My family has a history of prostate issues, so I try to stay informed. I've come across articles online claiming masturbation causes prostate cancer. Is this a proven risk factor, or should I not worry about it?

As someone who recently underwent prostate treatment and is now fully recovered, I discussed this thoroughly with my oncologist. There is absolutely no link between masturbation and cancer. The main risks are age and genetics, so regular PSA tests after 50 are what you really need to focus on.

Good news! No, it does not cause prostate cancer at all. Actually, some studies say frequent ejaculation might even help keep the prostate healthy! So relax and have a great day ahead.

I literally spend hours searching symptoms on Google and worrying myself sick, so I get the anxiety. But rest assured, I have checked multiple medical sites and they all say it doesn't cause cancer. Try to take a deep breath and stop searching for scary symptoms online.

I am not a doctor, but I had this exact scare a few years ago and read a lot of medical journals. In my experience, keeping active and eating a balanced diet has kept my prostate health markers perfectly normal. Don't let internet rumors scare you.

Listen buddy, don't stress too much about this. It is a completely baseless rumor that has been going around for ages. It is a normal physical release and won't give you cancer, so chill out and live your life!
