A member asked:
For a guy who has been diagnosed with prostatitis in the past, can very excessive masturbation actually cause a recurrence because of prostate stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prostatitis: No. Quite the contrary. Frequent ejaculations are helpful in clearing chronic prostatitis.
