Masturbating or having sex may help men suffering from hay fever clear those bunged noses, say scientists
Although no clinical trials have been performed to test Zarrintan’su00a0hypothesis, he believes that it may have many benefits overu00a0decongestant drugs if proved to work.
He highlights the fact that decongestant have been known to contributeu00a0to hypertension.
"Furthermore, if used for more than two or three days, they canu00a0actually make congestion worse," New Scientist magazine quoted him asu00a0saying.
He recommends masturbating or having sex whenever the symptoms are badu00a0enough to warrant another ejaculation.
"It can be done (from) time-to-time to alleviate the congestion andu00a0the patient can adjust the number of intercourses or masturbationsu00a0depending on the severity of the symptoms," he said.
A research article on Zarrintan’s suggestion has been published in theu00a0journal Medical Hypotheses.
