    The impact of long-term non-ejaculation on health after the age of 60 varies from person to person and needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on individual physiological status. Moderate ejaculation helps maintain prostate health but is not required.

    If older men are in good health and have no chronic diseases, moderate ejaculation will not cause health damage. Regular sex or moderate masturbation can promote local blood circulation and reduce prostate fluid accumulation. The decrease in ejaculation frequency at this stage is a normal physiological phenomenon and is related to the natural decrease in testosterone levels. Maintaining moderate sexual activity can help maintain pelvic floor muscle function, but there is no need to deliberately pursue high-frequency ejaculation.

    Older men with cardiovascular disease or severe prostate problems should use caution. Excessive ejaculation may induce arrhythmia or increase prostate congestion. Patients during the postoperative recovery period should follow the doctor's advice to control the frequency of sexual activities. Long-term total abstinence may cause prostate fluid to concentrate, but it will not directly cause serious disease. The key point is to adjust your living habits according to the physical examination indicators, and there is no need to worry too much about the frequency of ejaculation.

    It is recommended that men over the age of 60 have an annual prostate-specific antigen test and urinary tract examination. You can perform daily Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, and pay attention to supplementing your diet with zinc and lycopene. If you experience abnormal urination or perineal discomfort, you should seek medical treatment promptly and avoid making judgments or abusing aphrodisiac drugs on your own. Maintaining a regular schedule and moderate exercise are more important to maintaining a healthy reproductive system.
