This can't be right!

A guy at work was telling me his uncle who is in his 60s has had chronic prostrate problems. So the last time his uncle went to doc, the doctor actually prescribed him to masturbate daily!?

Obviously that can’t be right and he’s BSing me. Any medically or prostrate inclined folks care to confirm/deny this?

Moving thread to health forum for now.

Actually yes, for men 50+ , doctors do tell them to masturbate to keep prostate in check.

Masturbation and prostate cancer

PS: errr and public service announcement- for men in their 20s and 30s this can increase the chance of prostate cancer ..

Not neccesarily just masturbation...

Just regular ejaculation, so that can include sex with their buddee, so much sweeter.

There is a lot of misinformation amongst teenagers in Pak that ejaculation causes weakness and impotence and that eventually you run out of semen/maniy supply, this is just nonsense, old wives tails, not that i'm endorsing masturbation but facts are facts and Paki brothers chat so much hogwash...

Re: This can't be right!

Bull**** studies, i won't base any opinion on interviewed "evidence"

These may not be true, but how else you will find out if they masturbated or had sex? ;)

Re: This can't be right!

And there was me thinking my uncle was looking for change deep down in his pocket. God Bless him, hes just trying to keep healthy.

YB never ask that doctor how to avoid constipation.
