Q: What's the symptom of prostate cancer ?
Do people who have prostate cancer have strong sexaul desire ?Do such people have sex life or have kids?

Q: is it possible to younger age to have a prostate cancer?
im 20 yrs old and im experiencing a burning sensation when i urinate. i think this is a symptom of a prostate cancer

A: It sounds more like a urinary tract infection to me. And it won't go away by itself. You have to get antibiotics from your doctor, and be sure to take them all, even though you feel better. If prostate cancer runs in your family, you might want to have it checked out. But 20 yrs old sounds very young. Most men don't start getting symptoms till well after 50. The main symptom is not being to empty your bladder, and having a very weak stream.

Q: Having a PSA=4.85 at the age of 45 with no symptom at all could mean prostate cancer...?
The doctor after the finger examination suggested to redo PS test because he did not find anything suspicious and patient is not having any irregularities urinating (need to urinate frequently, pain,holding back or interruptive flow of urine, dificultie having an erection, blood in urine or semen, stiffness in the lower back). Is it possible a human error from the lab like the blood of somebody else...?

Q: Hi does anyone know the first signs of prostate cancer?
I KNOW SOME ONE CLOSE TO ME WHO SAYS HE HAS A BALL LIKE GROWTH DIRECTLY UNDER HIS TESTICLES BUT HE'S SCARED TO GO TO THE HOSPITIAL FOR FEAR OF THE WORST. I ASKED HIM IF HE THINKS IT'S SOMETHING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED AN HE SAYS HE'S POSITIVE IT'S NOTHING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED. IF ANYONE KNOWS THE FIRST SIGNS OF PROSTATE CANCER OR THE SYMPTOMS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

A: Definately needs to go for a PSA test and then possibly a biopsy. Someone very dear to me was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer on both sides and he had no symptoms at all. They had been watching his PSA's for about a year and decided to do a biopsy. He still has no symptoms but opted for surgery because it is a silent killer.

Q: What are the causes of Prostate Cancer?
1)What are the causes of Prostate Cancer ? 2)What are the symptoms? 3)What effects are seen on the reproductive system? 4)How is the condition treated?

A: 1) The causes are a difficult one to answer. Like many cancers, the causes are not always totally clear. However, the prostate is part of the male reproduction system and in fact is a gland situated just in front of the bladder, surrounding the urethra, so hormones may play a part. 2) Symptoms include enlargement of the Prostate gland and along with this, difficulty in passing water. This is generally the first sign that anything is wrong. The man has problems going to the loo and emptying the bladder, so much so that he feels he has to pass urine often especially at night and yet when he gets to the loo, he has problems getting starting. 3) The prostate is part of the reproductive system in that it controls the release of a fluid, mixed with the semen, during ejaculation. The enlargement itself doesn't cause the problems it is the treatment that does. However, most men with prostate cancer are over 60 and so reproduction is not such a major issue. 4) Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and how it has progressed. i) Watchful waiting - to see how the situation pans out, the man is careful kept a check on until they feel treatment is needed. ii) Surgery - To completely remove the Prostate, done when the patient is younger and they wish to prolong life beyond 10 or so years. iii) Hormone treatment - Oestrogen is given to the man to throw the cancer into reverse. The prostate cancer 'feeds' on testosterone, remove this and it becomes dormant. Generally used when metastases are already present. This 'buys' the patient time. Some 10 years or more is used to good effect. The man becomes impotent.

Q: What are some symptoms in having prostate cancer?

Q: who can tell me something about prostate cancer?
i have a friend who has something wrong with his prostate ,the doctor told him that he might have prostate cancer , he needs to check further .what are symptoms of prostate cancer ?

A: The only true symptoms of prostate cancer are and elevated PSA test. An enlarged prostate itself if not always cancer. That could be benign prostatic hypertrophy aka an enlarged prostate. My dad has prostate cancer plus I am a nurse so if you have more questions just ask.

Q: My husband is 48 years old, has enlarged prostate, tested negative for cancer, but now has blood in urine?
My husband now has blood in urine now and then, no pain, but noticed it a while back. Should he be concerned? His doctor is aware of his enlarged prostate but was negative for prostate cancer. I read that the blood in urine is a symptom of enlarged prostate - so should we be alarmed? or should he go see a urologist at this point?

A: Blood in the urine can indicate a prostate problem or a bladder infection. The blood test for prostate cancer is by checking the PSA level. This is notoriously unreliable and can give both false positives and false negatives. At 48 your husband is statistically more susceptible to prostatic cancer, but it is by no means a certainty that he will get it. Any unexplained bleeding, or internal bleeding should always be reported to the doctor for investigation. The doctor may suggest either a cystoscopy - where a small camera is inserted through the penis into the bladder to check for infection - or else a prostate biopsy to get a more reliable check for cancer. If it is prostate cancer then the sooner it is diagnosed the sooner treatment can start and the better the chances of curing it.

Q: what are the symptoms of prostate cancer?


A: I had prostate cancer in 2005 and had an enlarged prostate for several years before 2005. The main symptoms were frequent urination, especially at night time and the other symptom I noticed was the prostate area would hurt or more like ache and get sore at times if I sat very much... especially driving on long trips or sitting at my desk lots. I have never heard of the burning sensation being a symptom that the other person mentioned..There is a website called Proton Bob that tells lots about prostate cancer. It also tells about the treatment I had for it Proton Radiation.. which I feel is the very best treatment available today.. It has a 90% cure rate and little to no side effects during or after treatment.. Its great..hope this helps.. let me know if you have any other questions about prostate cancer ...will be glad to share my experience with you.

A: There are no early reliable symptoms of prostate cancer. If present, they may mimic an enlarged prostate (aka BPH) or prostatitis.

Q: Please tell me this isnt prostate cancer im only barely 19!?
Im a healthy just turned 19 year old male. On friday afternoon i started having these weird symptoms. I began urinating frequently, however in very small amounts. I also started having urinary hesitancy. It can take a minute or more for me to get urine flow. My dad has threatened to kick me out of the house (jokingly) because I keep talking about this. He says i have some kind of infection at worst (i sure believe and hope so). Anyways, i wish i could be ok and relax thinking its a urinary tract infection, but ive got no pain or blood in urine. I dont have an STD because im a virgin. Im scared enough to have made an appointment for tomorrow with a urologist. Im hoping its either a bladder infection of some kind or a UTI without pain or blood (dont even know if its possible) I as a hypocondriac researched this for the past 2 days. Im way too young to either have an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer, however i have the hesitancy, urge to go frequently with little urine coming out, and no pain! these are some of the symptoms of prostate cancer and or enlarged prostate. I dont want to lose any more sleep from this, can anyone help me with reasons this cant be prostate cancer and how im just overreacting? Thanks so much!

A: Only rarely does a UTI cause bleeding, and you can sometimes have a UTI without pain. There are also many other things, such as stones, that could be the cause of these symptoms that are not cancer. The likelihoo of someone your age having prostate cancer is very slim. By the way, Rx used in the answer above, means prescribe/treatment, and I agree, you will most likely get antibiotics from the urologist tomorrow.

Q: Can Lupron injections for Prostate Cancer leak out the hormone if not administered correctly?
My dad gets Lupron injections for prostate cancer. The injection site is leaking quite a bit, has for the past 2 treatments (1 every 3 months). Based on other symptoms, we think his body isn't keeping the full injection, although the dr. says this isn't possible. Is it possible some of the actual hormone could leak out and not just the oil that it is packed in? Or is there a blood test that would measure the amount of hormone in his system vs. how much should be in his system?

A: I was taking shots for 3 years. They hurt my hips so bad, I was in constant pain and walking was difficult. I switched to Lupron Depot, a capsule placed in arm, with 1 year effectiveness. I would have stopped treatment without this alternative. The cost is the same, but check with insurance, since some raters don't know what the procedure is. Good luck to all of you.
