Frequent Ejaculation May Lower Mortality Risk, Suggests Online Doctor

Regular ejaculation may significantly reduce a man's risk of death, according to a popular urologist who highlights its role as a natural anti-aging agent for the brain. The physician points to research indicating that men with higher ejaculation frequencies have a notably lower overall mortality rate compared to those with less frequent ejaculations.

During orgasm, the brain releases a surge of four crucial chemicals: dopamine, which brings pleasure and motivation; beta-endorphins, which help with pain relief and stress reduction; oxytocin, which enhances feelings of well-being and security; and serotonin, which stabilizes mood and improves sleep. These neurochemicals collectively combat stress and reduce inflammation, effectively acting as a "natural anti-aging shot" for the brain, the doctor explained.

Previous studies have suggested that ejaculating around 21 times a month could lower the risk of prostate cancer. However, this has been seen as an unattainable goal for many, leading to pressure and difficulty achieving erections. The urologist emphasizes that a lower frequency, specifically less than three ejaculations per month, may increase the risk of prostate cancer by 2.3 times and the risk of severe illness by 1.7 times.

To maintain prostate health and boost overall immunity, the doctor recommends men aim for a frequency of at least three to four ejaculations per month. He also advises that symptoms like difficulty ejaculating, decreased libido, fatigue, or poor concentration should not be dismissed as mere signs of aging. These could indicate insufficient testosterone levels, a condition known as male menopause, which, if left untreated, can increase mortality risk by 2.3 times compared to those who receive treatment. Some medications, including those for hair loss or depression, may also contribute to ejaculation disorders.
