Possible urinary tract infection or prostate problem.

There is quite a bit of evidence that it is VERY good for your mental and physical health. The incidence of prostate cancer is apparently considerably less on guys that masturbated frequently, especially in their younger years. No doubt that it's normal, healthy and fun...so go for it and enjoy!

Well prostate cancer hits 8 out of 10 men in a life time. Prostate cancer is usually a slow growing cancer unless the Gleason score is high. This score measures how fast the prostate cancer will grow. You did not state if your dad colon cancer is in remission or still active. I do not understand why they will not do surgery on your dad unless he is older than 65 and the Gleason score is low. Radiation therapy daily for 6-8 weeks usually kills or really slows down the cancer but then again it all depends on how advanced the colon cancer is. Radiation sometimes affects the colon area. Cryotherapy can work and studies do show it will slow down the prostate cancer. Have your father ask for a second opinion. And if you can follow up with some more information about your dad. This way you can get more information on his cancer. Also you can go to prostate cancer in the Internet and look up all the different treatments for prostate cancer. Good luck to you. My dad had his prostate removed and is cancer free 2 years later and counting. So I know what you are going threw right now...

I believe that the problem with the meducal industry us that they traet symptoms, and not cause.\nI also believe that cancer is a whole body thing, and should be treated as such.\nSo, cleaning out the rest of the body will help solve the problems with the prostate.\n\nIf I was you, I would go through complete cleansing procedures for liver, kidney, gall bladder, and colon.\nThis the gives the body the strength to fight back and heal itself.\n\nIf you go to my web page at\n\nCancer\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html\n\nyou will find information on cancer in general. \nI hope it helps. http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=544

No, in fact, increased ejaculation (through masturbating or sex) decreases the risk of prostate cancer.  Read about it here: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4861

At 50, 5 years ago, I got prostate cancer. I had been involved with many doctors on a large website project so I had access to 12 different urologists and all the information available on the Internet. In the end, after considering radiation and seed implants I finally opted for surgery. I am glad I did, although, had I waited another 4 weeks my doctor would have been doing the new laprascopic method, which is much easier on the patient. My doctor here in Orange County swears he'll never go back to the old style radical prostectomy (sp?) where they slit you up the middle.\n\nEach individual has to make their own choice however. There are problems with radiation that you never hear about, like rectal problems or radiation seeds that make their way to other parts of the body and cause severe damage. \n\nGet educated above all. I have included a favorite site below.

Not true. And even if you got prostate cancer, it's usually treated very easily. sometimes they don't bother to treat it at all in older men because it progresses so slowly.

I would definately check with your doctor. Testicular cancer is common among men ages 17-35. Better safe than sorry. Treatment is usually very succesful (85-90%) if it is cancer and caught early.

The prostate, like the breast and ovaries, is sensitive to hormonal regulation.  While a prior respondant was probably correct in indicating that all cells get cancer with similar regularity, the answer is also misleading in that "cancer" the disease is different from "cancer" the microscopically proliferating cell-group.  \n\nYour body has quite a few methods for dealing with cancers.  Intestines, for example, do divide often - and concequentially mutate frequently - but they also constantly being sloughed off by the body.  The prostate, on the other hand, divides more slowly, but is subject to increased growth and division based on the influence of outside hormones.  If your hormones get out of wack, or if the hormone receptors on your sensitive tissues mutate, then you're a likely subject of cancer the disease.

I don't have prostate cancer but I know that Lupron is commonly given to men with prostate cancer to reduce testosterone levels and therefore tumor growth.\n\nhttp://www.lupron.com/prostate/\n\ngood luck

I am assuming you had a Radical Prostatectomy for prostate cancer.  A rise in PSA after this operation can be due to a few things.  Cancer recurrence is the typical worry.  An elevation in PSA greatly preceeds symptoms though.  Depending on the rate on increase, your age, the specifics of your cancer's pathology (Gleason score, TNM stage at surgery) - the prognosis and course possiblities vary quite a lot.\n\nDepending on these specifics, your doctor ought to have a plan in mind as to follow up, other testing etc.  To get a plan in action, talk with your doctor - it s the only way you can get a specific answer.\n\nRecurrent prostate cancer in post radical prostatectomy patient's can have symptoms locally (at the prostate bed) that may interfere with urination, or distant issues - most commonly disease in the bones.  Again - elevations in PSA preceed symptoms and definable disease by years most of the time.

Chemo is dreadful and the hardest thing is watching someone go through it. Within the last 10 years chemo treatment may have improved but I don't know. If your husband wants to smoke a lot of pot, then let him. It is brutal.

Depends, did the dr say that, or have u just heard it from different people? The dr would be the most qualified to tell u if chondritin interacts with any cancer treatment meds.

Your potency will probably return gradually.  Impotence is a common side-effect of radiation and chemotherapy, but it's thankfully usually not permanent.  Tell your doctor and he'll advise you, but you can figure that you'll have a few months of sub-par performance.  \n\n(I had advanced lymphoma and was impotent for two months and sterile for about 4 months.  Had to use viagra for the first year in order to achieve penetration, but don't need it anymore.)
