ProstateCancer??

Was I going to lose my manhood, my dignity, and wear diapers for the rest of my life?

I was only 56 years old when my doctor told me I might have prostate cancer…scared the #!?#! out of me!  Fortunately, after multiple tests and a full biopsy there are no signs of cancer cells…yet.  But my PSA is still hovering around 4.6 like a sword hanging over my head.

That experience got my attention and pushed me to devour any information I could find on prostate health.  I read every book, every article, every website I could find to get better informed.  What I discovered is this:

Prostate Facts: • Almost 30 million men suffer from benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). • Odds are 2 to 1 you'll have prostate problems by the time you are 60. • Over 400,000 men in the United States alone undergo prostate surgery each year; and over a billion dollars a year is spent on prostate treatment. • Surgery often results in incontinence and impotence. • Proscar®, the leading pharmaceutical drug for treating prostate problems, is associated with sexual dysfunction and male breast enlargement. • Flomax®, a pharmaceutical drug for treating prostate problems, is associated with both nasel congestion and cough (incidence is double that of placebo).

Men, we need to take control of our prostate health before any problems start.  And if you are experiencing prostate symptoms, NOW is the time to face the facts and deal with them.

What to look for?  It could start out simple – you may experience some difficulty urinating, or perhaps an increased frequency of urination especially at night. Maybe you feel the urge to go, but not much happens.  Some guys experience painful ejaculation and have difficulty maintaining an erection. Yikes!  Doesn't sound like fun, does it? That's why now is the time to do something for your prostate health before problems start.

Look, just because you may experience some of these symptoms doesn’t mean you have prostate cancer. There are several benign prostate problems that develop in men, including infections, inflammations (prostatitis), and benign prostatic  hyperplasia (BPH) - an enlarged prostate These problems are quite common and may  happen to men of all ages.

Listen to this important prostate information:

 

You’ll find more detailed articles throughout this site, but here are the three main concerns. 

Prostatitis is an inflamed  condition of the prostate gland often accompanied by pain, discomfort,  frequent or infrequent urination, and sometimes even a low-grade fever.

BPH (benign prostatic  hyperplasia ) is the condition of an enlarged prostate. BPH is the main non-cancerous prostate problem and can cause discomfort and problems with urination.  Although it is not cancer, BPH symptoms are very similar to those of prostate  cancer. These can include impotence, or the inability to have or maintain an erection,  and urinary incontinence, or the loss of bladder control.

Then, of course, there’s prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the male equivalent of breast cancer, which threatens millions of women every year. Fortunately, a little precaution can reduce the dangers of prostate cancer, and might even help save your life.

Consider this--The five-year survival rate for men diagnosed with prostate tumors that are discovered at this while they are still confined to the prostate is 100 percent. Clearly, it is crucial for men to pay attention to their prostate health, especially as they age. Regular prostate  checkups can dramatically reduce your risk from this disease.

Prostate cancer starts with the growth of a malignant tumor inside the prostate gland and spreads by extending into the bladder, seminal vesicles, and  peritoneal cavity. It eventually metastasizes to the bones, lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and kidneys. The cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but there are certain risk factors you can be aware of or manage.

Risk Factors Age: Prostate cancer is particularly common among older men. It is reported to occur in over 40 percent of men aged seventy years or older. Race: There are substantial variations in the number of cases and death rate from prostate cancer among different countries and in racial and  ethnic groups. African-Americans suffers the highest mortality levels for prostate cancer in the world, followed by white males in Scandinavian countries.  Asian males have the lowest mortality rate. Family History: Men who have family histories of prostate cancer, particularly fathers or brothers, are two or three times more likely to develop the disease. Diet: Prostate cancer is associated with consumption of fats and obesity. You can reduce your chances of developing prostate cancer by modifying diet and controlling your weight.

How to prevent prostate problems:

Look, there’s no magic bullet to prevent prostate problems, but there are safe, natural solutions that can decrease your risk of encountering problems and alleviate symptoms.  First, pay attention to the risk factors above, then consider a prostate supplement—I’ve eliminated my own symptoms using Life Extension Natural Prostate Formula and Prostacet.  Find out more information about prostate supplements.
