A member asked:

Will ejaculation shrink the prostate?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Shouldn't: Ejaculation is a normal physiologic mechanism for release of semen. Should not have any effect on prostatic size. Only exception would be if prostatic ducts were blocked/plugged for a time ; became unplagged coincident with an ejaculation.
