Can a pelvic ultrasound detect prostate cancer

can a pelvic ultrasound detect prostate cancer?
I was wondering if a normal pelvic ultrasound detects prostate cancer. My prostate was checked in an ultrasound about a month ago and it was normal. I'm wondering because I've had a lot of prostate problems and I'm only in my 20's. I knew a guy who was only 28 that had prostate cancer.

I AM SORRY THAT YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. YES, PELVIC ULTRASOUNDS CAN DETECT PROSTRATE CANCER HOWEVER THE BEST TEST FOR PROSTRATE CANCER IS A PSA TEST. NO, I NEVER HAD ONE (LADIES DONT HAVE THIS) BUT I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS TEST IS BETTER AT DETECTING PROSTRATE CANCER THEN OTHERS. PLEASE FEEL BETTER SOON AND PLEASE, DONT WORRY, OK? YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT. GOD BLESS

preventative its not a cure but lowers your risk of getting it
3 :
supposedly
4 :
Probably both.
5 :
preventive,
6 :
Some believe it is a preventative, as sharks do not suffer with any cancer as they are all cartilaginous. Raw organic pumpkin seeds, about a handful per day, are proven to help keep the prostate healthy. Don't know about treatment or cures for prostate cancer
7 :
Probably none. Tigers bones are used as medicines in the far east along with other things, seriously, tiger bones for medicine, shark cartilage a prostate cancer cure, some people must either believe everything they are told.....or.....have really high hopes !
8 :
If anything it would be preventive. Prostate problems are related to Harmonie unbalances which cause uncontrolled growth. Check out Estrogen and plastics, note plastics give off a type of Estrogen that may cause the uncontrolled growth of the prostate.
9 :
Shark cartilage and other cartilage/calcium alternative claims haven't held up under scientific studies. It's probably generally healthy, but I don't think it can cure cancer. Sorry.
10 :
No. Myth.
11 :
Ask a doctor. Not an MD, but a DO. They have as much schooling as MDs, can write prescriptions just like MDs, but don't throw pills at you like MDs. They try to get to the root of the problem, and treat it in a different way. DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathy. See one. If he recommends surgery, and wants to remove your prostate, do it. He might have a lot of other ideas though. He'll know all about shark cartilage. Good luck to you. :)

My prayers go out to you. Hang in there. God is always beside us through thick and thin. My husband has a submandibular mass on the rt. side of the neck by the tonsils and lymph nodes about the size of a golf ball. The left side is smaller. The doctors just got through putting a feeding tube to the stomach and a port. The port is for chemo and the feeding tube will be when the doctor starts radiation on him since his throat will be sore and tender. We are looking at 7 to 11 months of this plus he is diabetic on top of this. Please stay in touch with me on how you are doing. We are scared just like you, but please remember the Lord your God is with all of us. Due to where my husband's cancer is, he will have to have all his teeth pulled. He has wonderful teeth but they can be replaced. Is the radiation you are taking like an x-ray? Also I would like to mention to you to get a gallon of Aloe Vera juice at Wal Mart and drink about a half cup a day. It is very healing to the body. It does not taste bad or anything. My step dad took it faithfully and did not have to have colon surgery due to this. I have my husband taking it. Best of luck to you and May God Richly Bless You. You are in my prayers. E-mail me at bgdizzyjlynn@yahoo.com Do not give up. Okay?
