No masturbation leads to prostate cancer

no masturbation leads to prostate cancer?
Have we actually proven that if males do not masturbate it will increase our chance of getting cancer? or have we proven that prostate cancer is reduced if we do masturbate?

Masturbation is a perfectly natural thing. It does not cause cancer!
9 :
Yes the studies have been done, and there is a decreased risk of prostate cancer in men who have regular ejaculations. So maintain the equipment, and enjoy sexual health.
10 :
I tend to agree with Mark the Nurse. I remembering reading a study that found decreased prostate cancer risks in association with more frequent ejaculations. However, I just did a quick search on Pubmed/Medline and could not find that study. I did find a study by researchers with the National Cancer Institute and published in the April 7, 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Here is what they concluded from the data they reviewed: "Our results suggest that ejaculation frequency is not related to increased risk of prostate cancer." Hope this was helpful. Best wishes.

Can anyone explain the significance of the PSA test in someone who had his prostate removed because of cancer

Can anyone explain the significance of the PSA test in someone who had his prostate removed because of cancer?
He had cancer of the prostate that had metast. into part of the rectum and underwent surgery in December, they removed "all of it" (the prostate and part of rectum) and gave him a colostomy and now are talking about some sort of hormone therapy because his PSA is still high. If he has no Prostate what is the significance of the PSA test???

the PSA test will tell the dr, a number, the higher the no. the worse it is. what kind of hormone treatment? my husband had that also, it was Lupron shots. he had prostrate cancer, unfortunitly his was spred all over his bones. he made it 22 mo. but your friend sounds like he will be ok, get the shots they do help. good luck.
2 :
This web site might help along with the information the PSA test helps monitor the prostate-specific antigen in your blood until the levels reach normal it should be checked. Good luck
3 :
That is so sad. I'm sorry for your trouble. I cannot answer the question. But please research alternatives. Here are a few links: http://rawfoodinfo.com/pictures/beforeafters_main.html http://www.curezone.com

The PSA is the reading of the fluids in the prostate. If there is a PSA and the prostate has been removed, there is cancer somewhere in the body
5 :
My father also underwent hormone therapy due to his advanced prostate cancer. He was also given the Lupron Depot and Casodex. He survived 7 years on this therapy and his PSA went from 250 to less than one. Sadly, he lost his battle to cancer on Jan. 4th.

Is milk a major cause of prostate cancer

Is milk a major cause of prostate cancer?

I never heard milk causing prostate cancer. Why would you think that? Don't worry, go ahead and drink milk. It can't harm you in that way. Unless of course, "new studies" have come out stating that .
2 :
If that was the case, every growing boy would end up with prostate cancer. It's mainly a cancer of older men.
3 :
No it isn't. A diet HIGH in dairy products is thought to be a possible risk factor for prostate cancer. Note the words 'high', 'thought' and 'possible'. And a risk factor is not a cause. Insurance companies regard 'being male' as a risk factor for having a car crash, but being male doesn't cause car crashes. The greatest risk factor for prostate cancer is getting older. It's extremely rare in men under 50; over 80% of men diagnosed with it are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75. It's so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35.
