Q: Testicle and abdominal problems..went to the doctor today what do you think?
So after sex Friday ive been having left testicle problems and in my lower left abdomen. Symptoms are: *Pulling/tugging/heaviness in left testicle* *Testicle feels to be pulled up twoards stomach more* *Lower abdomonial pain* *Frequent Urination* *More Gas/bloated feeling in stomach* --Went to the doctor today, got a check up, (testicle examination, prostate examination, STD check up and everything).....Doctor said he beleives I have pulled a muscle in my testicle, and gave me some pain pills........ BUT, aern't these signs of Testicular Cancer? OR do you think my doctor knew what he was talking about and if he thought I had testicular cancer he would of refferred me for a scan/Examination? HELP :(

A: Trust your doctor. No these arent the signs of cancer, main sign of testicular cancer is a small rigid lump in your testicle, like a little pebble, there are no other symptoms (no pain etc). In serious cases the cancer can spread to other parts of your body, but I doubt thats the case.

Q: What are the signs/symptoms of prostate cancer?
My husband recently told me for the past year he's been having trouble peeing - It wouldn't start when he felt he had to go and once it did begin, it hurt. I asked him hurt how? and he said kind of like peeing razor blades. His dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006, and the doctor instructed my husband to get checked when he turned 30 because this could be hereditary. Also, he's currently experiencing a lot of pain in his scrotal area - The right side was swollen last night when he got home from work, and he said he felt like he had pulled a groin muscle (was almost limping) - Is it possible it could be cancer? Or are we over paranoid?

A: NO YOU ARE NOT PARANOID - Has he been to a doctor for a psa and rectal exam. I would think he should. I have had prostate problems since I was 19 and believe me it is not fun. Mainly with pain in his scrotum - he should be examined. If it turns out just prostatitus I can tell you a remedy after some antibiotics that you both can work on or if he has to do like me and take care of it himself and that is to have sex on a regular basis. Same days every week - the medical reason being that the prostate generates fluid to be passed when ejaculation occurs. It builds this fluid supply on a routine basis. If this is not used there is an overabundance so this builds pressure in the prostate causeing swelling. The urethra passes thru the prostate and the flow of urine is affected causeing low flow, not emptying creating the urge to go more. I took control of mine by masturbating the same two days every week (Tuesday & Friday) cause my wife didn't want sex. Are you gonna tell him this? I hope so cause that hurts like heck. Good luck.
