok to start back up? It’s late and can’t speak to his dr until tmrrw.

“PSA allows us to detect prostate cancer several years before that nodule would develop, at a much earlier stage, and therefore at a much more curable stage.” Drs. Schlegel (Department Chairman) and Tewari of Cornell Urology discuss the application of PSA tests, digital rectum exams, and other approaches that enable urologists to diagnose prostate cancer earlier. A family history of prostate cancer and the implications relative to a diagnosis of prostate cancer is also discussed. The need to receive a PDA and at what age is also covered by one of the leading prostate cancer researchers.

Right now I’m 16 and not sexually active. I’ve yet to masturbate as I’ve found other ways to replace my time. Now I want to stay healthy, and what not and I’m pretty sure getting testicular or prostate cancer is kinda going the other way.

So my question is by masturbating does it only lower the chance by a low margin? Or is it big enough to where if you don’t your just signing your own death warrant?

Other factors come into play, but masturbation (and later sex) can reduce the incidents of testicular and prostate cancer
