Frequent Ejaculation Reduces Risks Of Cancer
New research has found that frequent ejaculation through either sex or masturbation reduces the risks of developing prostate cancer in men. It is estimated that a man should ejaculate at least 21 times in a month to stave off chances of developing prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is a common cancer among men all over the world and it is estimated that over 40,000 new cases are reported in the United Kingdom every year, while an estimated three million men live with ailment in the US.
According to Mirror newspaper, "New research published on the NHS website found the risk of prostate cancer was significantly lower in men who ejaculated at least 21 times a month through sex or masturbation.
"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases every year.
"Researchers from Harvard and Boston medical schools and universities studied 31,925 healthy men who completed a questionnaire about their ejaculation frequency back in 1992, reports the Plymouth Herald .
"The men, who were aged 20-to-29 and 40-to-49, were monitored until 2010 and during that time 3,839 of them were diagnosed with prostate cancer."
The newspaper reported further that "The findings, published in the journal European Urology , compare the 21-timers with men who ejaculate just four-to-seven times every four weeks.
"The researchers found that the risk of prostate cancer in men in those age groups was significantly reduced if they ejaculated at least 21 times a month.
"This was compared with men who ejaculated just four-to-seven times a month.
"However, the researchers are not speculating on the reasons why ejaculating reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
"It is being reported that previous research hints at the possibility that ejaculation contributes to getting rid of cancer-causing elements and infections from the gland.
"Inflammation is a known cause of cancer, and ejaculation may help to ease this."
Cancer.net reports that "Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, except for skin cancer. This year, an estimated 161,360 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. For unknown reasons, the risk of prostate cancer is 74% higher in black men than in non-Hispanic white men. Most prostate cancers (92%) are found when the disease is confined to the prostate and nearby organs. This is referred to as the local or regional stage.
"The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of men live at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The 5-year survival rate for most men with local or regional prostate cancer is almost 100%. Ninety-eight percent (98%) are alive after 10 years, and 96% live for at least 15 years. For men diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 29%.
"Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States. It is estimated that 26,730 deaths from this disease will occur this year. Although the number of deaths from prostate cancer continues to decline among all men, the death rate remains more than twice as high in black men than any other group. A man’s individual survival depends on the type of prostate cancer and the stage of the disease."
