Masturbation with prostatitis

Masturbation with prostatitis is a slippery topic. Some consider it unethical. Meanwhile, she excites many men who periodically, for various reasons, engage in sexual self-satisfaction. The question here, however, is not in the process itself, but in how much it is connected with the prostate gland and the possibility of inflammation. Is it even possible to masturbate with prostatitis?

Currently, there are three opposing theories on this subject, each of which has its own completely logical justifications.

Theories

There is still no single point of view. Discussions around masturbation with prostatitis do not subside, and everyone solves them in their own way. This article is another attempt to understand this issue.

Causes of prostatitis and their connection with masturbation

Let's define the following reasons:

• Physical inactivity associated primarily with a sedentary lifestyle (drivers, office workers, elderly people);
• Alcohol abuse, smoking;
• Hypothermia, especially the pelvic region;
• Infectious pathologies of the genitourinary system;
• Sexually transmitted diseases;
• Weak immunity;
• Lack of regular sexual activity, long periods abstinence, weakening the circulation of blood in the prostate and its nutrition.

The last circumstance is closely related to the topic of the article. Masturbation with the impossibility of natural sexual satisfaction in some cases also becomes a kind of lifestyle and stimulates metabolic processes.

Mechanism of functioning of the prostate during masturbation

Normally, the physiological mechanism of the prostate during masturbation is, in fact, the same as during normal sexual intercourse. With sexual arousal, the pituitary gland triggers the mechanism of neurohumoral regulation of all genital organs, including the prostate.

The blood supply increases. The testicles, penis and prostate increase in size due to this. When masturbating, the volume of the genitals becomes maximum.

The prostate gland, located at the mouth of the bladder, with its upper part compresses the urinary duct and thereby prevents urination at the time of ejaculation. The lower part of the gland will remain weakened, allowing the sperm from the testicles, diluted with its own hormonal secretion, to penetrate through special ducts into the urethra and further into the vagina or simply outside in case of onanism.

A few minutes after orgasm, the size of the gland returns to its original state.

In prostatitis, the enlargement of the gland does not occur in the usual functional way. It is a consequence of inflammatory processes that have arisen in the body for one reason or another, mentioned above, including sexual abstinence.

Without any sexual arousal, the prostate compresses the urethra and prevents complete one-time emptying of the bladder. And not for a short time, as during sexual intercourse, but constantly.

Symptoms known:

• Frequent urge to urinate (even at night);
• Cutting pains in the groin during diuresis;
• Permanent sleeplessness;
• Irritability, weakness, loss of efficiency;
• Erecting problems.

Masturbating with prostatitis only exacerbates the situation. The rush of blood to the prostate during self-satisfaction increases the already hypertrophied gland. The mouth of the bladder narrowed by an inflammatory tumor becomes even narrower. At the same time, urine can be squeezed out into the urethra only drop by drop. The cramps in the groin are getting stronger.

With frequent masturbation, inflammatory processes in the prostate are constantly stimulated. Ultimately, this leads to its growth, the degeneration of tissues into a fibrous form and the loss of their direct functions by the gland. Prostatitis becomes chronic. The erection weakens due to the deterioration of blood flow. A man loses interest in the opposite sex and becomes impotent.

Is there any benefit from masturbation for prostatitis

To answer this question, you need to turn not to all the consequences of masturbation with prostatitis, but to one of the causes of prostate inflammation itself. This reason is the long absence of sex.

What does sexual abstinence lead to physiologically? The reproductive organs, including the prostate, being excluded from the normal physiological cycle, receive insufficient doses of blood. The vessels that feed them narrow, become less elastic, sclerotic plaques appear in the gaps, further complicating blood flow, and with it metabolism.

The male genital area is especially sensitive to the stagnation of venous blood in the vessels. One of the consequences of this is a decrease in immunity and the corresponding vulnerability of the prostate gland to various infections. At some point, one of them leads to inflammation of the prostate.

If abstinence continues with acute prostatitis, the above symptoms will only worsen. The acute phase will develop into a chronic one. Vascular thrombosis and atrophy of the gland will become more likely. The risk of cancerous growths will increase.

Masturbating in this case, if there is no way to satisfy yourself naturally, is even recommended - this is not only the prevention of prostatitis, but also a fairly effective method that cures the disease.

The only contraindication to masturbation here can only be excessiveness and a habit that reduces the significance of natural sexual objects for a man.

Conclusion

For all the contradictory views on masturbation in general and especially in prostatitis, it should be recognized that its influence on a man is twofold. As a prevention, masturbation is a useful procedure, partly compensating for the lack of healthy sex. For the treatment of prostatitis at the stage of its occurrence, it is quite appropriate. Thus, blood flow increases, stagnation in the organ, which reduces the release of prostatic secretion, is eliminated.

The danger of masturbation with prostatitis is its abuse in the acute phase of the disease. This applies equally to ordinary sex. Increased blood flow during the development of inflammation can contribute to its generation throughout the genital area. The peak of inflammation of the prostate must first be removed by more reliable methods, including prostate massage and traditional anti-inflammatory therapy.

The truth is most likely somewhere in between: I masturbate, and in doing so, I not only save myself from sexual frustration and prostatitis, but also take risks. Est modus in rebus, said the ancient Romans, - the measure should be in cm.
