maybe he's really not showing it to you, as men are the stronger vessel!
2 :
Well, it is sad that he seems unconcerned about it and it is OK if you worry about it. But you worrying is not going to make him concerned, perhaps you should find some literature about it so he can see just how gruesome and painful a death from such a cancer can be, and maybe this will shake him up enough to "get with the program"!
3 :
This is a very serious condition and nearly always results in death within months or a year at best , he may not want you to worry and feels very uncomfortable about talking about it, so my advice is make the best of the very limited time you have him for and don't talk about it unless he wants too, am so sorry,
4 :
Why should you be worried? He's the one with cancer.
5 :
Should you be worried? Yes, Canacer is a very serious and life threatening illness,

Masturbation seems to aid in the prevention of prostate cancer (the old use it or lose it scenario), as it keeps everything working. Sex would be better, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I heard about this in the 70s in a article from "Playboy"
2 :
masturbation does not lead to cancer but if you overdo it, it can hamper mental health
3 :
Till far into the 20th century, there were many doctors, educators and youth leaders who strongly disapproved of masturbation, and who wrote books which claimed that it had terrible health consequences – like insanity! This was all nonsense. But until around the 1960s, there were doctors and pundits who advised people to avoid masturbation. They suggested that it was immature or undesirable and that if someone got fixated on it, they might not learn more 'grown up' responses. Nowadays, experts have a completely different view of masturbation - and a very much more positive one. One of the reasons for this is the big change in people's lifestyles. In this 21st century, most of us can expect to have a much more changeable and flexible life than our grandparents did. We will live longer and we'll almost certainly have far more sexual and co-habiting relationships. But between these relationships we will find ourselves returning to single status. During these single periods, we'll most probably continue to have normal sex drives - and the most obvious form of sexual relief and satisfaction available to us at those times will be masturbation. So masturbation needs to be seen in this modern context, and viewed as an activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, normal - and very safe. In fact, masturbation is the safest form of sex there is, and very much safer - and often more satisfying - than one-night stands. The only time masturbation is not safe is on those rare occasions when young men decide to experiment by masturbating with potentially harmful objects - such as a vacuum cleaner! This is extremely dangerous, and definitely not to be recommended. The vast majority of men masturbate - even if they're in a long-term and happy sexual relationship. Masturbation comes pretty naturally to most guys. Let's face it; a male child discovers that his penis feels good before he can talk! So it's not surprising that boys fondle this area of their bodies a lot, and then, at the age of around 14, discover that masturbation can lead to orgasm and ejaculation - all of which they find extremely exciting and pleasurable. There are some men who don't masturbate, but these are mainly people who don't want to do it because of religious reasons, or because they're a bit uptight about sex. Also, some guys who have a fairly low sex drive don't masturbate. Some men - mostly from eastern cultures - try to avoid masturbating, as they believe it depletes their energy, and may shorten their lives. But there is no truth whatsoever in this belief. Most men masturbate by rubbing the penis with their ‘dominant’ hand - slowly at first and then more vigorously. Many guys grasp the shaft of their penis by wrapping their whole hand round it. Others grasp it between their thumb and first or middle finger. But however they do it, they don't usually have much doubt that they'll achieve orgasm as a result. This is quite a contrast to women, who may experience considerable anxiety about whether they will actually 'make it'. Some young men worry that they masturbate too much. The fact is that it's almost impossible to do this. Obviously, if a young guy is staying home and masturbating on the hour every hour, one might want to try to persuade him to get out more! But when a teenager first discovers sex it's quite common for him to want to masturbate several times a day, on some days. And this certainly won't do him any harm. ( However, masturbating constantly over a period of hours can produces some swelling or ‘puffiness’ of this penis. This is called ‘oedema’ and is due to fluid leaking into the tissues; it will disappear after some hours, as the fluid goes back into the bloodstream.) Other boys will masturbate quite rarely, especially if they don’t have a high sex drive - but that is normal for them. Some men in their 70s and 80s are still masturbating several times a week, but in general terms, men masturbate most in their teens and gradually do it less and less as their life progresses - depending partly on whether or not they have a partner at the time. As we have already indicated, many men still like to masturbate even when they are involved with a partner. They often feel that the orgasm they achieve through masturbation is less complex and more locally intense than climaxes achieved through sexual intercourse. Furthermore, they can control the pressure and speed of movement very accurately. In recent years, we have encountered a number of couples who achieve considerable satisfaction through the woman watching the man masturbate in front of her (or vice versa). Also, this practice is certainly helpful when – for some medical reason – intercourse is difficult or impossible.

So... It's normal and harmless, and can help prevent prostate cancer.
5 :
Masturbation will Just Lower The Blood Quantity In the body so uyou have u Drink Liquid Items or water every time

I hope masturbating does not cause cancer.

If you have an elevated PSA in a prostate test, what are the odds that it's cancer

If you have an elevated PSA in a prostate test, what are the odds that it's cancer?
My dad (age 55) had a prostate test and his PSA levels were high. He was referred to a urologist for a biopsy, were still waiting on the results. I just want to know what the liklihood of it being cancer is. Do high PSA levels mean it's most likely cancer?
Cancer - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
elevated levels do not always mean it is cancer, only a biopsy can give a definite answer. Prostate cancer is quite treatable, so try not too worry too much. Good luck.
2 :
no necessarily, psa is elevated in many diseases, like benign prostatic hypertrophy and trauma, not only on cancer, and dosen´t make the diagnosis of cancer per se, that´s why we need a biopsy, so don´t worry about it until you have the results, and in the case that it is positive (bad) the treatment for this cancer have excellent results, good luck
3 :
The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is just an aid, a screening tool in prostatic cancer diagnosis but only a biopsy will definitively diagnose that disease. PSA is a glycoprotein produced by prostatic tissue that increases in both BPH and prostatic cancer as well as with trauma and with rectal and prostate exams. However, it's significantly increased in prostatic cancer. You didn't provide the antigen level but if you can access it compare it to the following: 4-19ng/mL suggests BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy) a common condition of an enlarged prostate in men your father's age. 10-120ng/dL suggests prostatic cancer. Prostate cancer is one the most treatable forms with a high cure rate and a very favorable prognosis as long as it is in situ (inside the prostate gland) and hasn't metastasized (spread outside the prostate gland). I believe that the plastic surgeon above me meant that "if the biopsy is POSITIVE...".
4 :
my dad have a elevated PSA (34,8 in his case). He have done a biopsy and infortunately it was a cancer. He have done only One hormone by trimester and his PSA is of 0,35. The doctor told him that now is time to do something more, but its a very controlable disease fortunately
5 :
PSA is secreted by prostate tissue, healthy or diseased. As men age, it's normal for their prostates to gradually enlarge, and their PSA levels to rise. If your father's urologist has estimated the volume of his prostate, you can calulate his expected PSA by multiplying the volume in cc's by 0.066. If his actual PSA is higher than calculated, then the chance are good that cancer will be found.

How do you get prostate cancer and how do you know if u have it? Can it be in women

how do you get prostate cancer and how do you know if u have it? Can it be in women?

women dont have prostates- so no women cant have cancer of a gland they dont have. how you get it- unknown, how you know if you have it- medical tests. for a list of symptoms and other info go here http://www.cancer.ca/Canada-wide/About%20cancer/Types%20of%20cancer/Signs%20and%20symptoms%20of%20prostate%20cancer.aspx?sc_lang=en

The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. Women do not have prostates, so they cannot develop prostate problems. Prostate cancer is notoriously difficult to detect early. You can read more here:
3 :
First off women don't have a prostate it is part of the male reproductive system that controls flow of urine, semen, etc. As a recent victim of prostate cancer who just completed radical surgery I will tell you every doctor I saw said the same thing. There is no reason you should have this based on your health, medical history, environment, etc. I just happen to be one of the every six men who will get prostate cancer. You don't know you have it and if you do get some of the symptoms they are very subtle. They are like more frequent urination, less stream, etc. I didn't have any symptoms but happened to need to get blood work for an inflamed toe which lead to my finding out I had prostate cancer. How do you find out the best is a blood test that checks your PSA level and an exam. I had many exams that didn't find anything it was only after my blood work and the later biopsies proved what I had. My suggestion is get the blood work done if you have insurance. If nothing show up then fine if so then you will want to have it monitored yearly. There are new things coming out all the time. I hope this answers your question and if you have someone you are concerned about and they are over 50 get a baseline blood work done. Good luck

Does anyone out there know anything about prostate cancer

Does anyone out there know anything about prostate cancer?

Cancer - 2 Answers

Beli, Information about prostate cancer fills books. Here's some of it. Hope it helps. What is prostate cancer? Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate grow out of control. A group of abnormal cells together can form a malignant (cancerous) tumor. There are different kinds of prostate cancer. Some are very slow-growing and never become a serious health problem. Others are more aggressive and more dangerous. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the US. Over 210,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. All men can get prostate cancer, but it is more common in older men. Prostate cancer usually strikes men over the age of 50, and the risk goes up with age. African-American men have a higher risk than other men, and they tend to get prostate cancer at an earlier age. Men who have a family history of prostate cancer also have a higher risk. How do you lower your risk of prostate cancer? Don't smoke Cut back on food with animal fat (like red meat, processed meat, cheese, and other full fat dairy products) Eat more tomato-based foods (like pasta or pizza with tomato sauce) Avoid too much calcium. Try to stay near the national recommendations: adults under 50 years old should get 1000 mg a day; adults 50 and older should get 1200 mg a day. The American Cancer Society recommends that men age 50 and older talk to their doctor about getting screened yearly. African American men and other men at higher risk may want to start screening at an earlier age, based on the advice of their doctors. There are different types of screening tests for prostate cancer, such as the digital rectal exam (DRE) and the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test. Often prostate cancer causes no symptoms at all. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include: Difficulty starting or stopping to urinate Feeling the need to urinate frequently, especially at night Pain with urination or orgasm Blood in the urine or semen Pain in the lower back or hips These symptoms are most often caused by other, less serious conditions. Only a doctor can know for sure. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor. For more information on prostate cancer, visit these web sites: American Cancer Society National Cancer Institute
