Will frequent masturbation cause prostate cancer?

In clinical practice, masturbation generally refers to self-pleasure. Frequent masturbation does not usually lead to prostate cancer, so there is no need to worry too much.

Masturbation is a normal physiological activity. If you can masturbate moderately in daily life, it can relieve mental stress to a certain extent and meet physiological needs. However, if you masturbate frequently or do not pay attention to maintaining personal hygiene during masturbation, it may cause diseases such as prostatitis and balanitis, but it usually does not induce prostate cancer.

The cause of prostate cancer may be related to age factors. The older you are, the greater the risk of the disease. It may also be related to genetic factors. If there are patients with the disease in the family, the chance of getting the disease will increase. In addition, smoking and drinking may also induce the disease. After the disease occurs, symptoms such as hematospermia, frequent urination, and urgency may appear. Patients may also have symptoms such as urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. If it is in the early stage of the disease, it can be treated with surgery. The more common surgical methods usually include bilateral orchiectomy and radical prostatectomy. If it is in the late stage of the disease, it can be treated with chemotherapy drugs such as oxaliplatin injection, capecitabine tablets, and paclitaxel injection under the guidance of a doctor.

During the treatment with the doctor, you also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood. You can relieve mental stress by listening to music, crosstalk, etc. and avoid being too nervous.
