Is it possible to have prostate cancer at 19?
I'm 19 and for a year I've been having horrible sharp prostate pain that comes and goes every few days

I hope not, most of the time pain is due to some psychological/spiritual kinda problem

of course its possible, but not likely. you should've told your doctor before now. hopefully it's nothing to worry serious.

anything is possible if you just believe.

It does happen but very rare. See a doc and get checked out.
7 :
yes im sorry
8 :
could be, do you have any family history of that? but it could be other things, maybe a peri anal infection? search it
9 :
Call your doctor and ask him if the pains are nothing or something. If it's been for a year, they might be something, but maybe not something that bad. It is possible to get cancer at any age, but just call your doctor to get an appointment soon. good luck! feel better! :)

Yes, see your doc. Don't wait.

It is possible, but not probable. If there is any cancer in your family line especially prostate cancer in men - your chances are higher. You really should get checked out by a doc to find out what is happening. If you're sexually active you could have contracted some horrendous disease. There are any # of things that could cause this - but you should get checked out as there are many things that can get worse or turn into something more if you don't nip it in the bud. Your chances are really good of a full recovery from prostate cancer if it is detected early. There is a high likelihood of death if you wait until the pain is killing you to address it and it is in fact prostate cancer!

It's possible, or you could have something called prostititus, which is swelling of the prostate. My boyfriend has this, and he has found that alcohol and smoking aggravates this, so he did the obvious. He still gets pains after ejaculating, but not nearly as much. Please see a doctor, my father had surgery for prostate cancer and just completed radiation treatments. Nineteen seems too young, though

Yes you can get it at any age. Are you having problems urinating? as in hard to start the flow and stops during the flow? do you feel like you need to pee all the time? If yes then you may have a prostate problem. This may only be an infection (I had this about 1 year ago). If that's all it is then it is only a case of giving you a course of drugs. Best to get it checked out, that way if it is something more serious the earlier you get it checked out the more they can do to help you.
