It sounds like you might have a UTI or something though so see the doc and let him check you out. The hair on one side is normal as you are still going through puberty.
2 :
YOU ARE JUST STARTING TO DEVELOP, I WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT ..YOU COULD SEE A DOCTOR , TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY.
3 :
have NEVER heard of a 12 yo boy having prostate cancer...relax and let nature continue its journey....
4 :
Cancer is very unlikely - more likely your body is just going through changes for puberty and your hormones have not yet levelled off. If you are very concerned, talk to your dad or a doctor, but I think it is just growing pains and such. Peace!
5 :
Probably.
6 :
It's doubtful. I wouldn't be concerned about the hair not growing in evenly. 12 is pretty young. If the hair hasn't all grown in by 16+, then maybe worry - that is, if you care how even your scrotum hair is. lol BUT... the pain and frequent urination could be signs of a problem... anything from a bladder infection to who knows what. I'd go see your doctor about that.

Are you serious or are you trying to be funny? You clearly do not know the symptoms of prostate cancer because you don't have any of them. Do you even know what a prostate is? The earliest case of prostate cancer I can find any documentation about is at age 27 and that's extremely early.

don't worry about the hair, you are entering puberty it will even out. I don't think you have cancer, but to put your mind at ease, see your doctor about the pain in your pelvis. most of all don't worry too much , can make things seem worse I'm sure you will be okay

i wouldn't worry....but if you want to talk to your doc
10 :
yes, you do. You will die. Maybe. one day.

Honey I doubt you have cancer but you need to tell your parents about the problems you are having. Besides the hair growth the other things can be serious like a urinary tract infection, bladder infection, or kidney infection. It is very important that you share this information with your mom or dad and get to a doctor. Any of those infections can cause pain and make you really sick if you don't get checked out. I know you may be embarrassed to tell them but it's not a big deal and they need to know.

No. During puberty, hair doesn't grow in evenly. Puberty doesn't go by a plan and it doesn't work in any sort of even pattern. Men generally don't have to worry about prostate cancer or get checks until their 40s. The best thing to do would be to ask your doctor but the likelihood is that there is nothing wrong with you.

Gross! You're too young to be on the internet! Play outside or something. Or get a job. As a hobo. Cause all hobos have prostate cancer.
14 :
When you start crapping in your pants cause you are trying to pee then I would worry about your prostate or in about 35 years. As far as hair on one side of your balls only. That sounds mighty strange. Are you masturbating with only one hand. This could be part of your problem. Most yound men don't know that you have to switch hands once in a while or you are going to end up with all kinds of problems.
