Ejaculation and PSA Levels

 

Morning

Rick has not been able to post to his blog Sicko Ricko's Crap due to a regional internet outage. The repair ETA is Friday afternoon.

"Since I'll be 40 this year I and decided to go for a full physical. New doc and very thorough. Asked all the right question about sex life and masturbation. Found a hard spot on my left nut so he's sending me for an ultrasound on that. and a blood test with a warning not to nut for at least 48 hours beforehand. what's the deal? Is that for my balls or what?"

Smart doctor you have there! No, he wants you to refrain from ejaculation prior to a blood test because cumming increases the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in the bloodstream. And those levels can remain elevated for up to 48 hours.

According to a report by the NIH (National Institute of Health (before wormbrain took over), ejaculation will cause a mild rise in the serum prostate-specific antigen. Certain medications can also increase those levels. But, because most physicians don't warn men, those increases have caused a number of men to be sent for unneeded prostate biopsies.

Be happy your doctor told you not to nut. He just saved you from the anxiety of a false-positive for prostate cancer, and a painful procedure. Facing the possibility of testicular cancer, that's the last thing you need.

So, my advice is: Listen to your doctor. Schedule your blood test far enough ahead of time that you can get your nut beforehand.

Or, wait until after the blood draw.

Slightly Weird

 

Morning.

"I have a slightly weird question, I had a weird dream where I cut of my dick at the base and then later on i reattached it by simply holding at the base and it re attached, now I want to make it clear and I’m not trying to show off here but I love having a dick and I make very good use of it, my question is how common is it to have dreams like this, is it a sign of ill health like when you hear stories about people having nightmares or bad dreams about a particular part of their body and then they discover that they actually have a problem there, I take good care of my body and the dream wasen’t even a nightmare it was just one of those weird abstract dreams, sorry for the long question I was just curious about the meaning of the dream."

I'm not Psychologist, or dream interpreter. But I think I know what Freud would've said. That you think you may hate your dick and wish to have it removed. Yet, deep down, you know you treasure it and the pleasure it provides. 

 

To allay any fear, you might want to schedule a complete physical. From head to toes and everything in between.

Any other thoughts, Readers?

What's the Significance

 

Morning

"You've been posting morning boners every day now for a long time. What's the significance?"

Waking on a very consistent basis without a hard-on is a sign that something is wrong, somewhere. If you have trouble getting hard on demand, don't go running to a doctor asking for boner pills --- especially from one of the online places. They can't do a physical exam and get to the bottom of the issue. They'll ask a few questions and send the meds. They're treating the symptom - not the underlying condition.

Never take morning wood for granted. That is one of the most important erections of your day. Your cock is talking to you --- pay attention. You are at your most relaxed mental state, Testosterone is topped off, and you should be waking up with a good, solid boner the vast majority of the time.

How Important Is It?

Good morning.

"You've been posting morning wood pics with every post and I got to wondering. How important is it? I used to get those all the time when I was a teen. I'm in my mid 20s and can't remember the last time I woke up hard. Should I be worried?"

Spontaneous erections are vital to the health of the inner tissue of your cock. But the important question here is: Are you able to get a hard-on with a partner or spouse? Or when you want to masturbate? If so, then I'd assume you are getting those nighttime boners, but they dissipate before you wake up.

If you can't get erections "on demand," schedule an appointment with your doctor. He'll have you test yourself for nocturnal erections to determine not only if you have them but how hard they get (there's a device he can give you for that). From there, he can provide suggestions for treatment.

I know there are lots of online places to get boner pills, but in-person exams are much more thorough. An online doc relies on the patient for data entry of vitals (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, etc), and to palpate affected areas. I know very few people who are equipped for those things.

I mean, sure, you can touch and squeeze and push your fingers around down there,

but a doctor knows what he's looking for.
