Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / January 2004Can mastrubating inflame prostate?
Can habitual mastrubating inflame your prostate? I have only had about three bouts of prostatis over ten years with symptons of frequent urination and some burning after? The second time there was an infection ( doc claimed not STD) and was treated with antibiotics. Went away for almost two years. Then it came back again two months ago. I went to a regular doctor I live in a remote part of Korea and don't speak Korean very well. Difficult to find English speaking URO. The doc tested my urine and said no infection and no inflamation. So I took antibiotics anyway for ten days and the frequent urination did not really settle down. I went back to the GP and he said try "Prosman" made in Germany but its writen in Korean so I don't know what it is.Now no problem at night...sleep right through, but daytime is not as good as still some irritaion. Frequency seems to be also improving. Seems to be getting better. Anyone know about this drug? I don't want this to reoccur again so is it possible habitual mastrubating inflamed my prostate in the first place? Thanks...and my sympathy for those who suffer! WG > Can habitual mastrubating inflame your prostate? I don't know what "habitual" means to you, but the general rule I've been told and go by is this: If ejaculation via sex or masturbation is not excrutiatingly painful because the prostate is already highly inflammed, the usual result is a lessening of symtoms and easier urination. The first couple times might be a little uncomfortable, but it gets easier. Several times a week should keep you pretty well-flushed and relieve the fluid congestion. You need to get someone to translate the information that comes with your Korean medications.

Reasonable advice I'd say. On the flip side of that, I'd also like to add that if any of you are yanking everyday like a monkey in heat, then STOP! Your doing nothing but harming your nerves during your long insane play sessions. Habitual masturbation = habitual pain. What nerves, exactly? Peripheral nerves on the glans? Or something deeper? Not sure what you mean by 'habitual' masturbation (after all it IS a habit with 99.9% of males) but my nerves seem a-ok after about three decades of self pleasuring - and the pleasuring of my wife, I might add George > "avocet" wrote.. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > harming your nerves during your long insane play sessions.

Dear WG If you can get erect and feel like masturbating, well I guess you're in a fairly healthy condition. I doubt if masturbation as such caused your flare-up of prostatis. As I have said in the past on this group I have found regular masturbation to be very helpful in treating prostatis. Unless you are masturbating to the extent that your penis is inflamed or raw I would say keep on jerking. What is possible is that you could have some sort of bacterial contamination on your hands. Do you come into contact with sh.t? Do you perhaps insert a finger in your anus and then masturbate with the same hand? I enjoy anal stimulation but make sure I use a finger stall or a condom, which I then remove. Do you use a lotion or cream to help with masturbation? It could be that the lotion is a source of infection. What might also happen is that your prostatitis was dormant and that by masturbating the bacteria in the prostate have inflamed your urethra. Certain posters like to create fear and spread anxiety. There is nothing wrong with masturbating. To the contrary it is probably good for you. Sexual function is natural and healthy. Of course in an isolated situation such as you are in, it must be difficult to express your sexuality with a partner. I think you should make the effort to visit a urologist who can understand you, and whom you can understand. Although many people are in favour of traditional herbal medicine, and I am sure that it has its uses, I wouldn't put my faith in a traditional remedy for prostatitis. A full course of cyproxine combined with daily masturbation and an exam to see if your prostate is enlarged will probably help you. Keep on trucking!! Passe >I would say keep on jerking. >What is possible is that you could have some sort of bacterial >contamination on your hands. Do you come into contact with sh.t? Speaking of sh.t - did you know that a womans vagina and mouth both contain varieties of bacteria that are not commonly not found in sh.t. That is why I say -- WOMEN ARE EVIL !!!!! > >I would say keep on jerking. > >What is possible is that you could have some sort of bacterial [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > WOMEN ARE EVIL !!!!! Tired of the misinformation and nonsense found in this newsgroup? Come to where the sane people discuss this topic: http://www.chronicpelvicpain.us/ http://www.chronicprostatitis.com/ This is not misinformation it is fact. sh.t contains a limited variety of bacteria, mainly E-Coli. A woman's mouth and vagina contain many varieties of microorganisms that can make their happy home in your prostate. As for the "alternative" forum, no one posts there, it is censored and geared to lure unsuspecting victims into using Prosta-Q which is unproven snake oil. >> >I would say keep on jerking. >> >What is possible is that you could have some sort of bacterial [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >http://www.chronicpelvicpains.us/ >http://www.chronicprostatitiss.com/ Masturbating or sex effects each of our prostate differently.

I found that masturbating everyday was not doing me any good and was causing my prostate to become more inflamed. The strain when my prostate muscle would contract (ejaculation) would cause much burning afterward. I now only masturbate no more than 3 times A week. I also find that @ 51 I enjoy it much more when I let A little time pass. I also found that I experience less prostate discomfort when having intercourse than when masturbating. IMO. As far as your brother the GP goes ask him if he suffers from prostatitis. So there.. Yes John------- he has is own prostate problems. It seems to be a family thing.

You'd have to get off your a.s and do the search yourself regarding the names of which genitoury nerves, but irregardless, overstimulation, ( long sessions, numerous times per day ), via masterbation CAN potentially harm and inflame the nerves in the genital area as well as irritate the sphincter muscle. > Not sure what you mean by 'habitual' masturbation (after all it IS a habit > with 99.9% of males) but my nerves seem a-ok after about three decades of > self pleasuring If you bothered to read the original post in this thread, posted by a different person, you would have seen that it was "he" that first used the phrase, "habitual masterbation". I used the term in reference to his remarks. I'm not quite sure what that means either, but it kinda sounded like he was over doing it. Maybe you should ask him why he asked such a question ans what he meant by it? > - and the pleasuring of my wife, I might add Great! Tell someone who cares.

This > disease is bad enough without verbal abuse from fellow-sufferers. ( SIGH ).......here we go again. Avocet, I'm not cranky. It's quite the contrary my friend. I'm suffering like all the others here and wish everyone health and happiness. I even wish health and happiness to all the people who post here with different views other than mine regarding the etiology of this condition! I forgive and forget very easily Avocet. Let me give you a little tip == life is too short to be stressed by petty things. You would agree with this about me if you remembered our private email discussions last summer. Obviously don't. Look! It just pisses me off when people don't read full threads and don't know what the topic is! Some posters pick and choose certain quotes and take them out of context to embarrass and make others look bad. A perfect example of this is what George Prager did with me and this thread. In the "ORIGINAL" message posted in this thread by WG, WG asked this question of the newsgroup => " I don't want this to reoccur again so is it possible habitual masturbating inflamed my prostate in the first place? It's a legitimate question, but quite frankly a little confusing as I don't fully understand what WG means by habitual masturbation? Anyways, I responded and told him that if "habitual masturbation" meant "overstimulation" and "long sessions", then YES.....YES it could precipitate this condition! We all know this type of habit can harm and irritate the nerves in the pelvic area! Makes sense, right?? Case closed? Done deal? Thanks for your comments, Idea Man?? Nope! George Prager then posts and asks me "WHAT I MEANT BY HABITUAL MASTURBATION" ??? ( shaking my head ) What's that all about? Did George Prager even read WG's original post? It sure doesn't look like it, because I'm NOT the one who asked anything about HABITUAL MASTURBATION??? Didn't he see I was responding to someone else's question? Why is George Prager asking me, " WHAT NERVES, EXACTLY? PERIPHERAL NERVES OF THE GLANS?" Quite frankly, if he doesn't know by now that abnormal masturbation sessions could precipitate CPPS and damage and inflame nerves, then it's NO WOnder he's had this condition for 3 decades! He then specifically feels the need to tell ME, ==> " after all, it IS a habit with 99.9% of males, but my nerves seem a-ok after about three decades of self pleasuring - and the pleasuring of my wife, I might add". Give me a break! This is what I mean about NOT reading the full thread and NOT knowing what is being discussed! He missed the whole point of the thread and that if "habitual masturbation" means "overstimulation" and "long masturbation sessions", then it can indeed damage and inflame nerves. C'mon! I don't need some bonehead challenging me on that!??! Look Avocet, your right! This disease is bad enough without verbal abuse from fellow-sufferers and if you remembered who I was, you would know immediately that I find verbal abuse appauling and NEVER instigate it! I'd really just like to let Georgie know we should all just move on and get back to the topics. No hard feelings here. My first and foremost reason for posting here is to keep up with current research and to exchange ideas that will potentially help myself, ( ya, I'm selfish in that regard ), but also to help my suffering CPPS brother. It's kinda funny Avocet, you don't recall we privately emailed numerous times last summer. Since then however, I changed my posting name to the newsgroup. This is why you don't remember. Let me jog your memory. We spoke about the seminal vesicles. I was getting ready to go to Europe and had to break off communication with ya. Ring a bell? We had very productive discussions regarding CPPS and had a mutual respect for one another. By the way, I think your a very nice person and it's no suprise your defending people here in the group. Can we move on please? This is a waste of time. Let's try to help each other. Best regards, Derek look, Derek, I was not going to get dragged into a flame war but I want to mention three points: 1) you are correct, I should have read the whole thread - poin conceded 2) my question about nerve damage was a genuine one. Sure, I can look it up on "Google"; nevertheless - this was a simple question, not a challenge 3) you'll notice that I was (and always try to be) polite and would never resort to calling you, or anybody else, "a bonehead" We may disagree or misunderstand but rudeness is never called for George George > "avocet" wrote.. > [quoted text clipped - 66 lines] > Best regards, > Derek "George Prager" < wrote. > look, Derek, I was not going to get dragged into a flame war but I want to > mention three points: > > 1) you are correct, I should have read the whole thread - point conceded. Thankyou for admitting that. You have my respect with that admission. > 2) my question about nerve damage was a genuine one. Sure, I can look it up > on "Google"; nevertheless - this was a simple question, not a challenge Yes, it could be a legitimate question. As I pointed out, I did not take it seriously because it felt as though it was asked in the way of a challenge rather than someone sincerely wanting to know the answer. > 3) you'll notice that I was (and always try to be) polite and would never > resort to calling you, or anybody else, > "a bonehead" > > We may disagree or misunderstand but rudeness is never called for You are absolutely right and I apologize George. For anyone that's been reading this group for the last 2 years, ( OY! Have I been here that long?? CRYING!! ), they'll have noticed I too always try to be polite and am a great admirer of truth and justice. I was wrong to be rude like I was, and it was uncalled for. I certainly could have handled it differently. I guess I was a little frazzled because my cities NHL HOCKEY TEAM had lost their game the night before....and....I had ...to take...it out on........uuhh.......naw...... don't believe that lame excuse, ( laughing ). The bottom line is that cheap shots are uncalled for especially since were are all here to help each other. From what I can tell, you are always polite and are a nice addition to the newsgroup George. Thankyou for your mature understanding and let's move ahead. It's the past and I forgive and forget very easily. Done deal! Woohoo!! Peace out, Derek We did talk, and shared a lot of very interesting ideas. And the conversations were not abusive. The person I spoke with during that time was unfailingly polite and you are not being that now. Don't miss the point that verbal bashing, "Tell somebody who cares," offers no useful information and makes a perhaps naive poster feel like a fool when all he wants are answers to his very uncomfortable issues. George summed up my reaction pretty well. He asked about penile nerves (which you brought up). If you know about penile nerves, just tell him, or tell him where he might find the information, or ignore his question altogether. Sorry to make you the object of my peeve, Idea Man. Your are not the only one posting here in sometimes nasty ways. Let's get back to finding solutions and being considerate of each other, and creative in the process.

LOOK! DON'T LECTURE ME ON VERBAL BASHING AVOCET! I think it's quite telling about those who feel the need to rub this in. Your not the only one with a heart who posts here. My record speaks for itself and I make it a habit to be considerate. Go ahead and bash me for the ONE TIME in over 2 years I was overly harsh if it makes you feel good. I'm very content with myself.

At first I couldn't get enough of this newsgroup, thinking it to be not only a wealth of useful information, but it was comforting knowing there are other guys out there going through the same stuff I am. I haven't posted in months, I'm seeing a new Uro, doing new things, and I think I could offer some good advice to people with valid questions. But for all the good this newsgroup *could* be it is just too hard for me to wade through all the crap and bogus postings and disinformation. There are too precious few who I respect to read their posts anymore. The only one I can think of that I trust is Derek. The only advice I can give to someone new to this newsgroup is this: read the posts here only to understand that there are people dealing with the same pain you are and that you are not alone in this. But for information to base any decisions on please stick to the web sites.

Are you serious? I urge you to go back to the top of this page and re-read my comments. I am hoping you have just misunderstood or misread what I said. Are your attempting to inform the men in this newsgroup that if they masterbate for overly lengthy periods of time, hold off ejaculation, ejaculate 3-4 times per day, that this WOULD NOT increase the chances of irritating their penile nerves and nerves leading in and out of the prostate? Are you also telling the men in this group that this type of abusive practice COULD NOT potentially precipitate CPPS symptoms? I want to clarify my opinion and that is that it is one thing to masterbate and ejaculate on a regular basis, ( which by all accounts is normal practice, and beneficial for many sufferer's ), but a whole, completely, different thing to over-do thing's in the way I described above.

Just because YOur a doctor doesn't that mean that YOU are right. Your just a man with no more answers than many of the educated laymen who lurk around here. By the claim you've made though, I really have to wonder? Let me ask you some questions, Bob. I'm just curious? Do you possess the same in-depth insight men who are actually suffering from this disease possess? Do you suffer from chronic pelvic pain? Do you suffer with neuropathic pain? Know what it feels like? What irritates symptoms? Maybe you know what precipitates symptoms in all men? By the way, in discussing the possible adverse effects of overstimulating penile and prostatic nerves via long, repetitive, masturbation sessions, ( not too mention other adverse effect as a result ), I wonder if all patients are forthcoming at their first urological visit? Or is it quite possible some are a bit shy and embarrassed to admit that they were hammering away all night in with some magazine, or movie, and now things are just a bit sore down there? It's my guess that you haven't taken note regarding the various accounts over the years in this newsgroup, by men who have had problems after over-extending themselves? Maybe I can simplify thing's a bit for you? Have you ever stepped into a gym? Worked out a little bit? What do you think would happen if you were to work on one body part to too hard without giving it any rest? How about the shoulder? Say you were to lift weights by doing some overhead presses repetitively with your left shoulder for 6 straight hours? I don't imagine there are as many nerves in the shoulder as the genital area, but what do you think might happen? That shoulder just might be a bit sore when you were done, huh? No...no...no.....NO stopping after your 3rd hour.....keep it up! You got 3 more hours to go! Strain that muscle! Feel good? Naw......don't worry, your not going to do any damage. You won't pull any muscles, or damage any nerves by OVER-stimulating. Just use good technique. But! Save yourself because you got another week of this! Who with a straight face would claim that you cannot "damage nerves" by OVER- stimulating them, and you cannot "irritate" them, either? WHO? You cannot admit that this type of behavior could hurt men and possibly trigger chronic pelvic pain in them? Wow!?? Sorry.......I'm out of this discussion. It's too ridiculous. Adios. Dr. Fink, I was told that daily ejeculation is advisable. I specifically asked my Uro if every other day was ok? He told me that it was best to ejecuate once a day. >>You'd have to get off your a.s and do the search yourself regarding the >>names of which genitoury nerves, but irregardless, overstimulation, ( long [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >"Ex Tristitia Virtus" >I was told that daily ejeculation is advisable.

Even if you don't ejaculate at all, your body will do just fine (in the form of "wet dreams", etc. It is amazing to me as to how much mis-information is available on the subject of sexuality, especially male sexuality.
