An Orgasm A Day Can Lower A Man's Risk Of Prostate Cancer By 20%, Study Reveals

For those who have gotten the "license"
-Men who Erupt more frequently lower their risk
of the disease
-Those who Erupt 21 times a month or more cut
their risk by 22%
-This was compared to men who ejaculated up to
7 times a month
-Theorists say orgasm flushes out cancer-causing
chemicals and old cells
Regular orgasms can reduce the risk of prostate
cancer, a study has found.
Men who Erupt more regularly throughout their
lives lower their risk of the disease.
The researchers, from Harvard Medical School,
did not explain why orgasms could lower prostate
cancer risk.
However it has previously been theorised that
regular orgasms may flush out cancer-causing
chemicals in the prostate.
Another theory is that if sperm is regularly
cleaned out to allow new cells to develop, it helps
stop the build-up of old cells that might be more
likely to turn cancerous.
The prostate is a small satsuma-sized gland
located between a man's joystick and his bladder,
whose main function is to produce a thick white
fluid that is mixed with the sperm produced by
the testicles, to create Fluid.
The new study is the largest to date on the
frequency of expulsion and and prostate cancer.
The researchers found that men in the 40-49 age
bracket who Erupt 21 or more times a month
reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 22 per
cent.
This was compared to men who Erupt four to
seven times a month.
While the researchers said they were unclear as
to why expulsion lowers the chances of prostate
cancer, they called the results ‘particularly
encouraging.’
The study followed almost 32,000 healthy men for
18 years, 3,839 of whom later were diagnosed
with prostate cancer.
Men were asked about their average monthly
frequency of expulsion between the ages of 20 to
29, 40 to 49, and in 1991, the year prior to the
questionnaire.
They found that the more frequently a man
ejaculated throughout his life, the lower his risk of
prostate cancer at all three of these points in
time.
This was the case even when they adjusted their
results to take factors such as diet, lifestyle and
a history of prostate cancer screening into
account.
Dr Jennifer Rider, of Harvard Medical School and
Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said the results
are ‘particularly encouraging’ but should be
interpreted with caution.
She said: ‘While these data are the most
compelling to date on the potential benefit of
expulsion on prostate cancer development, they
are observational data and should be interpreted
somewhat cautiously.
‘At the same time, given the lack of modifiable
risk factors for prostate cancer, the results of this
study are particularly encouraging.’
She added more research should be carried out
into the specific changes in the prostate caused
by expulsion, to understand how it reduces the
risk of prostate cancer.
The research was presented at the American
Urological Society annual meeting in New Orleans
in May.
More than 1.1 million cases of prostate cancer
were recorded in 2012, accounting for around 8
per cent of all new cancer cases and 15 per cent
in men, according to figures from the World
Cancer Research Fund International.
The causes of prostate cancer are largely
unknown, but the chances of developing the
disease increase as a man gets older.
