Q: Can specific exercises improve urine flow in men?
I’m 62 and have BPH but no sign of prostate cancer. I’m taking Flomax but I still have weak urine flow and some dripping after. Are there exercise that can strengthen urine flow and emptying?

A: Nope. You can do Kegal exercises, but they won’t help with the flow. They may help with the drip.

Slow flow when urinating is caused by a constriction of your urethra by your prostate. Flowmax helps, but only a little. Other drugs are used to shrink the prostate, but they have side affects. If drugs cannot help, then surgery is warranted. I had HoLAP surgery and I now pee like a 20 year old!

Q: NHS denying prostate cancer victims help?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=EJ1RZNWUDEEGPQFIQMGCFF4AVCBQUIV0?xml=/news/2007/12/16/ncancer116.xml

In the U.K., the NHS (National Health Services) has denied Hifu (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to victims of prostate cancer.

The U-turn comes despite the research published last month in the European Journal of Urology which found that _eight_ out of 10 men were healthy five years after being treated with Hifu.

The groundbreaking ultrasound therapy has been shown to kill _nine_ out of 10 prostate tumours, and five years after treatment, 80 per cent of patients show no sign of the cancer recurring.

Good point mattcy… I knew I’d forgotten something in that.

So my question is:

How do *you* feel knowing that men are being killed off when a treatment is available that could save their lives?

OK, so it may not affect all of you (e.g. those in another country) but if you were in England, or had a very close relative (Brother, Father, Uncle, Nephew, etc.) who did live here – would you think it ok that the UK government spend endless amounts of money on Breast cancer – but won’t give a proven treatment to men?

Thoughts..?

A: As a Man I am appalled. As a Nurse I am disgusted. As a Human Being I am ashamed of my entire species for the way in which ‘Men’s Health’ issues are allowed to be ignored, and the way some members of our society profit from the promotion of ‘Women’s Heath’ projects at the expense of men.
If I were to tell you that only 1/9 th of 1 cent out of every $100.00 raised for cancer research is spent on all three of the “Male Gender Specific Cancers” (Prostate, Penile and Testicular) people would think that I was mad. More men die each year from prostate cancer than do women from Breast Cancer, yet the ‘women’s movement’ only gives support to this issue when it is ‘politically expedient’ for them to do so. How many companies sponsor ‘Breast Cancer’ related research and detection programs, yet turn a blind eye to the needs of men? I once commented the men’s health was a feminist issue, and was laughed at. Go figure.

Q: Does Hillary Laugh While Your Dad/Son Dies of Prostate Cancer?
Breast cancer research gets 10 times as much money as prostate cancer research.

Yet, 1/2 as many men will die from PC as women will die of BC.

Have you heard any female congresswomen fight for the men in their lives? Why NOT?????

Is that a sick sign of our culture?
captain… men die from PC and women in Congress ignore it. Why? Sexist? Hate of men or what?

A: cancer research is NOT mutually exclusive – a cure in breast cancer will lead to great strides in finding a cure for PC

Please don’t politicize cancer in this way

Q: Prostate cancer?
I have, for about 3 or 4 years now had the problem of not being able to empty my bladder fully every time I go to the toilet. I have to basicly, go back and finish off minutes later. Over a year a go I thought I should get a proper opinion and went to see a specialist. He examond my penis, also took a urine sample. When the test came back he said it was just that my prostate was a bit tight but no need to be alarmed. He said to see for certain they could check by sticking a camera up through my penis. I basicly said no I cant have that and thought he thinks its fine and went on my way. Now I am worried after reading that protate cancer is a big killer in men and,as you get older it is increased risk. Since I am having trouble with mine at 23-27yrs old, is this a bad sign? Or should I not worry cos the specialist didn`t from my sample?
One more thing. The specailist told me that when I feel I need to go for a “Number 2″ i should go straight away. I should never wait. Why is this?

A: If you are concerned about prostate cancer, you need to request a PSA blood test. Also, an enlarged prostate can be determined by a simple 10 second digital rectal exam. Request these of your doctor, and if he does not comply, find another physician.

Q: please explain the problem of the following article, please!?
A diagnosis of prostate cancer is scary enough. But just as scary is that nobody can tell a man the best way to treat it.

This month, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality issued a sweeping review of prostate cancer treatments, including surgical removal, radiation, hormone therapy and so-called watchful waiting, which involves careful monitoring but no active treatment until the cancer shows signs of growing.

Because none of these treatments emerged as superior, the agency came to the troubling conclusion that it could not recommend one over the others.

“Having been involved in this area for a long time, it was not shocking, but it is disappointing,” said Dr. Timothy J. Wilt, lead researcher on the report, from the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Center for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research. “Information is really lacking to determine whether over all one treatment is more effective and preferred.”

Prostate cancer is the single most common cancer in the United States and the second most lethal among men after lung cancer. In 2008, the American Cancer Society estimates, 186,320 men will learn that they have it and 28,660 will die from it. The estimates for breast cancer are 182,460 and 40,480.

Prostate cancer is often diagnosed with a blood test that looks for prostate-specific antigen, P.S.A. There is widespread consensus that the test casts too wide a net, resulting in overdiagnosis and overtreatment. And the treatment can be devastating, leaving men impotent, incontinent or both.

The reasons behind the lack of data on prostate cancer are complex. A lack of financing and advocacy have roles. But so does the fact that prostate tumors grow slowly and can take 10 or more years to turn deadly. Not only does that make the disease particularly expensive and time consuming to study, but it is also a built-in disincentive for the drug industry, which typically has patent protection from 7 to 20 years.

A bigger obstacle to finding answers may be the patients, who have long been reluctant to participate in clinical trials, and their doctors, who tend to scorn such trials because they are already convinced that their chosen treatment is the best option.

One major clinical trial called Spirit, for Surgical Prostatectomy Versus Interstitial Radiation Intervention Trial, would have compared surgical removal with brachytherapy, which involves implanting radioactive seeds. Just 56 of the 1,980 needed patients enrolled, and the trial was called off in 2004.

“Men don’t go into the clinical trials,” said Dr. Daniel P. Petrylak, associate professor of medicine and director of the genitourinary oncology program at the Columbia University Medical Center. “That’s the whole problem. Patients ask me all the time, ‘What is the best treatment?’ And I can’t give them an evidence-based approach for that, because we don’t have the data.”

Prostate doctors and patient advocates often compare their cause with that of the other leading sex-specific cancer: one of the largest prostate cancer support groups is called Us Too, a play on the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. The dismal state of prostate cancer research and advocacy pales in comparison to the campaign against breast cancer.

“We’re at least a decade behind where breast cancer awareness is,” Thomas Kirk, president of Us Too, said. “We need to catch up. The lessons learned by breast cancer are the ones we’re trying to apply to prostate cancer.”

Prostate cancer groups have tried to replicate the success of the pink ribbon campaign with their own blue ribbon, but it has yet to gain widespread acceptance. A group advocating the development of imaging technology for prostate screening created a mascot, Prosty the Spokesgland, complete with a theme song, to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman.” Not surprisingly, it has not caught on, either.

Government spending for prostate cancer lags, too. In 2007, the National Cancer Institute spent an estimated $551.1 million on breast cancer research and $305.6 million on prostate cancer. For 2008, the Defense Department, which has a history of supporting health research, has allocated $138 million for breast cancer and $80 million for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer researchers say the real problem is not so much financing as enlisting doctors and patients on board for clinical trials.

By 2010, men should have some answers from Pivot, the Prostate Cancer Intervention Versus Observation Trial, which is comparing surgical removal with watchful waiting. Results of studies looking at P.S.A. screening as well as the preventive benefits of the supplements vitamin E and selenium are also expected in a few years

A: the problem is finding the home-run marketing campaign

Prostate cancer researchers say the real problem is not so much financing as enlisting doctors and patients on board for clinical trials.

A: This article puzzles me. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last fall, and I had all kinds of options.

As for the PSA test casting a wide net, the doctors all admit that a high PSA test doesn’t represent cancer, and to the best of my knowledge, no one undergoes cancer treatment based on one PSA test; the tip-off for a closer look is called PSA acceleration, or a rapid change in the PSA.

My PSA jumped from 1.5 to a 2.3 in one year (I’m 55 and had an otherwise healthy prostate). My Dr scheduled a retest a few month down the road. When that test came back a tad higher, that triggered a reference to a urologist who did a biopsy, a pretty easy procedure. The biopsy contained cancer cells – pretty easy diagnosis.

For treatment options, I sought out 2 surgeons, a local one and one at John Hopkins. There is a lot of data out there, and I believe I was given enough information to make an informed decision (I’m an engineer by training). The choice was mine, and I elected to use the DiVinci robot. The survival rates, as well as recovery rates for other treatments are a matter of record.

While at John Hopkins, I was asked to partake in a study already underway to determine a better marker than a PSA – I agreed.

As for the holistic treatment, I have taken a supplement that contains 50 mcg of selenium and 400 IU of Vit E for probably 30 years or more. I also take Ginko (120 mg x2daily, and had taken Saw Palmetto) I sauna frequently, but have been sedentary of late.

A: In just one paragraph, the main idea is that men should learn all they can about the prostate gland, what its function is, signs of prostate problems and to have your doctor perform the necessary tests to rule out any problems or suppected problems.

Q: I feel like the biggest jerk in the world, What should I do?
Man I feel like a giant a**hole. I’ve always hated posers and tools, and everything but in class I was working with two seniors (kind of friends), and they saw a sign about colon cancer and asked me if I had it (jokingly), but I didn’t want to be quiet or awkward, and I didn’t want older kids to think I’m annoying or anything, but I said “no I have prostate cancer” only after I said this did I realize this was a horrible thing to say. I feel like I spat in the faces of families or people who died or survived prostate cancer, and that I should be repeatedly with a baseball bat or a crowbar or both. After I said this I realized I could’ve said a disease that isn’t deadly or offensive. And most of all, at the sake of making someone laugh, and trying to set up an image of myself in someone elses eyes, I became a tool, I beacme one of people whom I despised so much, and I need to feel better or something but I feel like such a d**k

A: there’s not much you can do.
you could tell the people you were talking to that you were just kidding.
but there is no need for a public apology.
the fact that you feel remorse is more that enough.
and no, it wasn’t a very nice thing to say. but you said it.
you cannot go back and change it.
so don’t dwell on it.
just keep going.
it’s okay, dude(:

Q: Are women “equal”? I don’t think so.?
If women are equal to men, why do they need:
alimony,
preferential/quota hiring
women’s sports (title IX – if they’re “equal” can’t they compete with the guys?)
Why aren’t they required to sign up for the draft?

Seems to me that divorce should result in property being split in proportion to who earned what (not 50-50), there should be NO alimony, and no preferential hiring.

Also, why the big deal over breast cancer – when prostate cancer kills 3x as many people?

Shouldn’t courts award custody to men ~50% of the time (instead of giving it to women 90% of the time?)

Why do we hear about “dead beat dads” when women who don’t get custody have a higher rate of non-payment?

If a woman slaps a man, should he slap her back?

And for all you folks who think men start domestic abuse, the REAL stats are that almost exactly 50% of the time, the woman hits first. So where are the battered shelters for men?

When will women give up their “protection” and truly be “equal”?
I was asked for cites.

This one will do for starters.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48895

The evidence is available for anyone who cares to look.

Of course, most women won’t, because they’re getting all the benefit – and paying none of the price.
For dufeses who don’t think the cite is “credible” – why don’t you do your own homework and demonstrate error?

I made a statement and was asked for a cite. I provided one. The response that the cite “isn’t credible” is BS. Find an opposing cite… if you can.

Fact is, this information is all over the web. I just picked the first cite that covered the ignorance of the person challenging my statement.

A: I know I’m gonna get tons of thumbs downs for this, but hear me out:

They won’t because men in general are stupid when it comes to women. Men have the power to write most of the laws but continuously choose to give women more power in areas that should be equal.

Think about it, when a cop pulls over a man for speeding, he usually gives him a ticket with no hesitation. A woman can almost kill some one on the road, but if she’s pretty enough, dainty enough, and convincing enough, the cop will let her go because she’s pretty. Because he could possibly get with her if they meet again. Because he doesn’t want to ruin the charm that happened. All stupid reasons to let her go but it happens all the time.

Or how about this…a 26 year old woman named Debra Lafave was a teacher who had sex with one of her 14 year old male students. She goes to court and gets no jail time. The lawyer even states “she’s too pretty to go to jail, it would be like feeding her to the sharks”. Even though attractive young guys get thrown in jail to be raped and killed every day with no remorse or care in the world from any one, and for simple crimes. And when men have sex with their students, they get 10, 20 40 or more years for it with no question. No ones saying, “awe, those guys are too pretty to go to jail”. It was a male lawyer who said the dumb statement above, and it was the judge who gave her no jail time. Very stupid.

If men and women would work together to be fair with each other, their would be equality, but both sides usually have some sort of agenda for the other depending on the person. And money is a big factor to why things aren’t truely equal as well.

Alright, now you can all rain down the thumbs downs. You know I love it.
