Prostate Health

Does anyone have a good recipe for prostate health

Some medical professionals say that vitamin C and zinc are essential to good prostate health. You can obtain zinc by eating pumpkin seeds and of course oranges will provide the necessary vitamin C. With every ejaculation you lose zinc, so keeping intercourse and masturbation to a minimum may also contribute to better prostate health. That could be a little hard to do for some of us. Or just do as all the ladies do since they never seem to have problems in that area...ha, ha.

I think the current views prostate health are that the more you use it, the healthier it will be; especially in your teenage years!

On Bob and Tom radio program last week one of the guys had an on air prostate exam (it's an annual thing, promotes good prostate checks for males). Christy the news lady said the best things to promote good prostate health was to eat healthy, take your vitamins and ejaculate at least three times a week. Unfortunatly nothing about enemas.

Enemas have to be good for the prostate. It has no choice but to be stimulated by everything going on during and after an enema. If you have a willing partner a prostate massage afterward can be spectacular. Just be sure to communicate to her/him what feels good. Remember, your unique just like everyone else.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4861-frequent-ejaculation-may-protect-against-cancer.html says frequent ejaculation lowers the risk for prostate cancer. One theory holds that cleaning out the prostate gets rid of a build-up of carcinogens. An earlier study in Australia also points out that it's especially beneficial for teenagers to masturbate. It's a shame so many (especially in the past) were told it's disgusting and sinful.

I think this is a very important and wonderful post Rufous! Anything that can be done to de-bunk the BULLSHIT we were all fed as kids, I'm all for. Thanks for posting it!!

Hi guys,

I'm not a medical professional, but I write about all sorts of things, including healthcare. A client asked me to write an article for prostate cancer awareness month, which is this month--September. Oddly enough, research is inconclusive on whether regular ejaculation by any means, promotes better prostate health. You can find studies that conclude either way (i.e. ejaculation promotes a healthier prostate or does nothing), this is why I say there's no definitive conclusion. I was highly surprised to find this during my research on the topic because common sense would be in favor of regular ejaculation reducing the risk. In any event, it appears that ejaculation isn't going to hurt anything, based on recent studies.

Vitamins/supplements, as Einlauf points out, such as zinc, are reputed to promote prostate health, as well as selenium. Then of course, there are herbal remedies, the foremost among these herbs being saw palmetto. I have a close friend who is 64 and has taken saw palmetto since he was in his early 40s. He swears by it, but it could also be his genetics and his lifestyle that have kept his prostate happy and healthy. And, as suspected, there are studies indicating saw palmetto works and other studies that conclude it has no effect on prostate health.

We've all heard of herbal and "natural" remedies that have proven to be dangerous....take ephedrin as an example. The point is, proceed with caution and do your own research. Also, since supplements, herbs, etc. aren't regulated by the FDA, you never know what you're really getting.

Studies have indicated that:

- A diet high in saturated fat may be a risk factor.

- Men over the age of 65 who exercise vigorously on a regular basis may have a lower rate of prostate cancer. (source: National Prostate Cancer Coalition)

So - it seems that you're better off eating a healthy diet and exercising than hoping an enema will help keep your prostate healthy.

And...here are some interesting stats...

Prostate cancer effects one in six men. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million American men currently living with prostate cancer. One new case occurs every 2.5 minutes, and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. To put prostate cancer into perspective, The American Cancer Society’s report, Cancer Facts and Figures 2008, estimates that 186,320 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008; the estimate for women diagnosed with breast cancer is 182,460.

What I didn't say is that the mortality rate for breast cancer is higher...so I kind of "cheated" a little, but I wanted to make a point.

Arianna

While Ariana mentioned that the results are inconclusive, I also have seen reports that ejaculating at least twice a week is good for prostate health.

Either way, it doesn't look like it would hurt anything, and it is a way of "justifying" frequent sex or masturbation.

^^^^ No problem, just ejaculate in conjunction with your enemas. 😁 😁 😁

One reason the mortality rate is lower is that it is often not listed as the cause of death. Many men living with prostate cancer will have heart disease of something else listed as the cause of death.

My mother died of cancer of the vagina but heart disease was listed as the primary cause of death. That was B.S. The heart disease was controlled the cancer was not.

Take a multi-mineral table each day, ejaculate often, and have a soothing prostate massage by a partner or massage therapist.

I have years of excellent prostate health. When my annual exam is done my female Dr comments "How excellent your prostate condition is" 😉

And for years I have masturbated probably close to once a day and I am going on 64 Oct 4th. So I feel the ejaculations do a good job for the prostate and it's free fun - 😃

I enjoyed a very active sex life and in 2005 came down with a urinary tract infection. An enlarged prostate was discovered and a PSA test done. Results were 4.7. Anything over 4 is considered elevated so a biopsy was done. They divide the prostate into 6 zones, 3 each on each side of your urethra and take 2 biopsies from each zone. Of the 12 biopsies was 10% cancerous. I was told that's about as early as you can have it and still be detectable. I chose the daily radiation method as opposed to the seeds or surgery. I was on Lupron for a year and a half afterward. That stuff is nasty. My last PSA test was .8, so far so good. So I would have to say, frequent ejaculations didn't make any difference in my case. I am overweight and eat more than my share of red meat, I'm sure that doesn't help.

Guys, if you are over 50 get your PSA checked regularly. It's now recommended to start at 40 if you have prostate cancer in your family, especially if it's your father or brother. Both our sons are over 40 and they have been tested. Pretending you are fine just because you haven't been tested won't cut it. I can't help but wonder how far along my prostate cancer would have progressed had I not come down with that urinary tract infection

I have to jump in here too--

I have been active all my life--except when flying during 'nam--my diet has always been pretty good--I have ejaculated frequently since age 20-unfortunately not a lot before that age--and taking enemas since age 23

during aroutine physical Rosa - my NP found a lump on my prostate--it turned out to be a tumor -gleason 5 stage II--I c started my current regimen including coffee enemas--my PSA is down and the lump is gone

I worked in the building trades fior a while--we used cadmium nails--I am convinced that was the trigger---

who knows---

badger

Badger,

Are you saying enemas alone cured your cancer? What was your psa when the tumor was discovered and what is it now. I was never in the military but if you served our country in Viet Nam we must be about the same age.

Correct on the zinc and vitamin "C". A vitamin supplement called Beta Sisterol, (also known as plant sterols... not to be confused with steroids~), work great on the prostate. Saw Palmetto works and there are many supplements with them. Other foods contribute to better prostate health: mass quantities of raspberries, blueberries, fresh figs, pumpkin seeds, cantaloupe seeds, prickly pear cactus, dragon fruit, lecithin, flax seed oil.

Einlauf in not correct about less sex means better prostate health due to zinc loss... in fact, many studies indicate that the MORE sex you have and the MORE often you masturbate, (Both including cumming and NOT holding back on ejaculation), the LESS likely you are to have prostate problems or get prostate cancer. So... stroke a load out and feel better and be healthier!

In tough economic times, this will always be the one thing that is free - masturbate as much as you can! But remember, if you have sex with a partner, wear a condom - this potential result is not free! 😁

As others here have said, there doesn't seem to be any studies that conclude enemas are any kind of a prostate cancer preventative. However, I can say from personal experience that a very warm enema (107-110 F) can alleviate prostatitis. This makes sense when you realize that many urologists recommend sitz baths for prostatitis. In that case the warm water warms the prostate by heating the perineum. With an enema, the warm water is in direct contact with the prostate, through the rectal wall.

Susie

lol

i think i agree with you hun

as long as your woman will allow you to be inside inside when you cum especially if your getting an enema from her

never tried it butt it sure sounds great to try

I try for an enema a week followed by a prostate massage.

The enema is a low warm water enema just to clean the rectum. My urologist says my prostate is in great condition and I am 80 years old.

This is my prostate story. In June'08, after a PSA test yielding a reading of 19, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Biopsy revealed an early condition involving less than 5% of one segment.I was sent to an oncologist where several treatments proposals were made.

Since I seemed to have had prostatitis at the time of my PSA test I decided to discuss the situation with my Primary Physician. His recommendation was to start with a course of antibotics. He also told me of a study that had been done on latin males (Italian and Greek). These men apparently have a much lower rate of prostate cancer than we Americans. This boiled down to a recommendation of consuming a 6 oz. can of tomato paste daily along with 2 0z. of olive oil. I added 30 mg. of lycopene and a zinc tablet each day.

That was a year ago. My PSA readings every 3 months have been 1.0, 1.8, .8 and 1.0. I'm not foolish enough to think that I am cured, but I am waiting and watching.

The ultimate benefit has been another great year for good sex and pleanty of enemas.

18 months ago after being diagnosed with an enlarged prostate I started (at my doctors suggestion) taking low doses of a certain drug. I've also embarked on prostate massage every 3 months at the suggestion of a urologist. Now interestingly urinating has been a lot easier as well as ejeculating is now much stronger since I started everything. I've also gone from getting up 3 or 4 times a night to pee to now getting up at 5am only. I can sleep for 6 or 7 hours before I need to get up. Also at my doctors suggestion he has asked me to masturbate at least 3 times a week. Now I know there's a lot of divided opinion as to the benefits of masturbation but HEY what the heck. Its enjoyable so I'm going to do it. So whats the tablet. OK its Cialis. I'm taking 5mg of Cialis on a daily basis and so far I am feeling really great. I now have a very very low fat diet. And I have embarked on a fitness regime as well. Although I have always been reasonably fit swimming 4 or 5 times a week. But although I have an enlarged prostate it seems to have stopped getting any bigger. With the combination of Cialis and exercise, a low fat diet, and massage as well as frequent ejeculation it all seems to be helping. I dont think there is one secret formula. I think its a combination of things that will help. And at 60+ years of age I need all the help I can get.

Oh and one other thing I have cool enemas before the massage.

😃

To JockP experiencing approx the same problem, my prostate is twice bigger as average fro a male of my age, condition, shape ...

My wife is very loving, but have a weak point about sexual and erotic motivation. My GF is very motived, interested and curious about sexuality and erotism, imagine how lucky I am, for my prostate health, and for my passions exercises, who is also important to maintain a average hormonal level, and not to fall sexually asleep, or not die sexually because loosing the taste and need of a nice sexual relation.

I've also been taking 5mg of generic Cialis for about 2 years. It's been a good thing.

Generic? Yes. It is available from India and Indonesia. I get it from a licensed Canadian pharmacy. Yes, you need a prescription. The cost is affordable, no insurance involved.

I've also been taking 5mg of generic Cialis for about 2 years. . . .

How's your hearing?. . . .

HOW'S YOUR HEARING?. . . .

I SAID, HOW IS YOUR HEARING ???? 😁 😁 😁

Cialis, Levitra and viagra are the enemies of the audiophile

My hearing went bye bye many years ago thanks to The Who, The Dead and other great bands. Cialis hasn't made any noticeable changes.

If I had to choose between hearing acutely and peeing regularly, I'll vote for urine. Until it becomes an issue, you have no idea.

I had not heard about Cialis being associated with hearing difficulties. In my case I havent had any side-effects at all. I will ask my doctor if he knows about Cialis and side effects such as hearing difficulties.

When I get an erection, I have trouble listening.
