Frequent ejaculation may decrease prostate cancer risk

Frequent Ejaculation Won't Prevent Prostate Enlargement "Use it or lose it" may be good advice when it comes to keeping mental skills sharp and staying in shape, but researchers say it doesn't apply to certain aspects of male anatomy. In fact, a new study debunks the myth that frequent ejaculation can ward off health problems such as prostate enlargement. Researchers say there's a common myth that "exercising" the prostate might somehow prevent prostate problems. But their study shows no evidence that frequent sexual activity prevents prostate enlargement. Non-cancerous prostate enlargement, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH , is a common problem among older men and can cause symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and weak urine stream.
