No connection at all you are in a safe and ride a bicycle and never worry about the prostate cancer..Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system.

This question is for men that have had prostate cancer. What do you need the most from your wife

This question is for men that have had prostate cancer. What do you need the most from your wife?
My husband had prostate cancer and you know what that means as far as the bedroom scene. I just don't know how to handle this. Do I keep trying and let him get frusterated, or kind of shrug it off when ever he trys in order to keep him from getting frusterated?

If he's willing to try, let him. Acting differently towards him will frustrate him more.
2 :
Don't shrug it off. If he wants to keep trying then the best thing you can do is try along with him and assure him that you enjoy the closeness as much as the act itself. I know I'm not a man with prostate cancer but my husband has had it and he appreciated the effort even when it became frustrating for him. Good luck and my prayers are with you both.
3 :
A man with prostate cancer may not perform due to: 1. nerves of erection were damaged during surgery 2. medications that he is receiving for prostate cancer can decrease his libido and erection Pls check with the urologist on these matters

Why are a lot of people aware of breast cancer than prostate cancer

Why are a lot of people aware of breast cancer than prostate cancer?
I don't understand why a lot of people consider breast cancer of higher importance than prostate cancer. A lot of scientific research done is spent on breast cancer, girls are being immunised in high schools in the uk to protect them from cancer, whereas boys get nothing.

A lot of money is going into treatment of cancer for females than males why?

Breast cancer awareness is not coming from the medical community . . it is coming from the private, political, and business sector . . many years ago businesses realized that it is women who buy the most products . . who are the ones that do the overwhelming amount of shopping . . this idea was promoted by a business women by the name of Evelyn Lauder who owned Estee Lauder cosmetics . . she had breast cancer. She wanted to get all businesses involved in breast cancer awareness and was the one who established the PINK ribbon and all the pink products that followed . . other breast cancer foundations and businesses followed her lead and began using the pink ribbon to symbolize the disease. Breast cancer awareness came about due to the overwhelming support by businesses who knew a good marketing tool when they saw one . . plus they figured it would give them some much needed favor points to support women (their number one client) .. plus I suppose some of them also thought it might be the 'right' thing to do. It has been one of the most successful marketing of a disease ever . . but this in no way should distract from the fact that children, adolescents, and men can all get cancer and die from it too . . there just is less interest in the business world to market to these demographics (kids don't buy things and men let their women buy things). So it isn't that the majority of people believe that breast cancer is more important or that anyone in the medical field thinks its more important . . its just that businesses have decided that supporting women with breast cancer and using pink is a better marketing tool.
2 :
There may be more advertizing for breast cancer, but I am not aware of anyone who is not aware of either cancer nor do I know of anyone who believes one is more important than the other. Breast cancer patients do require immediate treatment which is not always the case with prostate cancer. Also, men get breast cancer too. There is no vaccine for cancer nor is there anything to protect anyone from getting it. If you are referring to the HPV vaccine males get HPV related cancers too. The money spent on treatment is spent on everyone with cancer. I donâ€™t know the numbers, but it is very likely more is spent on men as they tend to get cancer more than women.

Is it common for males under 30 to be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer

Is it common for males under 30 to be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer?
I just want to know if it is common for males that are under the age of 30 to be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. If so, are there certain causes that lead to being diagnosed at such a young age?

Virtually no one is diagnosed with prostate cancer at that age. However, a person with another form of cancer in their past has a higher risk of all forms of cancer later. Otherwise, very rare. Best of luck
2 :
usually testing for prostate cancer happens at the age of 40 , I know this because my husband will be tested because his grandfather and father both had prostate cancer and we have spoken to many doctors about this. Does anyone in your family have prostate cancer it is hereditary
3 :
Cancer does not discriminate on any age. Just after 50 most PD want you start screening for prostate and colon cancer. Health plans will not want you screened under 50 unless you are having it checked by your PD by getting a digical exam. I don't remember ever getting a rectal exam under 50. Having urinary problems is the beginning that can be a prostate problem and should be reported to your PD for further testing.

What are the causes of prostate cancer

What are the causes of prostate cancer?
My friend Dad died of prostate cancer, he told me that the attending doctor told him that the cause of prostate cancer is over sex or under sex. Is this correct? They're twelve in the family.

I read a doctors report that said all men will get prostate cancer if they live long enough. I think we need a cure.
4 :
It continues to amaze and irritate me that these kinds of stories appear so frequently among lay people. Maybe the comment by the physician was said in jest, or the patient didn't quite catch the context of the statement that was uttered by the physician. Or just maybe the physician was having a bad day, month, year, or life. At any rate, if that statement was made, it is, in my humble opinion, irresponsible, at the least. Physicians are trained to be non-judgemental, but they are only human too. The cause of any cancer is a combination of factors which, at the level of the molecular machinery of a cell, cause that cell to begin to divide uncontrollably. Errors appear in the DNA (genes) of the cell and it just becomes a cell that "can't say no" to continuously divide. Thus, a tumor forms and as the tumor grows larger, more errors occur, and the behavior of the cells is no longer helpful to the person, but harmful. When we understand that each of our bodies is made up of trillions of cells, yes, thousands of billions, it is a wonder that more cells do not become tumors than do. The body has mechanisms for dealing with these abnormal cells, but for reasons still unknown completely, these mechanisms allow the tumor to progress. The more rapidly a cell type divides normally in the body, the more often those cell types become cancerous. Thus, in women there is a relatively high incidence of breast cancer, and in men, prostate cancer. There are many factors that are associated with a higher incidence of cancer in certain ethnic groups, but as to the certain cause of one individual's cancer, medical science is simply not sophisticated enough to make that determination yet. It may never get to that level of sophistication. So, take good care of your body, it is the only one you will get in your lifetime. And the same goes for me and for any other person. There was a very special man who lived in the Holy Land 2000 years ago who stated in his language: "MODERATION IN ALL THINGS" That remains the best advice, I believe, for all of us

where can I buy authentic prostate cancer awareness bracelets

where can I buy authentic prostate cancer awareness bracelets?
Hi, I am interested in buying prostate cancer awareness bracelets to support the cause. Any idea where I can buy bracelets like this that will actually support research? Thanks.

I'm sure you can get them at the American Cancer Society.Org
2 :
Just pick any online support organization for prostate cancer . . there really isn't any 'official' bracelet . . but each organization sells them for their own purposes . . this is true of all cancer organizations except for breast cancer and the pink marketing and possibly Lance Armstrong and the yellow Live Strong bracelets. All the other cancer organizations decide for themselves the colors and what to sell . . so locate a support group for prostate cancer and buy a bracelet from them.

Research has suggested that men who ejaculate regularly (20+ times each month) have a significantly reduced risk of contracting prostate cancer in later life. One research paper went as far as asking the participants about their sexual activities, and those who replaced sex with masturbation had the same results as those who only took part in sex. This does not mean that if you don't ejaculate regularly you'll develop prostate cancer, just that you're at a higher risk. I've attached links to 2 of these studies, the first had some 30,000 participants, and the second a little over 2,500.

On the contrary. Frequent prostate stimulation actually decreases your changes of prostate cancer. Keep it up, and enjoy yourself.
4 :
What the ...! I've never heard of a prostate being stimulated. What are you doing to it - reading it newspapers? I think sticking anything up your butt - as the other respondent suspects - is a disorder in itself! Dirty booger!
5 :
I very much doubt it, as long as you live a relatively healthy lifestyle. Apparently, some medical websites claim that It Is better to stimulate it and masturbate.
6 :
no
7 :
Hi there There are five main causes of prostate cancer: a) age c) diet d) testosterone e) heredity d) genetics There are no records of prostate cancer being caused by frequent prostate stimulation. However, it can lead to some prostate disorders. Prostate stimulation is the most efficient natural technique in preventing almost every prostate disorder if used correctly. Overusing it may lead to sever swelling and pain of your prostate as well as minor to sever mechanical damage. Give your prostate some time to rest and everything will be just fine, actually, prostate stimulation is the best way to keep your prostate healthy along with healthy diet, ofc :) Hope this helps.
