Casodex blocks testosterone at the receptor, decreasing stimulation for growth of prostate cancer. It quickly results in an essentially castrate state, so the side effects are those of lack of testosterone, often including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, decrease in muscle mass, osteopenia/osteoporosis (weakening of bones), alterations in mood, possibly depression. Careful with on-line drug purchases, as they may not be under the same strict regulation we take for granted in this country, so you might not get what you think. If it's just vitamins it might not matter so much, but if your cancer drug turned out to be ineffective...

Christians: if masturbation is a sin, then why does it reduce the chance of prostate cancer

Why would God make masturbation have healing powers if it was sinful?

Satanic scientists lie.
3 :
He's trying to let you know that girls are more fun. duh!
4 :
there is no such thing as a healthy sin
5 :
because pro lifers want to save living cells and prostate cancer cells are alive... "SAVE THE TUMORS"
6 :
Its not a sin bro. God wouldn't care about something so petty I honestly believe that is just bullshit that humans made up because it seems indecent. Masturbation is a normal thing to do and God doesn't mind. Don't let others know obviously but if your worried God is mad at you for masturbating I don't think you have to worry about that anymore.
7 :
it doesn't have healing powers. it reduces a risk..?
8 :
cause back when the Holy Bible was written, they didn't know that masturbation reduces the chances of prostate cancer.
9 :
Prostate cancer is one of the Abrahamic deity's gifts he wants you to have, obviously. Why do you hate teh babby Jeebus?
10 :
It is only a sin if you are denying your spouse there conical rights.
11 :
You have to do it a lot to get any benefit.
12 :
its self abuse
13 :
only because a priest got caught jacking off
14 :
Masturbation is no longer considered sinful in the modern day world!
15 :
Paul and Jesus both felt that people should be concerned more with the spiritual than the physical. Anything that is "of the flesh" distracts from the spiritual and is to be avoided.
16 :
no such thing as sin. Also important to realize medical research is statistical analysis and loaded with flaws I seriously doubt that masturbation reduces prostate cancer.
17 :
Pounding sand is the alternative to taking your puppy for a walk.
18 :
Where in the bible, does it state it reduce the chance of prostate cancer? Well lets consider Colossians 3:5, which reads: “Deaden, therefore, your body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness.” And 1 Thessalonians 4:4, 5 says: “Each one . . . should . . . get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in covetous sexual appetite such as also those nations have which do not know God.” Such counsel applies to married Christians as well as to those who are single, but even more restraint needs to be exercised by single persons since finding relief of passion by sexual relations is limited to those who are married. Can you see that masturbation is a practice that violates the command to deaden “sexual appetite”? Masturbation is a form of uncleanness. The Christian apostle Paul’s counsel is right to the point: “God called us, not with allowance for uncleanness, but in connection with sanctification.” And again he writes: “Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God’s fear.”—1 Thess. 4:7; 2 Cor. 7:1. This world ruled by Satan tolerates unclean conduct, even encourages it.
19 :
Since when is reducing chances of cancer "healing" cancer?
20 :
It is really not a sin. Many males have to relieve their tensions through masturbation. Just do it and do it for your religion And offer the pain to the church.Even priests were told to masturbate.
21 :
becuz whoever made up that rule didn't fucking know about any possible benefits. thats the whole thing about church teachings. even tho they claim that they come from a supposedly all-knowing infallible source, they were made up by people, just like u and me. don't think too hard about religion....it doesn't make sense.

Anyone out there had a robotic prostatectomy? Prostate Cancer removal. How long was ED present

Anyone out there had a robotic prostatectomy? Prostate Cancer removal. How long was ED present?
I am interested in hearing from individuals who have used Robotic Surgery for prostate cancer removal. I would like to know your age at time of surgery and the lenght of time E.D. was present. Has anyone returned to normal or can say they have had a full recovery? Thank you for your time!

Hello..My father undergone such procedure( I mean surgical cancer removal of the prostate gland).He is 69 year old and now he's feeling not as before,but ay least better.The doctors are saying that can be expected a full recovery even at his age..Hope that was at least a little helpful regarding your question. Best of luck! God bless!

I'm not a health care professional but I've tried Una de Gato. It puts saw palmetto to shame in my opinion I say that simply because saw palmetto is often compared to the efficacy of pharmaceutical prostate products which I've read are marginal at best. I have not had any experience with saw palmetto, but I have taken cat's claw (Una de Gato) for arthritis. When I was taking cat's claw my urine flow went from little to a lot with in the six month period I was using it. I had no idea that I had any problem in that area. Cat's Claw Is mostly reputed most often as being helpful for prostate and breast cancer. It is among other things helpful for recovery from chemotherapy and for preventing the re-occurrence of cancer. The bark of a vine that grows in the Peruvian jungle. I took two sticks about 5 in. long, 1 in. wide, and 1/8-3/16 in. thick, put them into a 2 qt. sauce pan full of water (1/2 in from brim) on med. high heat bring to a rapid boil for 1 min.Turn off the heat and put on the lid, tilted at first, leave the sticks in until it is completely cooled. If you want it sweetened use only honey, organic if possible. Do not put refined sugar in it! Cat's claw will taste like tea or coffee depending on how strong you make it. If you need it to be more potent, once cooled, take the sticks out, and simmer to evaporate water as in a decoction process.Caution: not safe for women who are pregnant or lactating.

Get your prostatectomy surgery in INdia.Prostatectomy is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by the stinking NHS in UK They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star . My cousin got his prostatectomy surgery in Indiais more than very happy with the results.He is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company for the services they provided him.He paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for him.Excellent stay,food, best surgeons-she just couldnt stop talking.hope this helps. http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com

I mentor guys with prostate cancer. I had it four years ago at 51 years old and had a radical prostectomy. Two weeks later my surgeon became one of the only ones doing robotic removals. I have talked to him at length about the benefits. He said, because of the new accuracy he will never go back to the old surgery method. However, he made it clear, that he and most others have a hard time getting the hang of the robotic procedure, and usually need re-training. So, don't be one of your doctor's first patients. I have talked to several guys who were very happy with their robotic procedures. Their recovery time is about 3-4 weeks instead of 6-8 weeks. But, no matter what any doctor tells you E.D. is going to be your biggest issue afterward. Only about 25% of patients fully recover. I'm at about 90%, and all the viagra in the world isn't going to help me (done them all, hate them all). Incontinence shouldn't evern be a concern if you have a top notch surgeon at a major center doing the work. I was at UC Irvine medical center. My doctor's name was Alhering. The trauma of surgery, robotic or not ,will take its toll. I also had my limph nodes removed, so there was additional trauma. But, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm in good shape - for the moment.

How far along have blood tests for prostate cancer gone

How far along have blood tests for prostate cancer gone?
Are the accurate yet or will they be in about 20 years when I start getting them? I sure hope so, no one wants the finger.
Cancer - 6 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Speaking as a physician The answer you seek is yes! The blood test is extremely accurate but it does need to be done 12 monthly after the age of 50
2 :
I think they are pretty well advanced. There are two ways of testing for cancer -- the finger used by the doctor, and the psa which she uses, which is in fact the blood test. The first gives an indication and the second confirms or denies it. You ask about 20 years. Things will be so advanced in 20 years that the doctor will only need to look at you to tell that you have cancer. Things are improving by geometric, rather than arithmetic progressions. You younger folks are so lucky.
3 :
The blood test for prostrate is to show how much of a certain chemical is being released into your blood stream if the percentage is higher than say 4 you very likely have cancer it ia reliable in so much as it gives an idicator that you need treatment so though not 100% accurate it is the best available .
4 :
Please see the web pages for more details on Prostate specific antigen. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland. PSA is present in small quantities in the serum of normal men, and is often elevated in the presence of prostate cancer and in other prostate disorders. A blood test to measure PSA is the most effective test currently available for the early detection of prostate cancer. Higher than normal levels of PSA are associated with both localized and metastatic prostate cancer (CaP).
5 :
There is a lot of research into biomarkers for prostate cancer. Perhaps in 20 years, there will be something better than PSA. PSA itself is not especially accurate. This is because it's produced by both healty and diseased prostate tissue. Since the prostate gradually enlarges as you age, the amount of PSA in your blood also increases. While a very high PSA usually means cancer, it may simply mean an unually large prostate. Similarly, many men are diagnosed with cancer, even if their PSA's are below the magic "4.0" number. There are various auxilliary measurements...Free PSA and PSA velocity being two key measures, which can improve the accuracy of the test. But at this time, the only definitive test for prostate cancer is a comprehensive (and somewhat painful) biopsy. The "finger" is an unfortunate part of the physical exam for adult men.Even in the PSA era, both the finger and the blood test are part of the annual routine. If you think it's bad, ask the woman in your life what her annual exam is like.
6 :
I have had Prostate cancer, and had my prostate removed. The finger, better known as DRE(Digital Rectal Exam) is the best way to diagnose prostate problems. I wish more doctors used this method. Maybe then I would not have had the surgery. But once you are over fifty years old, the PSA blood test is the best way to determine if cancer exists. If a high reading is present, then a biopsy of the prostate will be the determining factor as to whether you have cancer or not. With advancing medicine and research, who knows the future. Hopefully we can take a pill to prevent cancer. But until then, I give you the finger as the best way to help you.

Does not masturbating increase my chances of prostate cancer

Does not masturbating increase my chances of prostate cancer?
or is that just BS with no scientific or medical basis?
Men's Health - 6 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :

1 :
Yes. Strange eh
2 :
Technically, yes. It is because when ever you masturbate, you keep on ejaculating, thus releasing stagnant semen from your seminal vesicles and stagnant fluids from your prostate. When the fluids in your prostate don't get flushed out often, they form calcifications - the start of growth of prostatic tumors. It is therefore of no wonder that old men tend to have prostate cancer.
3 :
Frequent ejaculation, whether from masturbation, or intercourse with another person, is essential for good prostate health.
4 :
I am not sure that there is any proof positive that masturbation increases your chance of prostate cancer. I have heard it said - I also think that it might be one of those stories that you read with no scientific basis to it. To be blunt with you - if every male member of your father and mother's family has died of prostate cancer then you are likely to get prostate cancer whether you masturbate ten times a day or never. Prostate cancer generally is one of those things that we inherit susceptibility to from genes. Masturbating may be fun, good for you and incredibly common. It probably does you no harm at all but does it really decrease your chances of prostate cancer - I doubt it really. Cheers
5 :
yes it does, so you better start masturbating lol
6 :
That doesn't sound like it has scientific proof. An important risk factor for prostate cancer is age; more than 70 percent of men diagnosed with this disease are over the age of 65. African American men have a substantially higher risk of prostate cancer than white men, including Hispanic men. Genetic factors appear to play a role in prostate cancer development, particularly among families in which the diagnosis is made in men under age 60. The risk of prostate cancer rises with the number of close relatives who have the disease. Some evidence suggests that dietary factors may increase or decrease the risk of prostate cancer.

Why so much attention and government funding to treat breast cancer as opposed to testicular/prostate cancers

Why so much attention and government funding to treat breast cancer as opposed to testicular/prostate cancers?
testicular and prostate cancer are as common in men as breast cancer is in women
Politics - 16 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
testicular cancer affects mostly young men and breast cancer affects mostly older women. Young men have less political clout than older women. Prostate cancer is near 100% curable in the US if discovered early, so it's a non-issue
2 :
women sob, whine and complain more
3 :
I always wondered that, too.
4 :
Because women squirt out voters...men don't!
5 :
prostate cancer is slow moving and the death rate is lower than breast cancer.
6 :
Women have to get there way, and the government listens to their complaining
7 :
Breast cancer is terrible and so is prostate cancer, it has killed many of my family members and is the sole reason why I do not want to live long enough to get cancer.
8 :
in the UK prostate cancer survival is still less than 50%, but that's because there is no early detection in european countries....rationed care
9 :
Everything is controlled by politics, that is why AIDS has so much money devoted to it, and diseases with more victims get less money. It is the same for breast cancer, which has a big political base, where as, prostate cancer which has more victims has much less support. The attention and money given to different causes don't necessarily relate to their impact on society.
10 :
because men don't complain as much as women about getting rights....
11 :
The guess the breast cancer treatment lobby is doing a better job then the others. If the foundations dealing with testicular and prostate cancer hired the same ad firms and the same lobby firms they would do better as well.
12 :
Because for some reason men still suck up to women even after they got us kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
13 :
Because the dramatic rise of breast cancer is directly linked to abortion, as noted by the insurance industry, and the resultant expenses, if disclosed, would bring down the globalist house of cards. _____ alekanddad - Nice list, but you left out the number one correlative factor - Women who have had abortions . . . especially in their first pregnancy. The best preventative measure for breast cancer is to carry your child to term and breast feed the child . Both my grandmothers had breast cancer in their 60's, and both survived long enough to die of old age-related causes in their 90's.
14 :
Because men and women can get breast cancer. Only men can get testicular or prostate cancer http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/breastcancer/a/breastcancfacts.htm says: "One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime." "Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk." "Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer." "Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74." http://ww5.komen.org/uploadedFiles/Content_Binaries/806-316a.pdf says: "Out of every one hundred cases of breast cancer, one will occur in a man" Also there are many risk factors for breast cancer Risk factors: • being a woman • getting older • having an inherited mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 breast cancer gene • lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) • a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer • a family history of breast, ovarian or prostate cancer • having high breast density on a mammogram • having a previous biopsy showing atypical hyperplasia • starting menopause after age 55 • never having children • having your first child after age 35 • radiation exposure, frequent X-rays in youth • high bone density • being overweight after menopause or gaining weight as an adult • currently or recently using estrogen or estrogen plus progestin hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from: http://ww5.komen.org/uploadedFiles/Content_Binaries/806-316a.pdf http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_1X_What_is_male_breast_cancer_28.asp says: "Breast cancer occurs mainly in women, but men can get it, too. Many people do not realize that men have breast tissue and that they can develop breast cancer." Some facts from http://www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk/breastscreen/breastcancer.html say; "In 2006 there were 45,508 new registrations of breast cancer in women in England, and 314 in men" "One in 9 women will develop breast cancer at some time in their life. The estimated risk of developing it for each of the other age groups has been calculated as:" * Up to age 25, 1 in 15,000 * Up to age 30, 1 in 1,900 * Up to age 40, 1 in 200 * Up to age 50, 1 in 50 * Up to age 60, 1 in 23 * Up to age 70, 1 in 15 * Up to age 80, 1 in 11 * Up to age 85, 1 in 10 It also says in England alone "11,990 women and 92 men died from breast cancer in 2007" To sum up it is because anyone can get breast cancer, it's just as, if not more, deadly that testicular/prostate cancer, and so many people can get it due to all the risk factors.
15 :
Politics, politics, politics. Women are more plausible victims to the press. And frankly, the breasts of women are more pleasant to think about than the prostates and testicles of men. Other posters here have mentioned that prostate cancer is 100% curable if detected early, thus "a non-issue," but as a member of a family from a part of the country with the world's highest per capita death rate from prostate cancer I have to add that detection of prostate cancer early enough to effect a cure without surgery that causes impotence while often failing to remove ALL of the cancer is a relatively rare event. Catching prostate cancer early enough to effect a cure before the cancer spreads and kills the patient depends on a positive prostate-specific antigen test (one of those "needless tests" President Obama and his henchmen in Congress want us to stop having). If the patient suffers physical pain, urinary incontinence, nocturnal urination or enlarged prostate and it turns out to be prostate cancer, the outlook is very poor - death usually follows in a few years. But it's much harder to make a hearts-and-flowers documentary about prostate cancer than it is to make one about breast cancer. Men aren't supposed to emote in photogenic ways; women are. Men are expected to just man up, go home and die. And part of it is that breast cancer is more treatable than testicular cancer - more Big Pharma money is out there promoting therapies for breast cancer than prostate and testicular cancers.
16 :
Because everyone is tired of paying attention to men's wieners 24/7. It's not the center of the universe. Just kidding... I'm not sure. You are right and it's an interesting point. We don't have penile appreciation month and it is a serious illness.
