    Prostatic Congestion
    Prostatic congestion is exactly what the name describes – it is congestion of fluid within the prostate gland that isn’t released through ejaculation. This congestion causes the prostate, and even the seminal vesicles, to swell with fluid. The area that becomes most congested is often the peripheral zone of the prostate where prostatic fluid is produced. In some cases, prostatic congestion may be the same disease as non-bacterial prostatitis with simply more congestive symptoms rather than pain symptoms.


    This is an often overlooked disorder that can go unnoticed in men that are sexually active or men who masturbate frequently since frequent ejaculation oftentimes relieves congestive symptoms. For this reason, men who rely on wet dreams for ejaculation often can manifest with symptoms more easily. In fact, men who suddenly become sexually inactive or stop masturbating may be the most symptomatic. For this reason, prostatic congestion can often be a major roadblock in men trying to overcome a masturbation and/or pornography addiction.


    Symptoms of prostatic congestion consist largely of a man feeling “full” in the prostate and/or seminal vesicles and feeling the need to ejaculate, even when not sexually aroused. This can sometimes feel like sexual fluid being backed up behind the penis in the pubic hair area. Some men feel this in the prostate area (often described as "deep inside" or on the perineum (where they sit on a bike) that my feel congested or even "buzz". Symptoms of needing to ejaculate or feeling congested can increase during the night or early morning after experiencing nocturnal erections. This often results in men ejaculating more frequently. In men who are not sexually active, this can increase masturbation frequency and those who do masturbate frequently may actually "mask" their symptoms. In men who do not masturbate for moral or religious reasons, this can also be highly distressing emotionally since the temptation to masturbate is typically extremely high. In fact, these sexually inactive/non-masturbating men often experience more symptoms then men who ejaculate regularly. This often leads to extremely frequent wet dreams or repeated failed wet dream attempts and severe congestion. In many some cases, this can ultimately result in the individual giving in to the temptation and masturbating against their personal/religious beliefs to relieve congestion which can be emotionally and/or spiritually devastating in some cases.


    Sometimes a man may also notice prostate fluid released without ejaculation. This can occur when the prostate gland is congested and full and a bowel movement can press prostate fluid into the urethra where it then “oozes” out or is flushed out by urine. This is called prostatorrhea and can be mistaken for thick urine because it typically isn’t white in color like semen (it’s often a clear to light yellow thick and sticky fluid). This occurs because the peripheral (outside) zone of the prostate becomes engorged with fluid).


    Because of this increased fluid backup, men may also notice that semen volumes may be larger and they may notice that they ejaculate longer in order to release the excess fluid. Men who are not sexually active may notice heavy wet dreams in which their underwear is completely soaked through. They may also notice more frequent wet dreams (or attempts by the body to have a wet dream) as the body tries to relieve itself of excess congestion.


    How is prostatitis treated?
    Treatment of your prostatitis will depend on the cause of your prostatitis, your signs and symptoms, and other factors. Prostatitis may be treated with the following:

    • Prostate massage: Prostate massage may be used to treat chronic prostatitis. It may help decrease fullness and prevent infection.
    • Heat therapy: Place a heating pad on the prostate area to help blood flow to that area. Warm baths may decrease prostate fullness and discomfort.
    • Medicines:
      • Alpha blockers: This medicine relaxes the muscles in your prostate and bladder. It may help you urinate more easily.
      • Antibiotics: This medicine is given to help treat or prevent an infection caused by bacteria.
      • NSAIDs: These medicines decrease swelling, pain, and fever. NSAIDs are available without a doctor's order. Ask your healthcare provider which medicine is right for you. Ask how much to take and when to take it. Take as directed. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding and kidney problems if not taken correctly.
      • Pain medicine: You may be given a prescription medicine to decrease pain. Do not wait until the pain is severe before you take this medicine.

    Thanks for the post! This was hugely informative.

    I recently stopped cold turkey after masturbating regularly for years and even though I'm coming up on a month clean I still pass prostate fluid during bowel movements, though I always assumed it was semen.

    I'm hoping that eventually this slows down, although it never causes me any pain or seems to affect me in any way. I also haven't felt that it's causing me a stronger desire to relapse since I am pretty solidly in the flatline and have practically no libido.

    Two weeks ago I had two wet dreams in the same week (basically in the second week of nofap). But then I seem to have entered the flatline, and in the few weeks after that I haven't had a single wet dream so I've noticed more prostate fluid passing in urine.

    How long would you estimate it will take for this to stop? I know everyone is different - I just figured it would stop after like 2 weeks, but maybe it will take 2 months or something.

    It will stop base on the strength of your bodily constitution and your method of health cultivation.

  6. I think this is what exactly i have been feeling all these times where I tried to quit masturbation. Do the automatic prostate massagers help with this?
