Dr. Odezi Otobo, a consultant urologist, claims that there is no urological or medical proof that a man’s risk of prostate cancer is decreased by frequent ejaculation and lovemaking.

Speaking at a medical outreach for males hosted by the Asi Ukpo Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calabar on Monday, Otobo, who is employed with the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), made this statement.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the outreach, which took place on the grounds of the Christian Central Chapel International (CCCI), Calabar, is a component of the events marking “Movember.”

An annual event in November, Movember involves growing moustaches to promote awareness of men’s health issues, including testicular and prostate cancer, as well as men’s mental health.

In response to social media suggestions that repeated sexual contact and having several girlfriends helped prevent prostate cancer, the urologist stated that the condition was either environmental, lifestyle, or genetic.

Since early identification is essential to successful cancer treatment, it is crucial for people in their forties and fifties to get screened and attend a hospital if they see something, rather than relying on unprofessional and unscientific advice from various sources.

According to him, prostate cancer is an indolent cancer that can be treated if a man is informed, goes to a hospital, and modifies his lifestyle rather than having several “side chicks.”

According to Mr. Yegwa Ukpo, Executive Director of the Asi Ukpo Comprehensive Cancer Centre, men’s health issues were rarely addressed in society, therefore they felt compelled to observe Movember.

Speaking on behalf of the center’s Event and Outreach Manager, Mrs. Mercy Njoku, Ukpo claimed that males felt compelled to keep their problems to themselves because of societal norms around masculinity.

Since there are more and more instances of men in their forties and fifties sagging and passing away, I want to urge the guys to take their health seriously. We don’t want this to Move Forward.

Additionally, he stated, “many men drink severely; others work nonstop to make ends meet without checking their hearts, livers, kidneys, or even their mental health; this is why we are insisting on this outreach, which will be annual.”

In a same vein, Dr. Saviour Eze, Head of Medical Team at CCCI, stated that they chose to collaborate with ASI Ukpo since the outreach particularly called for men to receive care, which was highly uncommon in those times.

According to Eze, despite their prayers for God’s healing, the church acknowledged that people God had assigned to the medical field should treat bodily illnesses.

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Rotary Club, Pink Africa, and others collaborated on the outreach, which involved screening males for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), liver, kidney, and heart health. (Na)
