ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Prostatic congestion

Okay kiddo, let me explain what prostatic congestion means.

Did you know that dads, grandpas, and uncles have a little gland called the prostate in their body? This gland is located around where they pee, and it helps make some of the liquid that comes out with their pee.

Now, sometimes when grown-ups don't have sex or masturbate for a long time, that gland can become full of liquid and blood. It's like having too many toys in your toy box and the box is full. This is called prostatic congestion.

When this happens, the grown-up might feel a little discomfort and pain down there. It's like when you have a tummy ache or headache – it hurts, right?

But don't worry, the good news is that the grown-up can fix this by having some alone time or spending time with their partner. This will help release the liquid and the gland won't be congested anymore.

So, that's what prostatic congestion means, buddy. It's an uncomfortable feeling in the gland that can happen when grown-ups don't have sex or masturbate for a while, but it can be fixed by releasing the liquid through sexual activity.
