Risk of Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis when not ejaculating

Hi intersting stuff.....I found info on pubmed but not allowed to put in linky that your right ........of course in in western medicine they generally say ejaculation is healthy to the prostate remember reading once many years ago that Monks have a higher rate of prostate cancer than others.....thing is as an older guy id say this forum is frequented by guys taking this nofap thing to the max and maybe once they have accomplished what they need then an old Chinese saying comes to mind ,everything in moderation including moderation.

 

By my experience, i can say that's true, i never had prostatitis in my life, and in nofap i started having those kind of problems, like urinating a lot, weak flow, finishing to pee and then still having more pee coming and things like that.

Many hear says that your body will get rid off excess of semen, but i don't think that's true.

 

I can relate to that. Every time I'm in "hard mode" I start urinating a lot more and sometimes it's hard to hold on because pressure builds up out of the blue. Not exactly having incontinence, but holding up for longer time becomes a real problem, especially when there is no toilet around. I never had wet dreams, not even after being in hard more for half a year. Maybe that's to blame. I also developed some serious right groin pain after 200 days or so. When I relapsed, pain went away after having couple of orgasm. So for me, side effects of having no orgasm are very real especially past two months period.

 

Honestly my problem is getting quite serious, today i risked to pee myself while driving, i find a abandoned house by the street and pee there, but i'm starting to think this is not good at all...

 

Same here. I hardly notice it when I'm in the office or at home, where toilet is always near. But I'm in serious trouble as soon as I go out for a few hours. Last time I nearly peed myself while desperately searching for toilets in huge shopping mall. We shouldn't have prostatitis. I believe it can develop in late 40s in some cases, but 50s are more common. It definitely is related to abstention, at least in my case.

 

Also for me, i never had those kind of problems before nofap.

 

Neither did I. When I stop "hard mode" everything goes to normal pretty quickly. Maybe build up fluids are pressuring bladder or something. If we had prostatitis we would have urges to pee but would have hard time doing it. I have no problem with urine flow when urinating.

 

i do a little, my stream is not as strong as usual, it used to be super strong before nofap.

 

Relating to prostatitis I have read multiple threads where people on nofap have had their prostate checked due to similar symptoms and have been cleared by a medical professional of any problem. There’s also the consideration that your body is adjusting and these are simply withdrawal symptoms that will subside once you’ve reached a certain point in your streak (I’ve read testimonies of dozens of people reporting increase in urination while on a reboot, at least temporarily). Lastly, there is the consideration that you may be putting extra stress on your prostate by being overly aroused with no release; are you constantly having sexual thoughts or ogling at women more than you should be? I notice in my case if I’m not controlling my sexual thoughts and am very aroused throughout the day I experience similar symptoms to what you describe. If I am in control of these thoughts and don’t allow them to cause me to fantasize to the point of becoming heavily aroused then I don’t seem to have any groin/pelvic pain and I pee normal throughout the day.

 

It can't be arousal problem, because I'm in flatline most of the time when in hard mode. My withdrawal symptoms are usually pretty severe. I have more problems fighting with chronic headaches, cold like symptoms, wild mood swings, depression, etc. than sexual cravings. Cravings are pretty much none existent during my reboot attempts.

 

Well, when in doubt visit a physician and get checked. But in my case these specific symptoms seem to at least by tied to excessive arousal. I do notice a slightly higher frequency in the urge to pee when on a streak in general. But I don’t experience the “pressure” hardly at all unless I’m overly aroused, and it seems to take several hours for this pressure to go away afterwards (providing I don’t allow myself to fantasize again in that amount of time). Almost seems like for me it’s more along the line of “blue balls”, although the pain is usually in my pelvis and lower abdomen, not my testicles...

 

Interesting post. The correlation you made about blue balls. Mine is more along the lines of abdomen, and pelvis as well. I still have the need to urinard at night but only because of waking in the middle of night.

 

You have any middle of the night wakings still. I am still doing this for at least the last month now. Hoping just a symptom and goes away but I wonder if PMO in the past before going to sleep brought this on..

 

Interesting to see that symptoms of prostatitis emerges when starting NoFap...I've had chronic non-bacterial prostatitis symptoms because of masturbating...as soon as I abstain however everything goes away, I feel better than ever, with no urges to pee, strong urine flow, just generally feeling very good down there, however if I relapse it comes back again. I've had an uti before so it might have something to do with that, I thought it was bacterial prostatitis but I've checked with doctors and all the results came back saying that there was no bacteria found in my urine at all. Just my two cents

 

It is true that abstaining from ejaculation is a cause of chronic prostatitis, but over-excessive sexual activity (including masturbation) is ALSO a cause of chronic prostatitis...then again, this field is still a scientific mystery, so I would say it varies from person to person.

 

Remember that, if you do not need to wake up in the night, or if your body does not wake on its own during the night to pee, then that is a very good sign there is no major problems with your bladder/prostate. Your urges to pee during the day may most likely be from 1. stress 2. Some form of chronic prostatitis 3. Uti 4. withdrawal symptoms
