Harvard University study found that increased masturbation reduces the risk of getting prostate cancer. One in seven men will get prostate cancer in the US during his lifetime.
Last year, 161,360 men were diagnosed with the disease - of which, almost 27,000 died. The survival rate of prostate cancer patients is relatively high compared to other types of cancer and depending on the stage of the cancer, the treatment varies from non-invasive to surgical. Radiation therapy and surgery (radical prostatectomy) are available for localized tumors, but treatment can leave the patient with life-changing effects.
