Masturbation Prevents Prostate Cancer? Doctor explains link between ejaculation and prostate health 

My Doctor told me I had to stop masturbating. I asked him "why Doctor? Why". He replied: "because I'm trying to examine you".

True story, at 52 years old, I basically stopped performing the acts of physical abuse. After an annual blood draw showed elevated levels in my PSA test. Doc performed a biopsy, which was "not" pleasant. I went back to doing , you know what, and on my next blood draw, my PSA levels were back to normal. It goes to show you. A working prostate is a healthy prostate. 😉 Don't forget a healthy diet and regular exercise. 😊

Proud to say I’m looking after my prostate, daily. Sometimes twice

I’m not going to die of prostate cancer then

All your listeners here will live for ever.

This information is refreshing....to hear a Doctor speak honestly and be truthful about men's health.👍

'No harm in working on your number'. Sounds like a line from a comedy routine

I was a pharma rep and at on time promoted an LHRH product for prostate cancer. This goes a few years back. Sometimes I would ask the Urologists if they thought frequent ejaculation raised or lowered the risk of men for prostate cancer. The answer I always got after some pondering was, reduced.

Now I know my future looks brighter and I’ll live longer

I agree with what you said. I have known of at least two priests who died of prostrate cancer.

I "discovered" masturbation when I was 18, needless to say, I did it very often and for the most part, ejaculation was very good. Somewhere along, I heard that masturbation and ejaculation can possibly prevent prostate cancer, and I felt good after learning that. After the age of 55 - 57, I really noticed a decrease in my semen, and I thought that it was just old age. At the age of 64, I was diagnosed with the first signs of prostate cancer, and my doctor and I agreed on Active Surveillance for a while. Now with my next check-up in late March, I believe things have changed, it's time.

Been cranking it since third grade. My prostate is VERY small but active. Feels amazing

I don't think so I been doing this for years and I still got prostate cancer.

I masturbated almost daily, since I was around 12 years of age. That was 65 years ago!...In my30s, I began to slow down the frequency, and now, at 77, I indulge about twice a week.. And guess what...I had prostate cancer spotted at age 70, and had radiation treatment..the PSA is low and stable now. My point is, this type of cancer is likely genetic--on my mom's side, both her dad, and his son, had prostate cancer...My grandpa died from it, 70 years ago...my uncle had the surgery in his mid-50s, and lived to the age of 90. On my dad's side of the family, neither he, or his three brothers had prostate issues. So yeah, this type of cancer is mostly genetic...and my prolific masturbation over my life did not prevent my getting it...but maybe it slowed the development? My advice is...get that PSA test every year, like I have done, starting in your mid-forties. My test results slowly went up, for about 10 years, after the age of 60. The radiation treatments were no big deal, quite easy, and after that, I have continued to occasionally "varnish the cane"!

Based on my lifetime (especially aged 13-15), l'm bound not to die for at least 200 years.😂

I better start my treatment immediately!

Sadly, I'm in charge of the "smaller" study😢

This is the greatest news since the sticky fingers album

It's like smoking cigarettes. Some people can smoke til they're 80 and still be fine, while some die due to lung cancer.

Obviously all of the commenters are happy with the overall findings. On a serious note, is there any studies on emotional, mental, and relationship impact from frequent masturbation?

I have nothing to worry about.

Yikes, it's either run the risk of going blind or getting prostae cancer

Sounds like a fun study.

My high school friend never did it because he was very religious and doesn't get prostate cancer, he is now 62 yrs old.

Good to know! At least I’m doing something as part of a healthier lifestyle. I still get the annual PSA and Dr Goldfinger tests, just to be on the safe side.

For a minute there. I thought the title was "Doctor explains link between ejaculation and prostate CANCER." LMAO you SCARED me

I got tennis elbow now 🤔😜😂

Great ! My Dr never tell me like you did. Thanks for made me understand.

What a bunch of nonsense! I've been doing that since I was a kid, STILL had prostate cancer and surgery to remove it!! Don't believe what you see here!! So much nonsense!

Did not help me one bit. Get your psa done boys..

5 times a week. Damn, I’m not in High School anymore 😢

I did a lot anf had prostatic cancer all depends upon your Adn my father family all men had my mother side nobody had

Thank you doctor for sharing this. Can you do a video of the benefits of saw palmetto and can it help in chronic prostatitis? 2 months ago I finished the cycle of antibiotic and now I have to retake another for 3 weeks. Thank you hope to watch more of your videos soon!

Didn't work for me. Still ended up with prostate cancer.

I'm going to live forever!

For every positive there’s a negative I’ve been doing this for years and years and my prostate is tip top condition 👍 But I went blind 😉

What is the relationship between 5a-reductase inhibitors and getting prostate cancer?

One question I get asked alot is why do some guys do not produce precum at all and if there is a way to increase/produce it? Would love to see a urologist perspective on this?

I wish I had done that when my PSA rose. Instead, I listened to the doctors and went through radiation and now my manhood has been destroyed 😭😭

I was told my prostate was super healthy. This must be true!

Been married 48 years believe me a 66 year old man doesn't look at a 67 year old woman in the way he did when he married said lady however erges come and go so with the sense of relief comes the sense of achievement 😊😊😊😢😂😂

I’ll see everyone here in 500 years.

I relieve my self every day some times twice i always enjoyed it and never felt he did me any harm i reluved my self dince i was about 12 and 65 now i be honest i helpped other guys as well 😅 but i am checked regular and nonussue ir signs at all of prostrate cancer so i am as the say stay carm and carry on some days i do do 3 or 4 times but depends on what i am doing enjoy life and grest video dr

I may be blind but no cancer!

As a Man it keeps everything flowing down there Doesn't allow for things to stagnant so keep getting your Rick's off!! ❤😊

It releases endorphins which is very good for stress reduction, sleep, and well being. Many men stop having sex when the wife decides she is no longer interested but men should continue to enjoy ejaculation well into old age as men still have the need and can well into old age. Obviously the smaller studies he mentioned should be discounted for not being a full study thus drawing incorrect conclusions.

Unfortunately not true. I had Gleason 9 cancer and and I did my part to try to prevent it… 😢

20+ times a month that's all I would be doing 😮

I will live for ever!

So, multiple mistresses or wives reduces the risk and enhances mental health. That is why Mormons live longer. Hugh Hefner also lived a long happy life.

Let’s join our hands for prostate cancer free If you can help each other 😅 Bottom line let’s do it for shake of study.

The original study said that the frequent ejaculation needed to be from intercourse, and the masturbation did NOT have the same effect. @Doctor Eric, you would have known this, if you had bothered to read the study. This video and title to the video is just click bait. And you know it.

My late dad had prostate cancer. But it was something else that killed him, though.

I have read cancerous cells feed on sugar, I contolled my blood sugar , my prostate cancer haven't come back after 8 years

So what’s the purpose of your video, if you really don’t know???

I'm 75 years old. Why didn't someone tell me about this 60 years ago? Sounds better than a 12 needle biopsy.

I feel sorry for the “control group”!

Whacking the Wild Weasel as to have some long-term benefit. So, I’m keeping on keeping on. 🙂🤣

It helps high blood pressure as well.

Ive been hard at it for 70 years fit as a fiddle 😅

Yeah?...But it makes you go blind.

I'm old and I don't want any damn sex with myself or anyone else. I have too much work to do.

I had a nocturnal emission. Once in the Army it burned and hurt. Only once i found the cure

Like all studies they are skewed..

An old joke: Masturbation does cause hair to grow on your palms, and women find it attractive! Unfortunately, excessive friction wears it off quickly!

I'm not watching the video. I'm just going to believe the title, ignoring the question mark.

Ok, my worries about prostate cancer are absolutely over, perhaps a bit RSI in the wrist, but that does not kill me! 😂😂😂

Once upon a time, this behaviour was discouraged by society as evil. The human body knows what is best for it.

You got my attention

No need to watch video. Thumbnail convinced me. Lisa Ann here I come.

It maybe help, but an active life style and the quality off the food you eat, low carb, drink enough water, will help ++++

Where can we find this study? I’ve searched everywhere and cannot find this Harvard studies or who conducted it. If anyone has any information please provide the source.

Aggressive cancers probably require 5 times a day.

At what age do you have to stop doing it?

let's find it out 🙂

Off topic but when getting a circumcision done can you ask for local Anesthesia rather than General if scared to be put under?

Take Zinc for your Prostrate.. Do your own research.

How come priests don’t have a higher risk? Five times a week?

I’ll let you know.

Contradicts what I was taught in religion that masturbation was a sin. Therefore I guess I'll be an old age sinner.

Is there a correlation with semen volume and prostate cancer? I have always had large, very liquid ejaculations.

I will live forever then❤

Its been 7 years after surgery and I am doing fine. Although I am not sure is what caused this. After surgery I had to get radiation. I doing fine though.

I use my semen for sticking down envelopes that don’t have enough glue on

He said 5 times per week reduces, then less 4-7 times per month may increase risk. Why the two different time measurements. Did he mean month instead of per week? How many times a week or month, should one punch out that baby batter?

Is masturbation decrease semen volume? Someone explain to me pls?

Atleast 5x week here

What happens with priests? Do they have more prostate câncer?

Prostate fine, though now I’ve gone blind

There is not correlation between masturbation frequency and prostrate cancer

but semen retention community will tell otherwise

Sex is not a type of hunger, It is a need for reproduction. That is why a male butterfly dies after its fullfilment. This survival period may be different for different animals and it may be much higher for humans. Thus more frequency may advance this.

May being the key word. These "studies" a epidemiological so cause-effect can't be established.

What if I stopped ejaculation for 2 months?

guys with prostate cancer nearly always get asked about frequency of use. The truth seems to be that there is no correlation between amount of usage, and cancer. If I had to throw the dice on the truth, I would suspect that not using it at all is riskier than normal usage. On the other hand, 5 times a day might be looking for trouble.......

Modern medicine need your money, how many men have been scammed ?

Sooo many of you missed: MAY DECREASE...

I'm gonna get a cancer poster on my wall!

It prevents all disease.

From my cold dead hand!
