Question:

I am 17-years old and used to last a few minutes when having sex. Now I’m down to a minute. I masturbate a few times a day because I am addicted to it and can’t find a way to stop. I also used to have sex often with my girlfriend and still do, but lately I have stopped due to embarrassment of such early premature ejaculation. I leak a lot after going pee and have a weak flow of urine, the doctor recently put me on anti-inflammatory medication and antibiotics because my symptoms seemed to him like prostatitis, he never stated what kind or did any physical exams, just prescribed me the medicine.

I am really worried after doing lots of research and I don’t know what to do. If I keep masturbating could that make my prostatitis worse? Could masturbating a lot cause premature ejaculation at such a young age? If I keep masturbating will the medicine not heal my prostatitis? Could you please answer these questions? Thank you.


Answer:

Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) is rare in a 17-year old, but not unheard of. It is usually caused by a viral strain or infection (can also be fungal), which is why your doctor has prescribed the antibiotics. The anti-inflammatory medication is to help you alleviate the symptoms of poor urine flow. Premature ejaculation is also a symptom of prostatitis. The prostate gland produces, stores, and secretes semen. So any enlargement caused by inflammation will create pressure and affect your sexual functioning.

Knowledge of the prostate gland is still in its infancy. The truth is, doctors don’t always know why problems with it, such as prostatitis, occur. There are currently more questions than answers. If the antibiotics don’t work, your doctor will be stumped. If it gets worse, he’s going to recommend surgery, because that’s all he knows to do.

I want you remember this very important bit of information: RESORT TO SURGERY ONLY AS A LAST AND DESPERATE CHOICE. Prostate surgery has a very low success rate. They may be able to alleviate your systems, but it can also do more harm than good. That’s because surgery, known as a transurethral resection, involves sticking a long tool up the urethra (the opening from your penis, pass the prostate, and to your bladder) and then scraping the inflamed area away to make room.

Most times, this surgery leaves permanent scars that will still affect your urine flow and also cause permanent impotence. The “little blue pill” isn’t going to solve this problem.

So before you need surgery, take more steps to cure it. The best way is to take natural cures that contain nettle, saw palmetto, pygeum, and pumpkin seeds. These natural remedies have been tested and proven to do things that modern medicine can’t even come close to. There is no worry of interactions, so feel free to take these herbs while taking the medication you’re already on.

Other herbs like white peony, gardenia, and cistanche will also aid in the health of the prostate. But these are also designed to improve your body and further aid in your premature ejaculation.

As far as masturbation is considered, you should definitely reduce it. Over masturbation does cause premature ejaculation. Your prostate problem just makes a bad situation even worse. There is currently no conclusive proof, but there are indications that excessive masturbation will affect the health of the prostate.

So, decreasing your masturbation habits will definitely help your ejaculation problem and may also help your prostate. Masturbation won’t interfere with the medicine, except by making the problems even harder to cure. Bottom line: reduce it – but cut it out while your healing, if possible.

If you’re seriously addicted to masturbation and can’t even reduce it for your own health, then you have a serious problem. Consider finding psychological help. An addiction is an addiction, regardless of whether it’s for smoking, alcohol, drugs, or sex.
