99 Citations | Androgen stimulation of the prostate is likely to be important in the promotion of BPH or PCa. |
18 Citations | We propose that human BPH is an induced phenomenon that is usually initiated by local episodic exposure of periurethral prostate to mitogens secreted by the testis/epididymis. |
21 Citations | Findings suggest that patients with BPH with a prostate volume ≥25ml and a PSA of ≥1.5ng/ml may benefit from combination therapy. |
51 Citations | BPH and PCa can be linked together at a molecular and cellular level on genetic, hormonal, and inflammatory platforms suggesting that these prostatic diseases have common pathophysiological driving factors. |
11 Citations | The increased risk is probably due to enhanced diagnostics of prostate cancer in men with BPH. |

What are the effects of nipple stimulation on prolactin in males?5 answersNipple stimulation can have varying effects on prolactin levels in males. Research suggests that chronic nipple piercing alone does not lead to hyperprolactinemia in men. Additionally, neurogenic stimuli to the chest wall or breast, including prolonged suckling, can induce galactorrhea in men. Furthermore, acupoint massage therapy, which involves stimulating acupressure points around the breast, has been shown to increase prolactin levels in postpartum women, potentially aiding in lactation. Prolactin plays a crucial role in lactation by stimulating mammary glands to produce milk, and its levels can also impact sexual gratification and the refractory period after sexual acts. Therefore, nipple stimulation can have multifaceted effects on prolactin levels in males, influencing both lactation and sexual responses.
