I'm enjoying looking after myself in this respect, but is there any truth in the idea? gavC 04-26-2006 @ 10:39 AM                           reply Member Joined: Aug 2005 I have taken part in a clinical trials taking medication for prostate conditions and one of the doctors told us something similar to what you wrote - the gist i got was that the more the prostate is used the less problems can be envisaged in the future. Why are you worried anyways do you have a history of this condition or does your family? blackherring 04-27-2006 @ 10:20 PM                           reply Member Joined: Apr 2006 Some family history of non-fatal prostate cancer - no symptoms myself - but reluctant to take psi test because of uncertainty about high false-positive rates. Would prefer to keep gland as long as possible.
