Prostate cancer itself does not cause infertility, but rather the removal of the prostate gland can effect a male's ability to father a child naturally. He can still father a child via Invitro Fertilization.

Medical research has shown that Infertility can increase the chances of developing prostate cancer.

The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age, and though highly unlikely, it is theoretically possible for a teenager to develop prostate cancer.

It is basically unheard of for a person under 35 to develop prostate cancer with under 0.1% of prostate cancer diagnoses. For the age group 35-44, the incidence of prostate cancer is about 9 per 1,000,000 men. The average age at diagnosis is 67.

There are different types of chemotherapy treatments that exist. One uses antimetabolites to replace DNA building blocks, while another called corticosteroids to slow down the growth of cancer cells.

A man should start to get is prostate examined every year starting at the age of 40-45, if he is showing no symptoms of prostate cancer or prostate hypertrophy, such as urinary dribbling, urinary urgency, waking up in the middle of the night to pee, having difficulty starting or stopping his stream, or urinary retention. If he has any of these symptoms he should start to get his prostate examined earlier.

PSA levels are measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Anything in the 4 to 10 ng/mL is considered normal although a man can still develop the cancer but his risk is much smaller than if he had a higher number,

If the prostate gland is removed, the male will no longer be able to conceive a child naturally. Conception can occur with IVF, where the sperm is removed from the man's testicles and implanted in the woman's uterus.

Beta sitosterol is found in plants like soy beans, pygeum and is one of the most effective herbs for supporting prostate health, urinary flow and functions. Many doctors have started recommending beta sitosterol to their patients and the results have been very favorable. It is useful for those suffering from poor prostate health and it can also be used as a good proactive measure to help allay common complaints associated with age and prostate health. Look for quality prostate supplements that contain 300 mg of pure beta sitosterol along with other minerals that play a role in supporting prostate health.

PSA levels that are considered normal for men are in the range of four to nine nanograms per millimeter in blood. Anything over these numbers indicates a possibility of prostate cancer.

Cancer has no redeeming qualities and innumerable problematic aspects of cancer, such as the personal suffering of a person afflicted with cancer or the loss of functioning or the trauma to other family members, etc. In layman's terms, cancer is bad.

The biologic marker that is elevated is called the PSA (prostatic specific antigen), but this is not a hormone. However, in prostate cancer, it is desirable to lower the levels of a hormone group called androgens (including testosterone, among others).

Part of any patient assessment is asking the patient direct questions. So you'd inquire about pain on urination. If present while the man is urinating, or immediately after urination, you can observe for usual signs of pain, such as facial grimacing, verbal indications such as holding back a moan or cry, etc. You should also watch for avoidance, meaning, if a man tries to hold his urine as long as possible to avoid discomfort.

The man's ability to produce sperm should be unaffected by the removal of his prostate, since the sperm is made in the testicles. Having said this, the prostate does make some of the fluid in the ejaculate (about 25-35%). So a man who has had his prostate removed may notice a decrease in the amount he ejaculates.

Also, depending on the way the prostate is removed, the nerves that feed the penis may be damaged, and though he makes sperm, may find it difficult to have an ejaculation, or even become aroused.

If you have prostate cancer you need to see a doctor immediately.
