If you are a man, or have prostate glands like those of every man, there is a new recipe to lower the risk of getting prostate cancer: masturbate regularly. Regular masturbation, according to research Cancer Council Victoria, Melbourne, cleaning chemicals cause cancer of the prostate gland. "The chemicals that can trigger cancer would accumulate in the prostate gland, if he never ejaculates on a regular basis," the researchers said, as quoted by the latest News Scientist.
The prostate is a gland produces a special liquid to mix cement. Semen is the fluid in which sperm swim. Prostatic fluid produced plays activates sperm and prevents sperm-number could be millions in just one-milliliter cling to each other. Prostate located under the bladder, in front of the rectum, and the size of a walnut. Only men who have prostate, so it's just sex is a cancerous prostate.
The researchers found a link between masturbation and prostate cancer risk after examining 1079 men with prostate cancer and 1,250 men who were cancer-free. The team - under the leadership of Graham Giles - found that prostate cancer is less occur on men aged 20-50 years and regularly ejaculate, compared with men in the same range and sometimes ejaculate. The greatest anticancer is masturbation, in their 20s. Just for tips, if you ejaculated more than five times a week, your risk of developing prostate cancer later in life declined by a third.
Giles and his colleagues think, ejaculation may prevent the accumulation of carcinogenic compounds (carcinogens) in the prostate gland. The prostate is a "pool carcinogenic" containing a variety of compounds in high concentrations of potentially harmful cells, including potassium, zinc, fructose and citric acid completely sheer. Animal studies have shown, the body also collects cancer-causing compounds, such as 3-methylchloranthrene found in cigarette smoke, in the prostate. All the compounds were drawn into the prostate gland from the blood.
"This," said Giles, "is the hypothesis of 'prostate stagnated.'". The more often you flush the line, he continued, getting less carcinogenic compounds attach to and injure the walls of the cells that contain it, such as the relationship between breast cancer and breastfeeding: breastfeeding means rinsing the carcinogens in the breast cancer risk and the result was down. Ejaculation, Giles added, may also stimulate the prostate gland to mature fully. Thus, the prostate is more difficult tampered carcinogen compounds.
Giles also said the results did not contradict the results of previous studies. Giles referred to research that is research that shows, the higher the activity of intercourse (with many people or not) increase the risk of prostate cancer by 40 percent. He said the earlier studies could not record a beneficial effect of ejaculations, and even gave the opposite conclusion, because the focus on gender relations-are associated with the risk of getting an infection transmitted through sexual contact, and known to increase risk of cancer in men. In fact, "If the ejaculate is separated from sexual intercourse, as can be provided through masturbation, ejaculation prostate-cancer effect is even stronger," he said.
Giles seems correct. "This theory makes sense," said Dr Chris Hiley, head of research policy and the UK Prostate Cancer Charity. Anthony Smith, deputy director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University, Melbourne, said the research could affect the shape of the doctor's advice about the lifestyle of patients. At least, "This is a perfect reason that men should be encouraged to masturbate.".
