Managing prostate health...without resorting to PMO ?

Hi all.
I have a question, and something to share.
First off, someone else linked a page from this website in another post. It's a great site with a lot of relevent and useful information, I thought it should be reposted so here it is.

My question (particularly for more experience guys here) is, how do you personally manage your prostate problems, particularly in the early days?

I think its safe to say that most men today have trained their prostate to overproduce due to excessive PMO, which then leads to issues when we try to quit it.

I am personally at the stage why my prostate is uncomfortably full by around the 10 day mark and after that, will start to leak seminal fluid at some really weird/random times.
If I have a sexual dream or become aroused in any way, the feeling of pressure down there become extremely uncomfortable. The easiest way to relieve that would be to masturbate but...thats exactly what we are trying to move away from!

So my question for guys who have been on this journey for a while - how did you manage the painful/swollen/leaking prostate in the early days, and how long did it take before your body adapted to the new way and things to stop feeling so uncomfortable down there? I really want to make this work but sometime the physical discomfort makes it just not worth it!

Cheers guys!

 

For me it's a feeling more like I need to pee all the time, but more of a dull ache sensation. I've not had the problem with unwanted erections except while in bed - morning wood is a regular thing again, which hasn't been the case since I was in my early 20s. My balls can feel very tender at times then fine other times. Seminal fluid dribbles out of my dick pretty much every time I take a dump. I suffered weeks of the worst insomnia I've ever had at the beginning. This is all stuff that nobody warns you about! Why..?

There are literally hundreds of videos on youtube from guys going on about how much better their life is since they quit masturbation yet I don't think a single one of them really talks about or acknowleges the physical difficulties in doing so. Embarrasment maybe? Trying to appear better than they really are?
At the end of the day guys need to know how their junk works and what's actually going to happen when they do this, but it seems like hardly anyone actually wants to talk about this side of it.
Don't get me wrong, I am still 100% for quitting porn. You will be happier, healthier and more empowered, but when you make any dramatic change to your lifestyle, it is going to have an affect on your body too, any doctor will tell you that. I don't think there is enough info out there and it's setting us up to "fail" or at least to suffer while we try to improve our lives
