possible that marijuana bloats the prostate?

Question by Conejo Bogs boni: possible that marijuana bloats the prostate?
smoking marijuana is good or bad for your prostate? I read on the web that is very helpful to defeat or prevent prostate cancer.
But lately I feel that when smoke is causing a bloated feeling that I would describe it as a very strong nuisance more than pain.
It ‘s a feeling that happens to me recently when I drink alcohl.
Inform you that i smoke cannabis for about 10 years.
Thanks x the answers.

The answer is yes I’m afraid. I’ll tell you why

Marijuana abuse raises the level of the inflammatory hormone prostaglandin E-2 in the body which can induce inflammation in brain arteries, constricting blood flow to the brain. These narrowed arteries require high blood pressure to pump blood up to your brain. Prostaglandin E2 can also loosen the brain-blood barrier and then increase the drug’s penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid. All of this can result in hypertension, headaches, migraines, blurred version, gum inflammation, sleeping disorder, and ear ringing, in addition to brain disorders, body or joint pains and inflammation, liver and kidney inflammation, and disorders of the prostate, uterus, cervix, bladder, and urethra. Marijuana use can also cause brain hemorrhage, enlargement of brain cavities, and brain tissue death.

Railton Hirst’s answer sounds medically accurate, but it isn’t. For one thing, prostaglandin E2 doesn’t constrict blood vessels; it relaxes them.

Railton? Do you really think the most accurate source for medical information is a web site named www.herballove.com?
