Doctors orders, is it wrong?

[joStix91]

I have been having a lot of discomfort when I sit down, enough to were I cant concentrate. I have lung issues and I work on the computer so I have to sit down. I went to the doctor and they did a CT scan and the Dr had some big old long explanation about what was wrong, but to simplify things it has to do with an inflamed prostrate and blockage of some tubes down there. He said there is no medicine other that the meds he gave me 2 weeks prior that haven't seemed to help at all.

Now here's were my problem is, he said I need to touch 2 to 3 times a week in-order to clear the tubes and help the inflammation go away.

I'm wondering what the right course of action would be here. I need the discomfort to go away so I can concentrate and get my work done, and God tells us to take care of our bodies and if this is the solution to the problem do it right.

But on the other hand the Bible doesn't specifically say masturbation is wrong but usually it goes hand in hand with lust and fornication and those are obviously wrong.

I'm just at a loss as to what would be the right thing to do right now.

PS: I see someone tagged this post as me trolling, I'm not and this is a legit concern I have.

PSS: The doctor said I have a form of Prostadynia, From what I understood when he showed me the CT scan my actual prostate is not inflamed but the area around it and my seminal vesicle is. He said I don't have Bacterial Prostatitis.

You should do what the doctor told you, imo. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that my sons or husband did the same thing if the doctor told them it would ease their pain and discomfort.

This is a good question, I like it.

Is it Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia? Have you had a Prostate-Specific Antigen test done? It could be a sign of cancer. Usually- when one has BPH- it could be an indicator for prostate cancer. If your doctor's orders were a temporary stop-gap to see if the swelling goes down- then do what you've been told. If the medication isn't working then you don't have any other options rather than surgery.

ETA: I think this is a legit concern.

He said it was most likely some form of Prostadynia, and if it didn't go away before my next appointment they ordered a PSA and he will order other tests.

It's likely quibbling over terminology- but it's generally referred to as prostrate massage rather than masturbation in this context. It is supposed to help- and it is real advice a doctor would give to temporarily help alleviate some of your symptoms. You're likely in enough pain that your general concerns over the issue are baseless anyway. In other words- it isn't a sin here. Take the doctor's advice- but pray if you have a guilt complex over it.

It's good to know that the doctor will be putting you through other tests- and I sincerely hope it isn't anything serious. I'll certainly pray for you.

Thank you, you can never have enough prayers

You need to balance your spiritual, mental, and physical needs. Right now, your body is in need, so your spirit and mind may need to be put on the back-burner. I see it as nothing more than shifting your weight when you're out of balance. Keeping you in my prayers!

If it helped I would say it is no sin but sometimes masturbation does not work
I sometimes have doubt that all masturbation is lust I think it is only lust when you desire to cheat on someone and try to imagine what it would be like to plan it by evil thoughts
It is still a sin but it is not adultery
Sin sometimes promises to relieve pain but makes it worse
"Fear the LORD and depart from evil it will be health to your flesh"
It is not adultery that deserves anyone's disapproval but it falls under the category of pleasures of the world that do not bring fruit to maturity
We are not to love our life in this world which drains us of spiritual energy to serve others or worship God
I think in your case it is no sin unless you sense the doctor does not know what he is saying so you can see other doctors opinions
Could there be another way to treat the pain ?
Sorry if I have no right to choose this post above all posts to reply to I am not qualified and too young and btw i would probably touch myself if I felt no other way to relieve pain but I normally find perhaps I could have endured without masturbating a little longer and gained a blessing
If you have felt a spiritual conviction to Christ in some church you should follow it and maybe see a holy man who can pray for you it might make you a stronger Christian and God directs you where you need to be
Perhaps masturbation is sometimes wrong because sinners might be proud you love them more than God and do not trust in God and accuse you of encouraging their sins

There are fruits and vegetables that deal with prostate health if you Google: fruits and vegetables for prostate health. I tend to experiment by making my own decisions on which foods are suitable for prostate health.: Unfortunately, my food diet is in total secrecy as the only person who knows this secret is my inner-body spiritual partner Jesus Christ.:
For a simple reason, the commandment: Thou shalt not worship other gods or idols before me. Understand that there is spirit of fascination with idols, not just religious idols but also human idols such as movie stars and music artists.:
So that's why my being anonymous here is necessary to avoid breaking your faith away from Jesus Christ who knows our true gifted intelligent and talented selves from our future-coming new minds and bodies of Christ, once he has returned sometime in the future to transform us after defeating Satan the God-jealous deceiver and violent society creator .;'*';.

Do it as the doctor said, see if it helps.

I have similar pains, and can't sit for very long, I am taking Elmiron, Doc didn't say anything about masterbating, but I am also on a diet.
I never had a CT scan =/

P.S. whoever flagged this as trolling is a serious mook. He is obviously having problems, and needs help ( both the original poster, and whoever flagged it)

I pray you will get better, please tell us how it goes, and if you get better

P.S.S. The bible says if your sperm falls on the ground you will be ''dirty for a day'' but I think it's a small price, to get cleaned out, I don't know what it says about medical touching yourself.

 

[joStix91]

Thanks for the prayers @follower3.

Doctor didn't say anything about diet to me, but i'll ask him if it will help in my case. But I guess eating better would help in any case haha

 

[Follower3]

well the point is to eliminate / limit foods that cause flare ups, ie inflammatory foods / acidic foods. But maybe it's just my case, yours may be different. Ask him and see what he says.

Lust is when you look at a woman/man with thoughts of sexual nature. And I've googled about it before all I've found so far was not to look at a woman with lustful thoughts/intentions.

Doctors rarely ever mention diet, they are part of a huge business that makes billions for "Big Pharma". Can't have some sensible dietary advice getting in the way of the $$$$ now, can we!

BTW some people work on the computer standing up. There are treadmills designed for slow walking while typing, inflatable balls to half-sit on (which are also used in elementary classrooms), and other solutions that would put you in a less static position.

yeah, i have my keyboard up on an oatmeal can to elevate it, and I use my mouse on my leg. I don't think much of it anymore, just seems natural XD
( but with a laser mouse it only works on certain kinds of pants)

doctors have to look at things primarily in the natural; if for no other reason to comply with malpractice insurance. but as a Christian you have access to spiritual power to receive healing from God. healing is like salvation in that it is based on faith that is rooted in God's word; in order to receive salvation you must hear God's word about salvation, and in order to receive healing you must hear God's word about healing. this should help:
