Good stuff there. Thanks.
I do get ~annual PSA tests. And if I tested positive, I'd have a biopsy. And if it was low-grade, I'd just get tested more often.
And then there's this study, which I have taken to heart: "Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer:
Updated Results with an Additional Decade of Follow-up".[0]
> Patient summary: We evaluated whether ejaculation frequency throughout adulthood is related to prostate cancer risk in a large US-based study. We found that men reporting higher compared to lower ejaculatory frequency in adulthood were less likely to be subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer.

- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI seem to remember there is also a strong association between the more deadly forms of prostate cancer and STD's.
- mirimir 7y agoYes, trichomoniasis.[0] From Medscape:[1] > Trichomoniasis is one of the most common STIs in the United States, with a prevalence estimated at 8 million cases annually; however, exact numbers are difficult to obtain because the infection is not nationally reportable and many infections are asymptomatic. ... Prevalence is also thought to be underestimated owing to the low sensitivity of the commonly used wet mount technique. Yet another reason for safe sex. Or no sex, which is safer. 0) https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/trichomoniasis https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/trichomoniasis 1) https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/230617-overview https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/230617-overview
