Keep trying and find out.

The only way it can help in preventing it is to masturbate to get the semen fluid out of the prostate gland .. . .. This keeps the semen in the balls new and fresh and when a man becomes less sexual active in the 50's that is why they men in their 50's have to keep tabs on prostate cancer .. . .. So when you become less sexual active get it a pumping for the health of your body and mind .. . ..
3 :
no but regular orgasms do expel the various fluids including those produced by the prostate and that does in fact lower the risk of prostate cancer. and since most of us don;t get sex near often enough, masturbating daily is the best way to promote our prostate health.

i don't think so, i hope so!

whack off, whack on, whack off, whack on!!!!

no, two of the major causes of prostate cancers/enlargement fo prostate glands is the OVER and UNDER ejaculation. The prostate help produce fluid for sperm to swim (sperm + prostate juice = semen) So over ejaculation ( masturbation/sex) can maximize the wear and tear of your prostate. By science, normal ejaculation should take every 72 hours or 3 times a week. But, lets enjoy... why do you wana live longer in this crazy world... Enjoy life while you can -- whack of dude or get a girl. :) Cheers!

Masturbating won't help you overcome prostate cancer if you've already been diagnosed with it, but masturbating frequently when you're young can reduce your chances of getting it. A team of doctors led by Dr. Graham Giles queried a group of men with prostate cancer and an age-matched group of men without it about their sexual habits over their lives and discovered that males who ejaculated most frequently in their 20s had the least incidence of prostate cancer later. Dr. Giles recommends that younger males masturbate at least six times a week. Source: G.G. Giles, G. Severi, D.R. English, M.R.E. McCredie, R. Borland, P. Boyle, J.L.

Did any other men or women grow beards for prostate cancer awareness month

Did any other men or women grow beards for prostate cancer awareness month?
Are you keeping it?

I don't get why beards are legal. I mean they cover your face and you can basically change your appearance just by shaving it off. So you could rob a store shave and all of the sudden you don't look like the suspect.
2 :
I've had facial hair for about 10 years...pretty much after my term of service with the ARNG ended. With my job, I cannot have a full beard though. I'm not sure I would want one either.
3 :
I am crying with laughter at Fiona's answer. :'D To answer the question: Nah I don't grow any. I can't. I wouldn't want to anyway. I'm a girl.
4 :
@ fiona Well if that's the case , we should make make-up illegal too don't you think? You basically are just changing your face right?

Never heard of prostate awareness month.

My dog has prostate cancer & needs neutering, but I can't afford it. Is there any type of org. that can help

My dog has prostate cancer & needs neutering, but I can't afford it. Is there any type of org. that can help?
I live in Montgomery County MD, and have found sites that list vets that offer discounts, but since my dog already has cancer I dont think we can qualify. Is this true?

go to an animal proctective league or try and take donations someone will have pity for the dog
2 :
there is the PDSA but thats in England there might be simular type places near where you live. Hope your dog gets better
3 :
If you can't afford the neutering, you won't be able to afford the drugs or the chemo that he may need. Perhaps you should think about giving your dog up to a shelter, where they would provide him with the care he needs and can afford to do that.

Does Anyone Know About Prostate Cancer

Does Anyone Know About Prostate Cancer?
Hello. I found out yesterday that my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer over a year ago. He kept it a secret from me. He has been hospitalized for over a week. He is in bad shape. The cancer has spread to his pelvis bone area. A specialist is planning to stop the spread of his cancer. My dad's vital organs are in perfect condition. I love my dad more than life. He is more than a dad. He is my friend. I don't have too many friends in this life. What are his chances to survive?

The prostate cancer itself is a slow moving cancer and generally people do not die from Prostate Cancer but from other causes. If the cancer has spread from the Prostate to other body areas then some more radical treatments are called for including radiation seeding, and medications. If he now has cancer in the bone that is another kind of cancer, but if it is "regional" Prostate Cancer then it is radiation/medications. Surgery for removal of the Prostate is also a possibility. There are a ton of variables to Prostate Cancer and today's treatments are many times better than they were ten years ago. A lot depends on your father and what treatments would be most appropriate. Let me know if you have any questions.
2 :
Well, sometimes prostate cancer comes from the lack of releasing sperm from the body, thus it builds up. But if the cancer was caught early in time, the treatments should hopefully work.But I don't have a percentage on his survival. I hope your dad gets better.
3 :
Q D is wrong. Lack of releasing sperm from the body does not cause cancer, it causes prostatitis. When prostate cancer has metastasized to the bone it is necessary to begin serious treatment. Seeing a urologist and doing what he prescribes is best for your father from here on. You can help him by supporting him in obtaining treatment, and encouraging him. Prostate cancer is a slow-growing cancer, so he may die from something else before the cancer kills him. But he needs your support, because he may have some pain now that it is in the bones. His doctor will prescribe something for the pain. Don't panic, just be supportive of him. Some men have lived many years with metastatic bone cancer.

The chance of a man getting prostate cancer

The chance of a man getting prostate cancer?
in his lifetime is 17 percent -- roughly 4.5 percent greater than a woman's risk of getting breast cancer. One could argue that there is inequality in the way american society treats the sexes when it comes to cancer: Do we celebrate prostate cancer awareness month? Stage walks for prostate cancer research? Wear purple ribbons? Why not??

Yes actually we do have those things for men who have prostate cancer. You should do more research.
2 :
My grandfather died of prostate cancer, I donate to all cancer funds nothing specific though but I would support it no doubt if there was a stage walk or something. You should start something though, maybe bring awareness to it.
3 :
Prostate cancer and breast cancer are both unbelievably commercialized and politicized - to the point of having much more awareness, funding and organization than other, more serious and more prevalent cancers (the most prevalent example being lung cancer, which strikes and kills nearly twice as often as the gender-specific cancers in both sexes). It can certainly be argued, and argued well, that the commercialization of breast cancer has been more successful than the commercialization of prostate cancer (let's buy those pink ribbons, folks!). But I don't think the ideal solution is to have a male-only version of the disease just as trendy as the female one; I think the ideal solution would be if cancer research (and in particular funding for that research) would break down the unnecessary borders between politicized body parts, and look to treatments of the disease in general. The politicization of certain cancers has always bothered me - and only more so when you have personal experience with the people who are victimized by it (i.e. people diagnosed with less popular but similar forms of cancer who are given abysmal survival rates and substandard treatment because of the relative public disinterest in their forms of cancer).
4 :
Good question! As a first and important step, we have to identify a color that will be used on all our prostate cancer campaigns. Hopefully the president won't budge to Feminist pressure when they call this "testosterone drive" like when they stopped him on his first endeavor.
5 :
There's a blue ribbon campaign. Some people don't like it but some have embraced it. The seniors golf tour wears them. I volunteer for a 5K run on Father's day that is in support of prostate cancer research. Many, many women also volunteer and participate in the run. You see families running together as a team, sometimes literally carrying grandpa the whole way, mothers and fathers pushing baby carts...It is almost unbelievable to see how much people support it considering a few years ago men's issues were nobody's concern. But apparently we need to wait for 40 years until we are considered on the same level as far as "society" is concerned. Because it took 40 years of very hard work before anybody cared about breast cancer. So, I guess fair is fair.
6 :
Personally I am sick of seeing pink on everything I want to purchase. Hell I can't even watch a football game without seeing players wearing pink shoes! But along with that I am not going to criticize women for taking breast cancer to the masses and organizing for better breast cancer awareness. Men do not want to do this. So do not blame women. It is not up to them to make us more vocal. Breast cancer is just a money maker now, that is all. People do not donate to any other specific cancer charity like breast cancer. If you want big donations just slap a pink ribbon it. I wish we would just deal with cancer. There are many more deadly cancers out there that deserve just as much attention as breast cancer.
7 :
In an ideal world, we would allocate available resources based on science and urgency instead of political considerations. Sadly, our world is far from ideal.
8 :
CAustin II above said it best, and why not more research and study on pancreatic cancer. That's a much more serious form of cancer, and isn't detected until its nearing, or in, the final stages when its too late to cure. My brother had prostrate cancer at a very young age, it was detected, and cured in a relatively short period of time. It gets big funding because of Major League Baseball making everyone aware of it. Maybe we should make the NFL aware of pancreatic cancer so they can help do something about that.
9 :
Yes, in a normal world I could agree that prostate cancer is more serious the breast cancer. And we should as humans wear yellow ribbons for men. But from the beginning, men have stated that they are stronger, and superior to women. So therefore men have never admitted that external testicles are a weakness, or a prostrate is a weakness. And have always tried to control women, therefore there is no campaign against prostrate cancer, because men do not believe that their so called superior organs might be inferior to women.

I want to research a doctors experience in the field of prostate cancer.I would like his standing in thisfield
I am looking ahead in the next six months or so to be given radiation treatments to destroy the cancer. The procedure is quite delicate and I would like to check my doctors track record for this procedure and not from him but from public records but I do not know how to go about this process. I would be anxious to hear from anyone that does know. Thanks.

Everyone gets auditted from someone these days so the information will be somewhere out there. Remember that this information has to be carefully interpreted eg some physicians select better cases to treat and may have better outcomes because of this. Ask your doc how many he's done and then just ahve faith. Numbers are just numbers at the end of the day and most people would actually be happier not knowing. And radiotherapy instead of surgery suggests (atleast in the UK) non-curative treatment. PS If you're friendly with a doctor I'd ask him for personal recommendations, he may even recommend someone if you're not on friendly terms. Remember doctors (should) get a broad level of experience and will have worked with at least a few local urologists/ radiologists. This route is much better than looking for statistics in my opinion
