Masturbation cause cancer?

The young men who masturbate will have a greater risk of prostate cancer in the elderly as they will, but instead satisfy themselves in middle age will actually protect from the occurrence of tumors.

The relationship was discovered by researchers from Nottingham University which examined the sexual life of 800 men. Half of those diagnosed with cancer and the remaining free of the disease.

They were asked how often to have sex and masturbation, and how many partners they had during the age of 20 years, 30 years, 40 years and 50 years.

The researchers found 40% of men suffering from prostate cancer, the report showed that sexual activity of their highest.

More than a third said they had to masturbate as much as 2 to seven times a week when they were 20 years old. The same pattern continued at the age of 30 years.

But in middle age, the fact it turned. Men who masturbate have probably affected the smallest tumors.

During this already known that prostate cancer associated with testosterone levels of male hormones which regulate the sex drive in men.

Dr. Polyxeni Dimitropoulou, who led the study, said: "the male sex drive is also regulated by the levels of their hormones, so this research to prove the truth of the theory that has a high sex drive would result in the risk of prostate cancer."

"We found a very close relationship between prostate cancer with sexual activity in men aged 20 years, and between masturbation with prostate cancer at the age of 20 and 30 of their annual," he said.

Dr. Dimitropoulou added: "The most likely explanation why men masturbate at the age of just 50 years of protection effect is the release of toxins that accumulate during sexual activity. It certainly would reduce the risk of developing cancer in the prostate."

Every year many cases of prostate cancer, but mostly elderly men, particularly in men aged 70 years and over.
