Case #: 480
Concern：
I am a 73-year-old man who is still very sexually active. On average, I have sex about five times a week. I have noticed that my urethra or prostate seemed to be irritated. Whenever I have a buildup of urine, I feel a painful burning sensation in my prostate and bladder. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?
Discussion：
You are suffering from an enlarged prostate caused by a testosterone imbalance. Your prostate is located just below your bladder and is attached to your urethra.
Its primary job is to produce semen. When the hormones in your body become unbalanced, it can cause the prostate to become swollen, leading to a compression of the urethra. This may cause a buildup of urine. The buildup can cause pain in your kidneys and urethra.
The Basics of Prostate Enlargement
Men experience a growth in their prostate twice. The first growth spurt occurs during puberty and the second occurs in the mid to late 40s. When the prostate grows larger, it can push against other tissue and organs, including the urethra and bladder. This pressure can cause pain and even affect sexual function.
If you masturbate excessively or have sex often, your hormones may have become imbalanced. Since your prostate is responsible for making semen, hormones send signals to it. If your testosterone levels are too high or low, your prostate may be overworked and could become swollen.
This adds even more pressure to your urethra and bladder. Common symptoms of a compressed bladder and urethra caused by a swollen prostate include straining to urinate, urgent need to urinate, increased frequency of urination, the inability to empty your bladder, blood in the urine and frequent urinary tract infections.

Getting Help
If you want to reduce the swelling in your prostate and bring your hormone levels back to normal, you have to give your body time to recover after sex and masturbation. Older men need more time to recover than younger men, and since you are in your 70s, you should give your body at least a week to recover. During this time, testosterone and other hormones such as prostaglandin E-2 will be restored to normal levels.
Once your hormone levels are normal again, you should give yourself at least 24-48 hours to recover between ejaculations. This will help prevent another hormone imbalance, reduce the inflammation in your prostate and relieve the pressure on your urethra and bladder.
If you want to speed up the process of recovery, try taking herbal supplements. These supplements are designed to help balance your hormone levels and restore your prostate to its original size. They can also soothe and ease the symptoms of an aged bladder.
