Prostate Cancer

Women do not classically get prostate cancer as cancer of the prostate is classified as a disease of the prostate gland of the male reproductive system.

However, in 2002 the female Skene's Gland was officially renamed the female prostate as it was found to be homologous in function. Both male and female prostates produce Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and contribute to the ejaculate fluid.

Six cases of adenocarcinoma have been observed as originated from the female prostate that strongly resemble that of classical male prostate cancer. Serum tests showed elevated levels of PSA, typical in prostate cancer.

The answer to your question, depends if the doctor removes your prostate.

If your prostate is removed, you will not be able to impregnate a woman through sexual intercourse, as the prostate mixes with semen to coat and nourish sperm. You can still get pregnant via IVF or have your sperm implanted in the uterus.

If the prostate is not removed, it is possible normal function can be restored in any where from 3 months to 1 year.

The prostate gland is about the size of a walnut. As we grow older (at about 40), it enlarges a bit. This condition is called Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The term for removal of all or part of the prostate through the urethra is a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or transurethral prostatectomy.

Many prostatitis patients may find that the antibiotic is not effective enough even though they have taken it for a very long time, but after they replace it with antiviral drugs, their condition improved a lot and the symptoms disappeared very quickly. This shows that some kind of virus may be the chief culprit of Prostatitis. The result of clinical practices is exactly identical with that. According to some experts, herpes, usually divided into two sorts, HSV-1and HSV-2, can cause Prostatitis, and those who have already been caught by herpes progenitalis are very easy to be captured by it.

prostatitis can be cured thorough by TCM therapy. We all know that almost all of the ingredients of Chinese medicine come from natural resources, which have little side effects. diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill is a TCM theraphy. The herbal medicine can get into the inflammatory part directly and enhance the curative effect.

Radioisotpes are used to treat the thyroid, especially for those who have hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease. Radioiodine is swallowed by a patient and then it is absorbed by the thyroid. The radioiodine eventually kills thyroid cells. This helps patients with an overactive thyroid by slowing down the production of thyroid hormones.

They have found skeletons from Paleolithic Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens fossils that prove they did brain surgery, (drilled holes in the skull), either to let out blood, remove tumors, or possibly evil spirits. The patients survived. Sometimes they even kept the chip of their skull on a necklace.

It all depends on the patient. But I am up to 2 a year! :(((

Life expectancy and the need for treatment after a diagnosis of prostate cancer will depend on whether the cancer has left the prostate gland, the Gleason score of the biopsy, the number of cores that are positive and the percentage of tumor cells in each positive core.

Although prostrate cancer is often a more slowly progressing cancer when compared to other cancers, it is still lethal. Second only to lung cancer, it is the largest cancer killer of men with Twenty seven thousand (27,000) dieing this year alone from prostate cancer.

You can produce semen without a prostate gland, but its contents will be slightly different.

Semen contains fluids from the testicles, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands). Only about 25-30% of the volume of semen comes from the prostate.

Probably not. From what I hear about the U.S. medical system, you all need private insurance to get health coverage.

The prostate is roughly the size of a walnut and weighs about 10-15 grams.

Uncontrolled cell growth and division is characteristic of all cancers. This leads to the formation of tumors and the ability of cancer cells to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Additionally, cancers typically arise from genetic mutations that disrupt normal cell functions.

The size of the prostate depends somewhat on age, but in general the prostate for an adult should be about the size of a walnut.

Spongy and boggy are synonymous and it means you

My husband has just had prostate cancer surgery. I am passing along what I learned before his surgery took place. Cryo surgery is a procedure by which the prostate is removed by freezing it. It may or may not be recommended for different stages of prostate cancer. Good luck.

"Some treatment options for someone diagnosed with prostate cancer is to undergo radiation and chemotherapy. Depending at which stage of cancer you are in, this may be your best option."

It is because the FDA has not tested and/or approved of this treatment which could be considered a cure, that would create massive unemployment, and lose of revenue for the big drug companies.

Cancer is not an incurable disease. It is a business.
