"Young men who are suffering from non-bacterial prostatitis (NBP) should be encouraged to ejaculate regularly, for example by masturbation in the absence of a sexual relationship with a partner. We believe that normal sexual activity decreases the incidence of NBP in some cases"
This eight year study surveyed 29,342 men, ages 46-81 about their monthly ejaculation frequency, which "includes sexual intercourse, nocturnal emission and masturbation." They discovered that "most categories of ejaculation frequency were unrelated to risk of prostate cancer. However, high ejaculation frequency (over 21 ejaculations per month) was related to decreased risk of prostate cancer."
70% of patients had a significant decrease of symptoms on the National Institute of health's Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index by using the Stanford protocol of trigger point release and mindful relaxation. Using this protocol had "significant improvement in pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, libido, ejaculatory pain and erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction."
Some doctors believe that chronic prostatitis is related to chronically tense muscles of the pelvis, specifically the iliopsoas muscle. This research documents a 90-95% reduction in pain from the symptoms of prostatitis through deep tissue massage, daily stretching for 10 minutes and heat therapy on the pelvic muscles.
