During my early 40′s I quite suddenly began to experience pain when ejaculating. At first I thought it was a temporary infection but I never returned to normal. After recent medical checks I discovered my prostate had slightly enlarged (though no cancer) so maybe this has led to the pain/lack of any kind of “force” during ejaculation/reduced ejaculate/no orgasm. Now not surprisingly I have much less desire + I can hardly be bothered to have sex. Can I rectify this problem or is it just the ageing process? I do not have any problems achieving an erection .

Sometimes, relief from prostate pain and discomfort will become a priority especially if you suffer from chronic prostatitis. I want to outline in this article, six ways which will help you to keep your prostate healthy. This article does not cover medication or prostate massage.

Frequent ejaculation by men, whether by masturbation or by sexual intercourse, has been found to keep the prostate gland healthy. This was the conclusion at the end of a study done by The Cancer Council Victoria in Australia who wanted to see if there was a connection between ejaculation and prostate cancer. The study found that the ducts are cleared out by ejaculation and the more frequent this is, the better as it clears the gland of toxins, carcinogens and other debris.

I have always suspected that massage is the key to a healthy prostate anyway and may prevent prostate cancer. It is nice, for once, to find something

that is good for your health that does not have to be unpleasant or uncomfortable to use and really feels great.

As men get older, it just seems to be a matter of time before their prostate starts giving them trouble and affecting their health.  By the time they reach retirement age, most men will have experienced hypertrophy of the prostate, a condition in which the prostate gland grows putting increased pressure on the urethra. This condition leads to difficulty urinating and increases the risk of bladder infections as well as other types of kidney damage. Thankfully, there are many foods out there that can help offset any potential prostate problems if you choose to include them into your diet. Many of these prostate friendly foods are probably already part of your diet.

Statistics show that most men will develop prostate problems as they age. Most men have no problems with their prostate gland in their early years. Some time after their forty years, many men start to experience prostate problems. The problems can be uncomfortable. It is often benign but can be indicative of something very serious such as prostate cancer. Prostate is a fairly common cancer and it is hard to treat if not detected early. Fortunately, there are many tests for prostate gland and the serious problems can usually be cured.

Although these problems are not life threatening, they are certainly very inconvenient and annoying. The prostate gland sometimes becomes enlarged and squeezes on the urinary system. The men affected by an enlarged prostate gland find that they have an urge to urinate often but when they try to urinate, the urine stream is weak or not existent.

As we mentioned in the previous articles, we know that starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and other problems. In this article, we will discuss activities promoting a healthy prostate.

1. Moderate exercise (like walking)
We know that one half to three-quarters of men older than 75 will have some cancerous changes in their prostate glands. People doing moderate exercise like walking for 2 to 3 hours per week had a 25 percent less risk of developing prostate problems than those who did not. Just 20-30 minutes walking a day would help to increase circulation of blood to the body as a side benefit for better sexual function and prostate health.

Prostate massages have been performed for centuries both for pleasure and for medical reasons. Also known as prostate milking, the process may be done internally and externally. Internally, it involves inserting into the rectum a finger or one of the prostate massagers out in the market. Externally, it requires stimulating the prostate through the perineum, but this is not as effective as the internal version.

It’s never too early for any man to start thinking about the health of his prostate. Although prostate dysfunction is more likely to afflict men in their 50s and older, even younger men can have prostate trouble, especially if it runs in the family.
