Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health
http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html
QUESTION:
have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to *** at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating?
ANSWER:
What a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body! Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.” Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often. You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.
You also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often. Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives. Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed? Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.
Enjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else!

I believe what you've got there is a spelling error. Prostrate means "laying prone" so I don't think that it's prostrate cancer. It's far more likely to be "prostate cancer." From the booklet "An Introduction to Prostate Cancer" from the Prostate Cancer Foundation:
"Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America; 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. And the older you are, the more likely you are to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Although only 1 in 10,000 under age 40 will be diagnosed, the rate shoots up to 1 in 38 for ages 40 to 59, and 1 in 14 for ages 60 to 69. In fact, about 65% of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65.
"But the roles of race and family history are important as well. African American men are 60% more likely to develop prostate cancer compared with Caucasian men, and are 200% more likely to die from their disease. Men with a single relative with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease, while those with two or more relatives are nearly four times as likely to be diagnosed. The risk is even higher if the affected family members were diagnosed at a young age, with the highest risk seen in men whose family members were diagnosed before age 60.
"Although genetics might play a role in deciding why one man might be at higher risk than another, social and environmental factors, particularly diet and lifestyle, likely have an effect as well. The exact relationship between obesity and prostate cancer remains unclear, but there is no doubt that obesity can have a negative effect on outcomes. Research has shown that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results in obese men can be lower despite the presence of disease, potentially leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment; recovery from surgery tends to be longer and more difficult; and the risk of dying from prostate cancer can be higher."

My dad had prostate cancer and went through a series of radiation treatments at a regional hospital. He is now in remission. He gets blood tests (PSA) about every 6 months. He has also had skin cancer from years of working on a tractor in the hot sun without a hat or long sleeves. He is 83 years old.

My father had/has prostrate melanoma. He had whole removing and was once transparent on all psa's till approximately 12 yrs later, round age sixty five. His procedure for the final five yrs has been watch and wait. You can inform how competitive it's through getting bloodwork performed in periods. If it doubles off the bat, this is a no-brainer that you simply have got to begin healing. My father's did double and he was once began on kasodex (spelling?) and it's been running good to hold his phases down. He is going off and on the drug. You will uncover there's no distinctive technology and each man or woman is distinctive. discovering a health practitioner you particularly believe is the toughest wrestle. Too many dr's are "in a industry" and blissful to throw the whole lot at it, as they generate profits that method, by way of referrals too. Trust your intestine and concentrate to a well health practitioner. I want you all good!

prostate cancer is a malignancy of the small gland located below the bladder and anterior to the rectum in males. even though this is a very common cancer it grows so slowly that only 3% of men with prostate cancer will die from it. nonetheless prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. Risk factors for prostate cancer include age, heredity and lifestyle. usually the doctor will perform a (DRE) digital rectal exam where he uses his fingers. and a (PSA) prostate specific antigen.

It's "prostate" cancer, or cancer of the prostate gland, which is down in the region of the urethra. Which is why problems with urination are leading signs of this type of cancer.

I think you mean prostate cancer--only one r. (Prostrate means lying down flat.) It is cancer of the prostate--which, basically, is part of the male "anatomy."
