Frequent sex: Does it protect against prostate cancer?

Is there research to support the theory that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer?

Updated: 2024-06-14


Answer Section

At this time, there is no conclusive evidence that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

Some studies have suggested that men with a higher frequency of ejaculations may have a slightly lower risk of prostate cancer. However, this difference appears to be very small. Other studies haven't supported this conclusion.
