Affect of sexual activity on BPH

I've looked in vain for anything that would answer the question 'does frequency of sex or masturbation have any effect on BPH?' It would seem logical that frequent sexual release would keep the prostate healthy and active, but I could see that there might be reasons why it would exacerbate the problem (AIUI prostate enlargement occurs in the muscle tissue of the prostate, and frequent use would exercise the muscle).

The only research I've seen that is slightly related was some that showed frequent sex might offer a slight protection against cancer.

    I think ejaculating helps you pee better for a hours after. Other than that I don't have an answer
