Promiscuity, gonorrhea are risks for prostate cancer in men: A study
Here’s another study which any promiscuous man should read, and every pastor should share with those in their congregation both old and young
***Flee fornication.*** Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor 6:18
Promiscuity, gonorrhea are risks for prostate cancer in men: A study
According to the University of Michigan Health System’s (UMHS) new research, men who have had gonorrhea are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Multiple sexual partners, and history of gonorrhea are seen as risks for prostate cancer.
Having more than 25 lifetime sexual partners also increases odds of prostate cancer, by more than 2.5 times that of men with five or fewer sexual partners, the study found.
The conclusions are part of the Flint Men's Health Study, a population-based study of black men ages 40-79 who live in Flint, Michigan The Flint Men's Health Study looked at African-American men as part of an effort to determine why black men are twice as likely as white men to develop prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from the disease.
Researchers asked 703 black men without prostate cancer and 129 black men with prostate cancer about their number of sexual partners, age at first intercourse, frequency of sexual activity and history of sexually transmitted diseases (STD's).
“Our results suggest gonorrhea may play a role in the development of prostate cancer in African-American men. Although we are unable to show that gonorrhea directly causes prostate cancer, we suspect the inflammatory effect of the gonorrhea infection may trigger pre-existing cancerous cells to multiply,” says lead study author Aruna Sarma, Ph.D., assistant research scientist in the Department of Urology at U-M Medical School.
In the study, 65 percent of the men with prostate cancer reported having had gonorrhea, compared to 53 percent of men without prostate cancer. Men with prostate cancer were also more likely to report being diagnosed more than once with gonorrhea, a bacterial infection transmitted through sexual intercourse.
The overall rate of gonorrhea is now increasing, after a steady decline for the past two decades, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported notifiable disease in the United States. The CDC estimates that approximately 700,000 new gonorrheal infections occur yearly in the U.S., only about half of which are reported to the CDC. More than 5% of people between the ages of 18 and 35 have an infection with gonorrhea that they do not know about. New strains are more easily spread and are resisting treatment even with strong antibiotics.
Other researchers have proposed a possible link between sexually transmitted diseases and prostate cancer. Previous studies have found a decreased risk of prostate cancer among men who use condoms and some evidence linking prostate cancer and various STD or better known now as sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).
If condom is used properly, a condom may also protect users from infecting a sex partner with STD. Also, although no form of birth control is100% effective, the condom can be quite effective if it is put on correctly.
In addition, the human papillomavirus, another common sexually transmitted disease, has been shown to cause cervical cancer in women. Scientists believe the cervical cancer develops in reaction to the inflammation caused by the HPV infection, a similar theory to why gonorrhea may play a role in prostate cancer.
Further studies are needed to determine whether gonorrhea or other STDs actually cause prostate cancer, the researchers say.
After reading what the UMHS research found out, you might consider thinking twice living a promiscuous life if you still want to hold on to your dear life
