Prostate Cancer

you can get it by either from family, stokes or hitting your head hard

To answer your question, How can you gain an erection after prostate removal, the first question I would ask is were the nerves on the sides of the prostate gland cut, damaged or left in tact?

If the nerves on both sides were cut, western medicine says it is unlikely that sexual function will be restored. If the nerve on one side was cut or damaged, then sexual function can be restored.

A patient can engage is sex within 4 weeks of prostate removal surgery. Full ability to have an erection is restored within 9-12 months.

Don't count on retaining normal sexual function after a prostatectomy. Depending on one's age, the nerves that are attached to the prostate gland may be too fragile to remain intact and functional following surgery. The older the man, the higher the risk of irreparable damage. Some urologists claim that the risk of impotence is about 5% (a low number sometimes quoted to encourage the cancer patient to proceed); but actually, it's probably closer to 50%.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an enlarged prostate gland and it leads to a weaker flow of urine.

Consuming alcoholic beverages (beer, liquor and wine) in moderation is associated with a lower risk of developing the condition.

A meta-analysis of 19 published studies, including over 120,000 men, was conducted.

The investigators found that drinking two or more standard drinks of alcohol was associated with a 35% reduction in decreased likelihood of benign prostate enlargement.

A standard drink is:

• A 12-ounce can or bottle of regular beer

• A 5-ounce glass of dinner wine

• A shot (one and one-half ounces) of 80 proof liquor or spirits such as vodka, tequila, or rum either straight or in a mixed drink.

If it is detected and treated early enough it can be cured, if left untreated it can be fatal.

There are two tests. One, the doctor uses his finger to determine the size of your prostate. If it's enlarged he/she will be able to provide the appropriate treatment but it may just be normal enlarging due to age. Even though it may be normal enlargment and not cancer, it should be treated. The other test is a simple blood test in which the lab looks at the level of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in the blood. If the PSA level goes up it's a very strong indication of prostate cancer. Ahem...Go to the Dr.!

It is possible. In a small number of cases, terminal cancer has been known to go into remission. I have met one such survivor of breast cancer who was told she had only months to live. She began doing every thing she could possibly find to fight the cancer, including but not limited to medical experimental drugs and treatments, and also some unorthodox eastern medicine treatments such as acupuncture. She also began to alkaline (make acidic) her body, using citric acid from lemons and other fruits. She had a positive outlook and believed she could defeat it, and did. This was ten years ago, and to date there is no trace of cancer left in her body.

One side effect of prostate cancer in many men is frequent urination. That is the frequent urge to urinate, even though only a very small amount of urine is passed.

It can happen. There is a condotion known as BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia) that can narrow the urethra and restrict urine flow. This can also occur with prostate cancer.

A doctor who treats the prostate is a urologist.

An enlarged prostate is common among men middle-aged and older. There are supplements, such as saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, and lycopene, that can help with urinary problems associated with enlarged prostate. Many men's formula vitamins contain some, or all of these. You should ask your doctor before any taking any supplement to treat enlarged prostate.

Your doctor can prescribe medications for enlarged prostate as necessary. Some of the more common prescription names are Flomax, Avodart, and Proscar.

Well-formulated prostate supplements have had successful reports, especially the ones that contain beta sitosterol. This nutrient, derived from plants, has been studied extensively and is known to support anti-aging of the prostate. It also supports healthy urinary flow and functions. I think that more doctors should start prescribing nutritional supplements for prostate health as men reach their 40s and 50s. This is much better than taking conventional medication for prostate support which has side effects in the long run. There is much information on the Internet you can find on beta sitosterol.

The prostate gland is a small, walnut-sized organ located just below the bladder in males. It produces a fluid that helps to nourish and protect sperm cells. Prostate fluid also helps to transport sperm during eja-cula-tion and plays a role in maintaining sexual health. Its location and functions are important for understanding male reproductive health, as it can be affected by various medical conditions.

I am so sorry to hear that this happened to your family - I can say that the chances are great that he will survive if they extinguish the original tumor as well as the metastasized cancer that spread to his bones. They can actually treat prostate cancer by a number of procedures - including organ transplant. Your family should ask the surgeon what procedures would be the most effective in extinguishing the cancer. And bone marrow transplants can also cure the bone cancer. Osteosarcomas and osteomyelomas are actually easily cured...so ask your surgeon if they can do a bone marrow transplant as well as a prostectomy and replacement prostate surgery - so that your dad can get a new prostrate. They should also be able to kill off all of the cancer sites w/ radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Be sure to ask your doctor about getting a prostate replacement and about bone marrow transplant surgery - this is one of the most effective ways of curing the cancer. I know what you're going through, and I know how that feels, because my uncle had prostate cancer himelf, but it was cured through radiation therapy. so the chances are very good that if they get the cancer in the early stages, it can be cured. in the meantime, i will pray for your dad's recovery and your family's health, and if you ever need to contact me, my email address is siderius_andromedae@yahoo.com I am sorry to hear this you must be very distressed. Secondary cancers mean that bits of the prostate cancer have broken away and lodged in other areas of the body. Your father's doctor is the only person who can answer your question properly (based on your father individual condition) and he may have told your father if you father asked.

Research studies have consistently demonstrated an association between a reduced risk of cancer and an increase of vegetables and fruits in a person's diet. There are more than 100 different kinds of cancer.

The doctor can feel many abnormalities in the prostate with his finger. He can tell if the gland is enlarged or not, and this test may lead to more tests such as a PSA blood test, or even a biopsy.

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small, walnut-sized gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. The prostate gland plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system, as it produces some of the fluid that combines with sperm to create semen.

Prostate cancer occurs when cells within the prostate gland begin to grow uncontrollably. Over time, these cancerous cells can form a tumor and potentially spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, particularly in older age, and it can vary widely in terms of its aggressiveness and potential to spread.

It's important to note that not all prostate cancers are the same. Some prostate cancers are slow-growing and may not cause significant health problems, while others are more aggressive and can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early. Due to this variation in aggressiveness, prostate cancer management often involves careful monitoring, evaluation of the cancer's characteristics, and personalized treatment decisions.

Regular screening for prostate cancer, typically through a blood test called the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and a digital rectal examination (DRE), is essential for early detection. Early-stage prostate cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms, making screening even more crucial.

Treatment options for prostate cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches, depending on the stage of cancer, the aggressiveness of the tumor, and the patient's overall health.

As with any cancer, early detection and timely intervention are key factors in improving outcomes for individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer. Therefore, it's essential for men, particularly those at higher risk due to factors like age, family history, or ethnicity, to discuss prostate cancer screening and risk factors with their healthcare providers.

Blood tests are used to measure the amounts of certain protein markers, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), found circulating in the blood.

Yes. No ejaculation, but a perfectly good orgasm.

Juan Williams had a devastating cancer of his left nipple. Due to it being contagious it spread to his right nipple. However, Juan Williams had an amazing smile, so he decided to look in the mirror and smiled. This caused his nipple cancer to vanish, thus curing himself of cancer.

Prostatism refers to urinary tract symptoms in men. It is not necessarily cancerous. It can be a benign swelling of the prostate that may cause discomfort and even slowed or blocked urine flow. This normally affects older men.

It can take up to one year after prostate surgery to know if you will be able to achieve an erection.

Also, if the nerves that run along the sides of the prostate gland, which control erection, were damaged or cut, this could effect the ability to achieve an erection.

See your doctor for a follow-up exam to see if the nerves were in fact cut or damaged, or if your recovery is still taking place and it may take a bit longer for normal sexual function to be restored.

I would recommend also consulting with a doctor who specializes in prostate surgery and rehabilitation to regain sexual function.

If you are having difficulty achieving an erection, a specialist may have tools and therapies available to help restore this function for you.

It can be successfully treated if caught early enough.

There is no stage 5 in cancer, there are only stages 1 thru 4.

Stage 4 (orIV) cancers have metastasized. Which means that they have spread to other organs or throughout the body.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, a reading of 4.5 or less is normal.
