*PROSTATE HEALTH AWARENESS*

Gentlemen,

I am here to speak with you on *Prostate.* The topic is vast. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, husband, neighbour, colleague...

Essentially, what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things:

1. Information
2. Re-assurance
3. A plan of action.

Let me start with a background on prostate health.

Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the *urinary bladder.*

If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping.

Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think of the urinary bladder as the overhead storage tank. From the storage tank, a good plumber will run pipes to other parts of the house, including the kitchen. God in His infinite wisdom ran pipes from our urinary bladder to the tip of the p***s. The pipe is called the *urethra.* Just below the bladder and surrounding the urethra is a little organ called the *prostate gland.*

The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and weighs about 20grams. Its job is to make the seminal fluid which is stored in the seminal vesicle. During s*xual in*******se, seminal fluid comes down the urethra and mixes with the s***ms produced in the testicles to form the semen. So semen technically is not s***m. It is s***m + seminal fluid. The seminal fluid lubricates the s***m.

After age 40, for reasons that may be hormonal, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. From 20 grams it may grow to almost 100 grams. As it enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinates.

If you have a son under 10, if he has a little mischief like we all did at that age, when he comes out to urinate, he can target the ceiling and the jet will hit target. Call his father to do same, wahala dey. His urine stream is weak, cannot travel a long distance and sometimes may come straight down on his legs. So he may need to stand in awkward position to urinate.

Not many men will be worried their urine stream cannot hit the ceiling. Toilets are on the floor and not on the ceiling. But other symptoms begin to show.

*TERMINAL DRIPPLING.*

The man begins to notice that after urinating and repacking, urine still drops on his pants. This is the reason why after an older man urinates, he has to ring bell. A younger man simply delivers to the last drop and walks away. Just see an older man coming from the bathroom. Sometimes he may clutch the newspaper closely to hide the urine stains, particularly on plain colored trousers.

*HESISTANCY*

At this point you wait longer for the urine flow to start. There are 2 valves that must open for you to urinate – the internal and external sphincters. Both open but because of obstructions in the urethra, you wait longer for the flow to start.

*INCOMPLETE EMPTYING*

You have this feeling immediately after urinating that there is still something left.

As all these things happen, the bladder begins to work harder to compensate for the obstruction in the urethra. The frequency of urination goes up. Urgency sets in. Sometimes you have to practically run into the toilet. Nocturia also becomes common. You wake up more than 2 times at night to urinate. Your wife begins to complain.

Men being men may not talk to anyone even at this point. Then the more serious complications start.

Stored urine gets infected and there may be burning sensation when urinating.

Stored urine forms *crystals.* Crystals come together to form *stones* either in the bladder or in the kidney. Stones may block the urethra.

Chronic urinary retention sets in. The bladder stores more and more urine. The size of the bladder is 40 - 60cl. A bottle of coke is 50cl. As the bladder stores more urine it can enlarge up to 300cl. An overfilled bladder may leak and this leads to wetting / urinary incontinence. Also the volume may put pressure on the kidney and may lead to kidney damage.

What may likely bring the man to hospital is acute urinary retention. He wakes up one day and he is not able to pass urine.

Everything I have described above is associated with prostate enlargement, technically called Benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH).

There are other diseases of the prostate like:

1. Prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate

2. Prostate cancer – cancer of the prostate.

*This discussion is on prostate enlargement.*

I have bad news and good news.

The bad news is that everyman will have prostate enlargement if he lives long enough.

The good news is that there are life style changes that can help the man after 40 to maintain optimum prostate health.

*NUTRITION*

Look at what you eat. 33% of all cancers, according to the US National Cancer Institute is related to what we eat.
Red meat everyday triples your chances of prostate disease. Milk everyday doubles your risk. Not taking fruits / vegetables daily quadruples your risk.

Tomatoes are very good for men. If that is the only thing your wife can present in the evening, eat it with joy. It has loads of *lycopene.* Lycopene is the most potent natural antioxidant.
Foods that are rich in zinc are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seeds *(ugbógulù).*
Zinc is about the most essential element for male s*xuality and fertility.

Men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ej******es he loses 15mg of zinc. Zinc is also important for alcohol metabolism. Your liver needs zinc to metabolize alcohol.

*ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION*

As men begin to have urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement, it is important they look at alcohol consumption. More fluid in means more fluid out.

Drink less. Drink slowly.

*EXERCISE*

Exercise helps build the muscle tone. Every man should exercise. Men over 40 should avoid high impact exercise like jogging. It puts pressure on the knees. Cycling is bad news for the prostate. We recommend brisk walking.

*SITTING*

When we sit, two-third of our weight rests on the pelvic bones. Men who sit longer are more prone to prostate symptoms. Do not sit for long hours. Walk around as often as you can. Sit on comfortable chairs. We recommend a divided saddle chair if you must sit long hours.

*DRESSING*

Men should avoid tight underwear. It impacts circulation around the groin and heats it up a bit. While the physiological temperature is 37 degrees, the groin has an optimal temperature of about 33 degrees. Pant is a no - no for men. Wear boxers. Wear breathable clothing.

*SMOKING*

Avoid smoking. It affects blood vessels and impact circulation around the groin.

*S*X*

Regular s*x is good for the prostate.

Celibates are more prone to prostate illness. While celibacy is a moral decision, it is not a biological adaptation. Your prostate gland is designed to empty its contents(semen) regularly.

Without Regular S*x Women Risk Mental Disorder – Psychiatrist.

A psychiatrist, Dr Maymunah Kadiri on Saturday advised married women to have regular s*x with their spouses in order to prevent depression and gain happiness.

Depression is a common mental disorder that causes people to experience depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration.

Kadiri, the Medical Director of Pinnacle Medical Services gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Pinnacle is a health and wellness centre for psychological, behavioral, and mental health related issues.

According to her, s*x is not just to nourish a woman’s body, but it is also beneficial to her mental health.

“As women, there is need for us to make our spouses our best friends if we want to be mentally healthy.

“Studies have shown that women who have more active s*x and in long term relationships were less likely to be depressed than women who went without s*x.

“So, more s*x is important and essential. It is a remedy to curing women from having persistent headache.

“Low s*xual drive, which leads to depression, should be looked into. A woman can be depressed when that s*xual drive that she used to have is no more there.

“Frequent active s*x can play good roles toward women’s sense of well being and quality of life,’’ Kadiri said.

She explained that s*x was not just for procreation and to have children, adding that it could create bonding, good companionship and sound sleep.

Kadiri, popularly called ‘celebrity shrink’, urged women dealing with depression to frequently indulge in s*x, while boosting their self-esteem.

She also advised women who are over-weight to also involve in active s*x, saying doing so will boost endorphins which are happy hormones.

“The happy hormones will make them lose some calories as well as sleep better.

”Orgasms trigger the release of endorphins which are happy hormones secreted by the brain that act as effective painkillers,’’ she said.

She added that s*x was not only beneficial to the men, but especially to women because it was capable of freeing them from stress.
S*x accordingly. (For married ones only). A lot of people don't associate s*x with God - they associate it with Satan and darkness, as if s*x is not holy .S*x is holy within marriage, and there is no prescribed style.

Not discussing s*x in a relationship leads to divorce!! I have counseled women who've complained: my husband treats me as if I were his sister. There was one who told me: I am tired of getting s*x fortnightly, like a salary. I told her she was lucky to be getting s*x fortnightly, since some wives only get it on big days, like elections and Christmas and birthdays

Many husbands leave their wives to seek s*xual pleasures in Avenues . Have you ever asked yourself what those women have that you don't. Wives have become very frigid and even sleep with their panties. If you're a married woman, you should sleep naked and let your bum touch your husband.

Today you find men going out of their way to get a glimpse of a va**na. They page through magazines and even go to lingerie departments in stores hoping to see what's hidden under panties because their wives hide it from them. Marriage is about being free with your body in front of your partner.

A woman should parade naked and do some modeling to tempt her husband. There are many married women who don't know what their husband's p***ses looks like. She only feels it when he enters her. They've never touched it, let alone seen it, because the husband switches off the lights before un******ng. A p***s is a wife's toy - she is supposed to play with it.

I blame couples for not making time for s*x and complaining about being tired after a day's work. You find many couples who've been s*xually starved for years. God created s*x for procreation and also for pleasure. You can't marry and not have a good time in bed.

WHO SAID YOU CAN ONLY HAVE S*X AT NIGHT?

Why can't you drive home during lunch and have a quickie with your wife? We're all equal in s*x - it's not just about a woman satisfying a man. You have to satisfy each other. Have you ever seen a woman who has been satisfied? Have u noticed how she glows and becomes energetic?
May God Bless you.

This is the Whole Truth, Nothing But The Truth. Once you read this you have to keep it going. Age has nothing to do with s*x. The older u are the more u should enjoy it but do it in God's way.

Make sure your spouse reads this. Also Send to all your married friends, Grandmas & grandpas send it to your married children. You may just be saving a marriage from divorce.
