It affects the urinary system, as that is the system it belongs to and causes the symptoms associated with BPH and prostate cancer. It may also affect any other system it may spread to.

Prostate cancer feels off testosterone. That's why, to stop the cancer, the testicles are removed. That's why I assume that it may raise the risk of developing the cancer. May is the operative word. Nothing is completely proven to my knowledge.

no idea what those two big words are or mean

Old men develop cancer when their hormone levels DROP. Young men have lots more hormones and seldom get prostate cancer. There are lots of studies showing that old men are helped in many ways by supplementing testosterone. It's really odd that it isn't more common. Unless they already have cancer, then it isn't good. Taking unnecessary hormones by young men is a problem in many ways.

39 years old is the youngest that I know of... It is not likely that he has a detectable Prostate cancer at age 18. Prostatitis or Urinary Infections are more likely. Young men have a higher chance of having testicular problems... they should be informed. They should know that if there is a (testiculat) problem or changes like a lump or pain- to let a parent and/or Dr. know asap. Time is of the essance and the sooner the better if there is a testicular cancer. Teens are at a higher risk for that... but men can get it later in life as well the risk decreases with age for testicular CA but increases for Prostate CA. If you're over 50, have abnormal s/s - or a family history of prostate cancer-it's a good idea to get a (the routine blood test/cancer screening)-P.S.A.. Prostatic Specific Antigen -is helpful with your exam. Hope to be of help! :)
