Prostate trouble
Question
Hi. For a few years I have a prostate infection which I find very difficult to heal (bad karma probably :(
For a while after micturition I was feeling some prostatic juice coming out (at first I didn't knew what it is... I just felt it is thicker than "normal" urine)... back then I thought it was because of brahmacharya and I went to the doctor late when I started to have some pains.
I took some medication for a while but I have never recovered completely.
Now sometimes in the morning I find semen in my urine :( (Every morning I urinate in a transparent plastic bottle to se if the urine is clean) I think my prostate is in tatters :( and because of the erection during the night the semen goes into the bladder. I seldom have nocturnal pollutions but finding semen in urine is practically the same thing as a pollution to me. To lose a little means to lose everything.
I practice badrasana ( I read it is good for the prostate) for 1/2 hours daily and I drink Xanthium spinosum tea (I don't know the english word.
Thank you.
Answer
1. Semen in Urine:
Semen in urine is generally associated with the disorder Congestive Prostatitis. This is further to the prostate gland being subjected to congestion due to a considerable period of erection and non-ejaculation, heavy vibration (such as hard riding on a motorcycle/ horse etc.) This could be onetime, periodic or chronic. Since you state this has been there for some time, it is important that you immediately consult a competent Urologist and get the problem solved.
2. Brahmacharya/ Prostate/ Night erections:
Now coming to the topic of Brahmacharya, those who are/ have followed a path of abstinence for a long time at the physical level only, abhorring sex/ masturbation but with their thoughts and emotions constantly seeking/ being stimulated at the sex plane cause a contrary reaction within their system. It is very important to aim at Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed. Mere physical repression can result in various disorders at the mental and physical levels. The sex force is a mammoth power. It can either be let free or if dammed by the concept of Brahmacharya, has to be properly transmuted into a creative/ productive work force.
Erections during the course of sleep at night are perfectly normal and healthy, even for a Brahmachari. This has got nothing to do with sexual arousal. This always happens during REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement sleep). They occur on average every 90 minutes or so and typically last around 25 minutes, about the length of an episode of REM sleep. They have little to do with sex or erotic dreams, or with anything you may have been doing during the day.
Expulsion of semen in sleep is another matter. It is generally a product of unfulfilled sexual desires in the waking state. Also possible is that your prostate might have got infected to the point of malfunction resulting in sporadic production of the prostatic fluid.
Diseases/ abnormalities a sign of negative karma, due to misdeeds. Mans ascension in the path of Brahmacharya is his journey back to purity and divinity. Negative karma stored in his karmic account has to get worked out if he is to ascend higher. Some of these karmas are so strong that there is no way out but to go through suffering and thereby cleanse them. In any case, I would request you to concentrate on competent medical treatment first till you solve the problem
