Q: prostate cancer?
Is it possible for a young man under 30 to get prostate cancer?
A: Yes. If you suspect you have it see your urologist. There are a number of different ailments that can affect that area of a man’s body. Don’t panic. If caught early it is %100 curable.
Q: Is this true that to much ejaculating could cause men to have prostate cancer or especially testicular cancer?
I heard ejaculating out of a women to much is unhealthy for young teen age boys and men and could have long term sexual health problem.Is that true?
A: research has NOT proven that the opposite is true!
Too much ejaculating leads to LOWER testosterone!! Why do you people think that you can jack off an endless amount of times and still be sexually healthy for intercourse?! It is not an endless amount of energy. Erections are fueled by testosterone. Testosterone sends nitric oxide to the penis so it stays erect. When you ejaculate, testosterone is used to make more sperm for the next ejaculation. If you keep ejaculating without letting your body keep up with testosterone production, you will start to lose testosterone.
When you lose testosterone, your sex drive will diminish, your erections will become weak, and you will develop symptoms of premature ejaculation.
Keeping the body at low testosterone puts a man at HIGH risk of prostate cancer, among other things!
Research only looks at healthy men that ejaculate in a healthy amount! When you ejaculate in a healthy amount, your body does produce more testosterone. But if you start doing it too much, the body cant keep up.
All you need is some common sense to figure this out! You cant blindly follow reseach! Why do you think there is such a huge market for erectile dysfunction pills such as viagra and cialis??!
Q: Can a 13 year old boy have prostate cancer?
I read that younger men that masturbate frequently have a higher risk at prostate cancer. and Older men (50’s) have lower risk if they masturbate frequently. If so, how many times do you recommend masturbating?
A: Men 50 years old ARE younger men for prostate cancer.
13 year old boys do not get prostate cancer. Stop believing everything you hear.
EDIT: You cannot get prostate cancer at any age and 5 year old does not have the hormones for it.
Q: What is the youngest age men can typically get prostate cancer? Say, roughly the lowest 10th percentile?
A: My doc told me that if it runs in your family you need to get checked 10 years before the age your fam. member was diagnosed. So if your dad had prostate cancer and was diagnosed at age 50, you need to get a prostate exam at age 40.
Q: Is any men out there 45 or younger dealing with prostate cancer ?
what was some of first symptoms you had ?
A: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is nonmalignant adenomatous overgrowth of the periurethral prostate gland. Symptoms are those of bladder outlet obstruction—urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia (urination during night), hesitancy, incomplete emptying, terminal dribbling, overflow incontinence, or complete urinary retention. Diagnosis is based on digital rectal examination, cystoscopy, transrectal ultrasonography, or IVU. Treatment options include 5α-reductase inhibitors, α-blockers, and surgery.
Symptoms:-
(1) Frequent urination especially at night.
(2) Feeling that urination has not done completely. If you try again after few minutes, you can pass a large volume of urine again.
(3) Weak flow of urine and intermittedly. A child can pass urine as a jet of water with force.
(4) Delay in urination. If you try, urine will come out a little later and not suddenly.
(5) Urgent need for urination.
(6) Dripping of urine.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (also known as TURP, plural TURPs) is a urological operation for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia.
Prostate Specific Antigen test is done to rule out the possibility of prostate cancer.
Please see the web pages for more details on Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, PSA and TURP.
Q: what is the youngest age a man can have prostate cancer?
A: Pretty rare under 50.

Q: Women, Have you ever wondered if there’s a blood test for Ovarian Cancer?
There is blood test available called a CA-125. The median age for Ovarian Cancer is 56. But it can show up at as young as 22. Ovarian cancer symptoms are silent but may be enlarged abdomen , diarrhea/ constipation like irratable bowel syndrome. Ask you doctor to order this test for you and take charge of your health. Call you insurance company and ask them to pay for this test. If your GP orders it , it is $25 or if your GYN $125. Men have PSA test for Prostate cancer yearly, so women need this test yearly also. Send this message on to the women you love and friends. You may save their lives..
A: If it was only that simple! This is one of those common ‘rumors’ circulated around the Internet via email. It’s a half truth.
This blood test, CA-125, is not good as a diagnostic tool because it can also detect menstruation, pregnancy, and endometriosis. Thus the real potential for false positive readings since all young women menstrate.
This tool can be used in combination with other diagnostics and it can be used to monitor a patient who already has cancer. If you monitor a cancer patient you can test to see if the levels are rising which might indicate a relapse or reoccurence. While if the levels decreased it would mean that treatment was working. That’s the best use for CA-125 at the moment.
Always check this type of information to see if it is an Internet myth, especially if received by email.

Q: Sam Newman diagnosed with prostate cancer.?
What a shame, lets hope this reminds men of ALL ages to get to their doctor and have a check.
Yes, that includes you younger guys too!!
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=387962
True Quandry but, look at cancer in women, Kylie Minogue, Delta Goodrem, & The late Belinda Emmett. They all had cancer at a young age.
There is always an exception to the rule, women or men.
Broooocie, You’re probably right! (NOT)
Don’t change your caring nature now will you 
))
A: I have met Sam, first time for me at the Footy Show in 1995. Eddie was talking to me on camera and I was answering a question, Sammy spoke at the same time I did.
After the show, Sam apologized for talking when I was, I told him it was no big deal.
Sam’s persona on radio and television is all an act. He is really a great bloke.
I hope he is all right, not because he is a Geelong man or was nice to me off camera on the Footy Show. Cancer is a bad thing and should not be the plight for anybody.
Q: Need more info….?
I asked how prostate cancer can affect a man’s ability to have sperm and got an answer for younger men…..but he’s over 50.
Soooo…how does prostate cancer affect a man’s ability to have children if he is over 50?
A: It would depend on how advanced the cancer is and what the doctor has to do to treat it. For example, if they have to remove the prostate it would not be possible to ejaculate and he would not be able to father a child. You definitely want to review this with your doctor and ask about the treatments.

Exercise is More Important Than Calcium Supplements for Bones
Monday, September 18, 2006
A study making recent news concluded that taking calcium supplements does not do much to reduce bone fractures in childhood or later life. The study did not cover all reasons, but it does not stand alone. Studies over many years show that bone density depends on more than eating calcium. Calcium loss occurs through smoking, drinking too much alcohol and soda, lack of exercise, and eating animal protein. A young person can thin their bones through bad habits to the equivalent of an elderly person.
Bone density when you are older depends on what you are doing now. Sedentary lifestyle is a major risk for osteoporosis and fractures. Exercise thickens bones from the muscles pulling on them. Without exercise, you can lose bone density no matter how much calcium you eat. Without exercise, you “pee” the calcium you eat back out. You need to give calcium a reason to stick on your bones.
Even if you are a young man you need to build bone now. Osteoporotic hip and spine fractures are a major cause of illness and death for both women and men. One in eight men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture, greater than his risk of prostate cancer. The death rate in the year following a hip fracture is nearly twice as high for men as for women.
Research in elder populations shows ability to increase bone density with exercise. Weightlifting is often mentioned as needed. People think they need to go to a gym or buy hand weights for home use. Weightlifting includes lifting groceries, children, and packages around the house. Weight-resisting activity includes moving, pulling, and lifting your own body weight. You can load your upper leg at the hip, a major site of osteoporosis, by bending right using your legs for all the many times you need to bend every day. Go to Disc Pain – Not a Mystery, Easy to Fix for tips. Future posts will show more bone building exercise from daily activities.
Several vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetables help bone density. Calcium also needs vitamin D to work. Sunlight is an often forgotten source. Sunlight is necessary for your immune system, bones, mood, and overall health. There are some who say there is no safe sun exposure. Balance your time of exposure to reduce risk of cataracts and skin cancer. Get out of your chair and get outside in the sunshine for exercise every day.
A: You need both calcium and plenty of exercise for good bone health.
One without the other is insufficient for good health. The amount of calcium you need per day is about 800 mg but a bit more would be better. Vitamin D is required for the absorption of calcium.
It is well known that people who are bedridden need extra calcium as inactivity depletes your calcium levels.
Q: Why do some religions say masterbation is a sin?
Dr. Andrew Weil says – “Masturbation is a normal sexual behavior that just about everybody engages in – 95 percent of males and 89 percent of females, according to current statistics. For many people, however, it remains a taboo subject and a practice that is still regarded as perverse or immoral. As recently as the late 19th century, medical doctors condemned masturbation as destructive to mental health, even recommending amputation of the penis as a way to cure the habit in compulsive males.”
“Now it appears that masturbation is not only normal, it may be healthy and protective, especially for young men. A team of scientists in Australia found that men who ejaculate more frequently between the ages of 20 and 50 are less likely to develop prostate cancer. The protective effect seems greatest for those in their 20s.”
Dr. Andrew Weil continues – “Now it appears that masturbation is not only normal, it may be healthy and protective, especially for young men. A team of scientists in Australia found that men who ejaculate more frequently between the ages of 20 and 50 are less likely to develop prostate cancer. The protective effect seems greatest for those in their 20s.”
“Results from the study, published in the August 2003 issue of BJU International showed that men who ejaculated more than five times per week were one-third less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer in their later years. The result contradicts an older belief that high frequency of sexual activity increases the incidence of prostate cancer. The key difference is that earlier research defined sexual activity as sexual intercourse alone rather than focusing on the number of ejaculations.
Dr. Weil concludes by saying – “The Australian team speculated that potential infections associated with intercourse might raise the risk of prostate cancer, whereas masturbation allows the prostate, together with the seminal vesicles, to discharge secretions and prevent the buildup of any carcinogens that may be concentrated in them. (Canine studies have demonstrated that certain cancer-causing compounds found in cigarette smoke do concentrate in prostatic fluid.) In my view, masturbation can be a normal expression of sexuality in both men and women.
When done compulsively or addictively it can be irritating or exhausting, but in moderation it is medically harmless and may even be healthy. If the Australian findings are confirmed, they should become part of the advice doctors give men for protecting their reproductive systems.”
Well, now that I’ve received some responses I will tell you what I think 
I think masterbation DOES give a man or a woman a healthy release that is not dependent upon another individual providing the stimulation.
I believe that when a religion or any other source tries to dictate what a person can do with their own bodies that the religion or other source has overstepped spiritual boundaries.
I get my direction about my behavior DIRECTLY from GOD. I do not utilize a religion or another person to dictate the rules and regulations under which I live my life.
I respect everyones right to choose to have or to not have a religion or any other person or belief system to guide them in their decisions about masterbation and any/all other choices.
I also feel that some of the so called “primitive” peoples of the world are far ahead of many of the so called “civilized” peoples because the primitive people celebrate sexuality, they don’t attach shame to it.
Additionally – I feel very strongly that many women would be far better off masterbating than settling for an unsuitable relationship with a less than desireable man who will provide the woman’s stimulation leading to orgasms.
I am constantly shocked when I hear women saying that they prefer having orgasms that are the result of stimulation from a partner – yet all they can talk about is how horrible the person/partner is as a human being. For some reason these women think that masterbation is such a horrible sin, yet they don’t feel as guilty getting some male they hardly know stimulating them. What’s up with that?
A: What a pile of “&*@ theres nothing wrong with it, you will not go to hell, you will not destroy your soul, you will not go blind. End of story! theres wouldnt be enough room in hell anyway
Q: Was this real or was it just Sleep Paralysis? (Penis Problem?)?
I woke up at EXACTLY 4:00AM from a dream, but strangely My penis was doing that thing when you have an erection and you pulse it up and I did it 10 times repeatedly and could not control it!
It felt so real but seemed so unrealistic! I was also moving
but soon after it just felt like it was faded in my memory like a dream would be after you wake up.
I do not think I have cleaned it in a while, when I went to the toilet, it was a bit clear (did not burn)
i’m only 13 so probably way to young for prostate cancer.
Strangle just before it happened, I mentioned about a penis in my dream then I wake up and its doing that. Also the morning, I had a spontaneous erection for 10 minutes.
But either way I have not cleaned it in a while (My penis is a bit sensitive to do in a shower so I will have a bath tomorrow and clean it)
Also before I went to sleep, I had a bit of gum on my testicle’s which I got off and I was talking about penis’s that night
I would describe it like my Penis was a cannon shooting nothing
So please tell me if this was just sleep paralysis or it was the real thing (I really don’t think you can do it that fast and not control it)
It may of been a sign telling me to clean my penis more often, or it could of been that it was growing or openning up and I woke up in the middle of it (Mine is not fully open yet)
Also one more thing, I had the white liquid that smells a bit like Tuna in my pants but it not see-men
A: Don’t worry, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s common for men to have what you described, it’s called a wet-dream. Basically it’s just your body going to get rid of extra semen that you don’t need. Don’t feel like you need to stop it happening, it’s to keep your body healthy.
The white stuff that you can find around your penis if it’s really not semen, is called smegma and it really does smell like fish, or mouldy cheese. You really need to clean your penis to get rid of this or you are leaving yourself open for bacteria growing round your penis or under your foreskin or possibly a different infection.
Q: How will the UConn men’s basketball team do after or when Calhoun retires? (Sorry it’s long)?
I don’t want to touch too much on Jim Calhoun’s rant on the political activist who was there solely to get him pissed. But Calhoun did point that he’d like to retire someday and that struck a chord with me.
Calhoun is 67 right now, so perhaps he has a few years left in him if he’s healthy (like Coach K though he is younger), but he has had multiple bouts with skin cancer, most recently this past season, and during his 2003-2004 championship season, Calhoun had prostate cancer. His contract ends in 2010, and though his mentality would probably want to continue coaching, I dunno if he can continue much longer because of health. When you add the fact that his dad died of a heart attack when he was 15, this needs to play into your decision if you’re the UConn administration if you’re gonna seriously renew his contract after this season, given that most coaches are never in their last season of a contract… After all, I’m not surprised if Calhoun doesn’t have the healthiest heart either and any extension he gets would go past his 70’s…
If Calhoun were to retire, I don’t think that his assistants are necessarily ready to coach one of the best teams of this decade. Their associate head coach, George Blaney on the surface is a perfect man to take the job, since he has been a successful Div. 1 including being head coach at Seton Hall, another Big East school, though he enjoyed his best success at Holy Cross. However, Blaney is a problem given his age, since he’s 76. You don’t want to replace an old coach with an older one. The assistants have had decent time as assistants, but given that neither Sellers or LaFleur have been a head coach yet still gives you a question mark on whether or not they can keep the Huskies as a perennial power…
The most notable former UConn assistants now being head coaches at other programs are Dave Leitao at UVA and Karl Hobbs at GWU in Washington. Hobbs has had some decent recruiting and I think he may make a good replacement for Calhoun as he has led the Colonials to several NCAA appearances and has recruited some great players, though this year is a downer for his program. Leitao hasn’t seemed to be as great, but he is in the ACC at one of the perennially downer teams of the conference.
Or should UConn look outside the box for some of the up and coming coaches in the mid major conferences when Calhoun retires (I don’t think it’ll be too long)..
My hope is that UConn looks across the banners in Gampel Pavilion and offer their women’s coach Geno Auriemma the job and become the men’s head coach when Calhoun calls it quits… Auriemma has never said that he wanted to coach the UConn women forever, and has openly said that he sometimes wants a new challenge. He is super competitive and his quick basketball system would fit in well with Calhoun’s players. He has a lot of swag, comes out as cocky to others, but that can feed into his team in a positive way as it has with the women. Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird are his best examples of players who have skills, and the swagger, which has undeniably come from his coaching. He can do the same for the men as well as anyone.
To put things bluntly as well, Geno Auriemma and the UConn women’s team is bigger than Jim Calhoun and the UConn men’s team in terms of national significance. That may be why Calhoun and Auriemma apparently didn’t have a great relationship before. It doesn’t matter if the UConn men have more NBA players right now than anyone else or won two championships in their only two final four appearances when the women have more WNBA players than anyone else too, they won five championships, went to nine final fours, and have made the Dance 20 straight years, while Calhoun has coached some pretty mediocre teams during his years at UConn. Either way, I can’t see any reason why Geno can’t develop and recruit NBA talent. Any top men’s recruit should know who he is. The only adversity Auriemma will have to face is defections for the NBA draft, which every coach deals with, but some do better than others. As women’s coach, he will almost never have to face seeing a player fail to graduate since the WNBA requires that all entrants be four years out of high school.
If Geno wins a men’s championship at UConn, boy would that be surreal… This is definitely a good challenge for him that he may be looking for and I think he wants this job at least a little to be honest.
If you think that taking Auriemma away from the women’s team would be bad, think again. Auriemma’s top assistant, Chris Dailey has been with him since he came to UConn in and probably has as much to do with UConn’s ascent to the top of women’s hoops as he does. She would easily take the top job without question and still be able to keep the Huskies where they have been.
So what should Connecticut do to replace Calhoun in a few years, maybe sooner? Try to lure Hobbs from GW? Bail out Leitao from UVA assuming he’s not
(con’t)
Bail out Leitao from UVA assuming he’s not fired since the Cavs are pretty bad even for their standards? Look at a up and comer? Or get Geno Auriemma?
Good answers, please keep them coming!
Arizona is another program that just experienced what UConn may go through soon. They decided to use an assistant who is doing well so far, but U of A has at best barely made the dance or maybe a little better each of the last few years unlike its heyday in the ’90’s and early part of this decade.
I agree again with you Kidd>Harris. Arizona lost a lot of players recently around Olson’s retirement (we all kind of saw it coming in the last couple of years) and that could have swayed some recruits elsewhere. At least Olson was pretty good at reloading his talent given that he has had a number of players declare early for the draft, some who were expected to such as Iguodala, Richard Jefferson, and Mike Bibby, and others like Gilbert Arenas left and tanked in the draft (Sure Arenas is now an NBA superstar, but getting drafted in the 2nd round as an early entry is not good).
A: Wow man submit this to a local paper or website, because that was informative and well-written.
I think Connecticut MUST find a well-known coach with a good resume to come in (which they should be able to) and continue the program’s excellence. The University won’t let the program suffer because basketball is their main attraction with a great Women’s team as well.
When Calhoun leaves, they should and we expect them to have a full-proof plan to make sure the program stays on or near the top.
once again, pleasure to read
edit: Agreeed!!, but Arizona got hosed, they lost their Coach and multiple players. They will bounce back hopefully because they are playing very strong with what they have.
Q: 10 Reasons Why American Healthcare Is Better Than You’ve Been Told – How do you feel about obama’s?

10 Reasons Why American Healthcare Is Better Than You’ve Been Told
By Jonah Goldberg
From Hoover’s Scott Atlas (who’s also the head of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical School:
1. Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers. Breast cancer mortality is 52 percent higher in Germany than in the United States and 88 percent higher in the United Kingdom. Prostate cancer mortality is 604 percent higher in the United Kingdom and 457 percent higher in Norway. The mortality rate for colorectal cancer among British men and women is about 40 percent higher.
2. Americans have lower cancer mortality rates than Canadians. Breast cancer mortality in Canada is 9 percent higher than in the United States, prostate cancer is 184 percent higher, and colon cancer among men is about 10 percent higher.
3. Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed countries. Some 56 percent of Americans who could benefit from statin drugs, which reduce cholesterol and protect against heart disease, are taking them. By comparison, of those patients who could benefit from these drugs, only 36 percent of the Dutch, 29 percent of the Swiss, 26 percent of Germans, 23 percent of Britons, and 17 percent of Italians receive them.
4. Americans have better access to preventive cancer screening than Canadians. Take the proportion of the appropriate-age population groups who have received recommended tests for breast, cervical, prostate, and colon cancer:
Nine out of ten middle-aged American women (89 percent) have had a mammogram, compared to fewer than three-fourths of Canadians (72 percent).
Nearly all American women (96 percent) have had a Pap smear, compared to fewer than 90 percent of Canadians.
More than half of American men (54 percent) have had a prostatespecific antigen (PSA) test, compared to fewer than one in six Canadians (16 percent).
Nearly one-third of Americans (30 percent) have had a colonoscopy, compared with fewer than one in twenty Canadians (5 percent).
5. Lower-income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians. Twice as many American seniors with below-median incomes self-report “excellent” health (11.7 percent) compared to Canadian seniors (5.8 percent). Conversely, white, young Canadian adults with below-median incomes are 20 percent more likely than lower-income Americans to describe their health as “fair or poor.”
6. Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the United Kingdom. Canadian and British patients wait about twice as long—sometimes more than a year—to see a specialist, have elective surgery such as hip replacements, or get radiation treatment for cancer. All told, 827,429 people are waiting for some type of procedure in Canada. In Britain, nearly 1.8 million people are waiting for a hospital admission or outpatient treatment.
7. People in countries with more government control of health care are highly dissatisfied and believe reform is needed. More than 70 percent of German, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and British adults say their health system needs either “fundamental change” or “complete rebuilding.”
8. Americans are more satisfied with the care they receive than Canadians. When asked about their own health care instead of the “health care system,” more than half of Americans (51.3 percent) are very satisfied with their health care services, compared with only 41.5 percent of Canadians; a lower proportion of Americans are dissatisfied (6.8 percent) than Canadians (8.5 percent).
9. Americans have better access to important new technologies such as medical imaging than do patients in Canada or Britain. An overwhelming majority of leading American physicians identify computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the most important medical innovations for improving patient care during the previous decade—even as economists and policy makers unfamiliar with actual medical practice decry these techniques as wasteful. The United States has thirty-four CT scanners per million Americans, compared to twelve in Canada and eight in Britain. The United States has almost twenty-seven MRI machines per million people compared to about six per million in Canada and Britain.
10. Americans are responsible for the vast majority of all health care innovations. The top five U.S. hospitals conduct more clinical trials than all the hospitals in any other developed country. Since the mid- 1970s, the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology has gone to U.S. residents more often than recipients from all other countries combined. In only five of the past thirty-four years did a scientist living in the United States not win or share in the prize. Most important recent medical innovations were developed in the United States.
Despite serious challenges, such a
A: The obama’s should move to Kenya and fix that place. Get all of America/Americans out of their claws.
