Is It Possible That Frequent Masturbation Gives Rise To Prostatitisï¼
Written by Wuhan Dr.Lee's TCM Clinic
"Doctor, can masturbating too often lead to prostatitis?" This is a question frequently asked by male friends in the hospital. Andrology expert explains, this is a problem that should be considered dialectically.
On the one hand, when a male does not ejaculate for a long time, the seminal vesicle will remain in a state of full and high tension. On the other hand, a man with normal sexual development will inevitably have frequent sexual impulses, and the reproductive system can also change with each sexual impulse.
The prostate gland and seminal vesicle have a high degree of congestion when the man is in a state of sexual arousal. They will return to normal state after ejaculation. The same is true for patients with prostatitis. Accordingly, having no ejaculation behavior completely just goes against the elimination of prostatitis.
Modern medical experts and sexual psychologists believe that normal masturbation has a certain positive significance. In a sense, it can be seen as a sexual life of husband and wife. Therefore, for unmarried male patients with prostatitis or married patients without sexual life for a certain period due to long-term separation, business trips, divorce and other reasons, appropriate masturbation is beneficial.
In the same way, frequent masturbation is like frequent sexual intercourse, which can make the prostate gland congestive for a long period. In this situation, the normal secretion of the prostate gland and the excretion function will be seriously affected, which can become a common cause of prostatitis.
Additionally, male friends who often masturbate privately can easily get excited and nervous, and they may stop the masturbation abruptly due to the changes of the surroundings. It is adverse to the ejaculation effect and can trigger repeated congestion in the prostate gland and seminal vesicle, accompanied by venous blood siltation at times. Frequent discontinuation of masturbation can easily induce the prostatitis that is hard to cure as well as seminal vesiculitis.
As a consequence, male friends must realize that as long as they control a certain frequency of masturbation, there is no need to worry about that masturbation will give rise to prostatitis. And actually, moderate masturbation can also help to discharge the prostatic fluid and relieve the blood stasis in the prostate gland, which has a certain positive significance to the protection and restoration of the prostate function.
As for the treatment of prostatitis, male friends must get treated in time after they are diagnosed with it. Usually, medication is necessary for patients and herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is often recommended to male friends with urogenital inflammations. It has a great effect on eliminating bacteria and inflammations, which can help patients better get rid of prostatitis as well as seminal vesiculitis.
