Introduction
The main caused of Enlarged Prostate problem or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is unknown until know and it is a common opinion that the prostate gland (a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system) to become enlarged as a man ages, and half of old men are indicated to have some symptoms of enlarged prostate such as a weak stream, feeling that the bladder has not fully emptied, difficulty starting the urine flow even when the bladder feels full, more frequent urination especially at night, etc.

In this article, I am trying to analyze the cause of enlarged prostate problem (BPH) from the temperature shock point of view; and I hope this article can be an idea for further research on enlarged prostate problem and prostate cancer possibility.


Temperature Shock
Temperature shock is a condition when our body encounters external things or environments that have a different temperature from our body and some of the body’s energy is released to adjust to that difference
[1]
Temperature shock to our body can be from cold or hot drinking water, cold or hot water for bathing and swimming, cold or hot air or weather. Hypothermia (caused by cold temperature environment) is also an example of temperature shock and can cause death to a person.


Enlarged Prostate problem and Temperature Shock
If there are two nude men, one is circumcised (the glans/penis-head is in open position) and the other one is uncircumcised laying under sun light and the weather temperature is around 42˚ Celsius or 107.6˚ Fahrenheit (a few degree above body temperature, 37˚ Celsius or 98.5˚ Fahrenheit) up to an hour, which one will have more chance of problems or infection on their glans (penis-head)? It should be the circumcised man, because no skin to protect the glans, and the heat at glans will be transmitted to nearest part, which is prostate by the nerve and blood or blood vessel.

If there are two nude men, one is circumcised and the other is uncircumcised in a swimming pool at 20˚ Celsius or 68˚ Fahrenheit for an hour, which one will feel uncomfortable at their glans? It should be the circumcised man, because there is no foreskin to protect the glans from outside cold temperature. The cold temperature at the glans will be transmitted to prostate by the nerve and blood or blood vessel. For more extreme, we can change the swimming pool temperature to 10˚ Celsius or 50 Fahrenheit.

Based on those 2 illustrations, we can say that if the glans is in open position (no foreskin or the foreskin is retracted) there is bigger risk of temperature shock to glans and the prostate. In daily life this temperature shock can be happened to both circumcised and uncircumcised men. For uncircumcised men, washing glans with cold water by retracting the foreskin will make the condition the same as circumcised men.

The biggest temperature shock to the prostate could happen when a man (circumcised or uncircumcised) is washing his glans with cold water or water at air conditioned temperature immediately after ejaculation (having sex or masturbation). That cold water will shock the nerve, blood vessel, and prostate which are in active condition. In normal sex intercourse, the glans is expecting warm temperature which is vagina temperature or body temperature not the cold temperature.

This condition is similar to a hot-running machine suddenly poured with cold water, and that machine will be in trouble in long run. Even a hot glass can be easily cracked if it is suddenly poured with cold water. For comparison, you can search in Google with keyword “temperature shock” to see the effects on a machine condition caused by temperature shock.

We are not focusing on circumcision here as there are pro and contra on that topic and it can be an endless debate, because both of them have positive and negative points; we want to point that the enlarged prostate problem (BPH) can be happened to both circumcised and uncircumcised men as explained above.

By logic, the prostate should not get bigger itself, because none of our body is getting bigger such as kidney, penis, testis, lungs, lymph, etc. even if they get a bit bigger, they should not disturb daily life activity, such as urinate activity in enlarged prostate problem; there must be something cause it bigger, and from this analysis, a regular temperature shock to the glans is the main suspect of enlarged prostate problem (BPH).


Japanese “Jacuzzi”
There is a good habit from Japanese people to have “Jacuzzi” (stay in a warm bathtub). The ideal water temperature in “Jacuzzi” should be around our body temperature 37˚ Celsius or 98.5˚ Fahrenheit. This habit has it owns benefit, such as cleaning the foreskin, glans and also keep the glans warm which also avoid or reduce temperature shock to the prostate. I would say that, this is one of Japanese longevity secrets whether they realize it or not.

Enlarge Prostate problem and longevity issue
Enlarge Prostate (BPH) problem can be a longevity issue because it disturbs a man’s night sleeping activity, and sleeping problem is the root of body metabolism and immune systems.

How to reduce Enlarged Prostate (BPH) risk:
To reduce enlarged prostate risk, we need to reduce temperature shock to the glans, such as:

  • take a rest a few hours or go to sleep after having sex (or masturbation) activity to relax your prostate, nerve, blood vessel before washing the foreskin or glans with warm water,
  • wash the foreskin or glans with warm water (body temperature) especially after ejaculation (having sex / masturbation) while in hurry,
  • take a bath with warm water (at body temperature) is recommended for old age men (incl. women),
  • start your own warm water “Jacuzzi” (at body temperature) once in a while in your bathtub or any available place for a few minutes.
Old mother advice “Don’t take a bath late at night (unless with warm water)” is a valuable advice because there is a longevity issue there.
