Hi Ravilio Casa and thanks for writing, from what you have shared with me I’m sorry but I would guess that your Father will probably pass away within two months.

Below is an excerpt which I think should answer all your questions. I hope this helps and I wish you the very best during the coming days and weeks. God Bless.

Preparing for Approaching Death

When a person enters the final stage of the dying process, two different dynamics are at work which are closely interrelated and interdependent. On the physical plane, the body begins the final process of shutting down, which will end when all the physical systems cease to function. Usually this is an orderly and undramatic progressive series of physical changes which are not medical emergencies requiring invasive interventions. These physical changes are a normal, natural way in which the body prepares itself to stop, and the most appropriate kinds of responses are comfort enhancing measures.

The other dynamic of the dying process at work is on the emotional-spiritual-mental plane, and is a different kind of process. The spirit of the dying person begins the final process of release from the body, its immediate environment, and all attachments. This release also tends to follow its own priorities, which may include the resolution of whatever is unfinished of a practical nature and reception of permission to “let go” from family members. These events are the normal, natural way in which the spirit prepares to move from this existence into the next dimension of life. The most appropriate kinds of responses to the emotional-spiritual-mental changes are those which support and encourage this release and transition.

My brother just recently got his blood test back from his PSA and it was at 50. Last year it was 4. I know that this is not good. Really what does it mean??Thanks for all info…I appreciate it!

It means that he really needs to follow up with his doc! PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen……and elevated PSA "could" indicate prostrate cancer……..please note COULD! Definitely needs to follow up on this though!

Okay I have been highly stressing over this for the past week. I have come a long way from my initial question as to whats wrong with me. To some up I am a body builder. I use all types of supplements, for the past 3 months I was on Testosterone boosters, not to be confused with anabolic steriods. They naturally raise Testosterone levels, then in the past month and a half I got on pro hormone which is basically a naturally occuring compound that converts to a small amount of an anabolic steriod. The entire month and a half I had no symptoms at all. For the end of the cycle I used a "designer anabolic" called dymethazine for about 2 weeks I had no negative side effects only great strenght\size gains. About last Wednesday I noticed that at the end of urinating I had a slight burn only for a second. Then last thursday I began to urinate very frequently and was up almost all night uriniating and it didn’t feel like my bladder was empty. I immediately got off all the supplements and went to get a Prostate Health formula from the vitamin store containing saw palmetto, pygmeium, pumpkin seed extract, etc. So in order to prevent estrogen rebound men take natural testosterone boosters to restart there natural testosterone product called Post cycle therapy. So the only supplements I use are a natural testosterone booster and this prostate health formula. The next day I noticed a slight burn while urinating just one time. My urine was a much darker color. So I took an over the counter UTI test and tested negative. As the past week went on my symptoms started to subside I noticed a little lower back pressure nothing painful. I did a lot of research looking up Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostatitis and am wondering what I have. the past week with the exception of last night I slept pretty sound and my urination is strong flowing again. Last night worried me a bit I urinated a lot but I felt relieved every time, a lot of urine came out so its not like it was only dribbling. This morning after sex I noticed my semen was thicker and slightly clumpy. The worst symptoms are gone but I have no insurance can anyone shed some insight please.
Okay Anon, I am aware there are several types of Prostatitis does mine sound like the acute bacterial prostatitis or because mine was flared up from hormonal changes what options do I have?
Well I don’t have insurance or a Job thanks to downsizeing so I’m currently unemployed and very low on money. I know there is a walk in clinic around but I don’t know if they can test me for all the signs being they are a walk in clinic I don’t know what resources they have. The earliest I can go is monday of next week can anyone suggest anything for the frequent urination until I try to see a doctor

It could be a slight case of prostatitis. I recently had similar symptoms. The frequent nightly urination stopped for me, but I still went a lot during the day and my seminal fluids were thick, clumpy, and had a yellowish tint to it. If you think it is starting to get better, give it another week or so. If you still have symptoms make an appointment to see a urologist. He can do some tests to see what the problem was. In my case I had signs of prostatitis and my prostate had some inflammation. He prescribed me some antibiotics and it cleared me right up. hope this helps.

Take a look at the site below which explains many misunderstood things about the cancer industry, and has some natural cures too.

i was told he would get a blood test with a psa search but i have no idea what it means

The first test is indeed called PSA = prostatic specific antigen. It is a screen test, generally a prostate examination , just with a rectal exam is done together with this test.

It is a screen test and gives a lot of false positives, as the level is also raised in PBH = benign prostatic hypertrophy. It also occasionally gives false negatives, i.e. it can be normal in patients with prostate cancer, so the result alone needs to be viewed with caution.

The test is currently used for routine screening ( all men over 40 get the test a bit like cervical screening ) in US but not in UK where doctors have concerns about its reliability and indeed are sometimes unsure how to proceed if the test result is a low positive.

benign prostatic hyperplasia

I don’t understand what you mean by grade either, but there is no reason to do a biopsy to diagnose BPH. What really matters is how much the symptoms bother you and treatment is not always easy. Be sure to see a urologist for this do not rely on your primary care physician.

The urologist carried out an internal examination and said the bladder was "pristine"and could find no reason except that radiotherapy affects people in different ways. Will I just have to accept this. I do not take painkillers as I am worried about long term effects.

I would go and see your doctor and talk to him/her about your problem before taking any pain killers..as there maybe an under lying problem,they maybe able to give you advice what you should do.I’m not trying to scare you but..you are better to talk with your doctor.

Prostate cancer is related to heredity, diet, and ethnicity. And sometimes it just happens without any obvious risk factors.

Most commonly, it’s discovered as part of a routine physical exam. In most cases, diagnosis precedes the appearance of any clinical symptoms. Advanced cases of prostate cancer may be accomanied by disruption of urinary or sexual functions. Once the cancer metastasizes, it tends to lodge in bone, especially in the spine and pelvic areas. In the final stages, the cancer weakens bones, causing spontaneous fractures progressing to painful failure of the skeletal system.

Restored Balance Products Prostate Care Progesterone Cream for Men Restored Balance Prostate Care Cream 2oz – 17.95 & Free Shipping According to Dr. John R. Lee (He is the pioneer of using Natural Progesterone cream for women), it is falling progesterone level in aging men that leads to a fall in testosterone levels. As the testosterone levels fall, the effect of estradiol increases, leading to Estrogen Dominence. Estradiol (the most powerful Estrogen) promotes the onco (cancer) gene, Bcl-2, while progesterone promotes the protective gene known as p53 which slows cell apoptosis. Evidence exists to show that prostate hypertrophy and prostate cancer are correlated with the condition of estradiol dominance. Dr. Lee, Dr. Eckhart, Dr. Maher, Dr. Hanley and Dr.Pensanti believe that it is excessive exposure to estrogen that is the primary cause of prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Xenoestrogens in the environment are among the culprits. While estrogen dominance raises the risk of prostate cancer, natural progesterone helps prevent it. Natural progesterone will balance this estrogen dominance. Progesterone is also a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor — it helps prevent the conversion of testosterone into DHT which is thought to contribute to prostate enlargement. What “Modern” medicine has to offer you if you have prostate enlargement are drugs and surgery that are only sometimes effective and often have side effects such as impotence, urinary dysfunction (for surgery, these side effects are permanent), decreased libido, breast enlargement and expense ($2/pill for Proscar). Natural approach to a healthy prostate gland is preferable if you are a man over the age of 50. _____________________________________________________ The most common problem associated with the prostate is enlargement of the prostate itself. This results in a narrowing of the urethra and can lead to many different urinary problems including the need to urinate three to four times a night, trouble in

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland which forms part of the male reproductive system. It is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, and surrounds the urethra, thus affecting the normal flow of urine. Scientists are still researching the prostate’s complete function,&nbsp

Other than the PSA test which I am familiar with, does anyone know if there is any particular Blood Tests that can be run to give an indication the Cancer is present if any of a number of Organs or Body Systems or other tissue?

Please advise!

Thanks!

Only a biopsy can definitively provide a cancer diagnosis.

Some blood tests can be used as indicators. These are done by looking for levels of antigens specific to the cancer.

CEA – carcinoembryonic antigen for colon and other cancers
PSA – prostate specific antigen for prostate cancer

Abnormal blood counts can be an indicator for leukemia or other cancer.

Abnormal levels of certain chemicals can be used as an indicator for further investigation too.

A. Cryptorchidism C. Benign prostatic hyperplasia
B. Hypogonadism D. Bulbourethritis

B is the correct answer.
Send us another question and we’ll have your homework done in no time flat.

My father has been diagnosised with High Grade Invasive Bladder Cancer which has penitrated the muscle and spread to the Prostate. I know for sure that it has affected one of the Large Lymph Nodes in the surrounding area.
I’m not certain of the Stage at this time. The surgeon has said that it could be a high 2-3 or 4…
They did not do any radical surgery or cutting, as they did everything microscopic through his genitals. They removed part of the tumor from his bladder but were unable to get it all.
He has a stint attatched to the Kidney with a tube that runs to the Bladder which also has a stint attatched, this way he is able to urinate with ease.
The tumor inside the bladder is so large that it was blocking the flow of urine.
He is undergoing Radiation 5 days a week at 15 minutes a session.. he will have 30 treatments.
They do not recommend Chemo, as they feel he would not be able to withstand it’s effects.
He is 88 years old and has been in perfect health.

I have not gone through this myself, but it is my job to report and stage cancer. If the tumor invades the prostate and there is a positive node then it is a stage 4. I’m not exactly sure what your question is, but I hope this helps.

i have two symptoms of prostate cancer they are dribbling after peeing and i need to urinate more often but im 16 should i be worried and go to the doctor?

It is beyond unlikely that you have prostate cancer. It’s extremely rare in men under 50, and so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35.

Over 80% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75.

Hello Everyone,

If your doctor has determined that you do NOT have prostate cancer, but have a large prostate, what causes this to happen in the first place? I am aware that frequent urination is a main sign of an enlarged prostate, but what causes the prostate to grow in the first place?

Jeff

Which medication is more effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern hair loss: A detailed look into the 5 alpha reductase inhibitors?

The question mark should be placed after the words ‘hair loss’ and there should be a full stop at the end after inhibitors.

My uncle had prostate cancer. Others here have listed the symptoms, so I won’t repeat them. In my uncle, it was diagnosed as a result of his normal yearly physical.

His doctor told him that prostate cancer is very slow growing, but they could go in and remove it if he wanted. After asking a lot of questions, and the doctor telling him that at his age at the time (in his 70’s) that he would most likely die from heart problems or "natural causes" before he would die of the cancer, he decided not to do anything.

But the doctor was wrong in his case. He died 3 years later, as a result of the cancer.

It did grow slowly at first, but toward the end it went pretty quickly. His last year he began to have the common symptoms of advanced cancer, but by the last couple of months he was in a lot of pain and discomfort. He was in a hospice facility for about a month before his death so they could medicate him enough to relieve the pain.

Although it is considered a slow growing cancer, my personal opinion, after losing 4 family members to cancer (uterine, protstate, leukemia, and 1 unknown because it was so advanced there were tumors everywhere), and 1 who’s currently battling it (liver), is don’t be happy with that answer.

First, if you have not been diagnosed see a doctor ASAP before assuming you have it, and make sure whether or not you do. I say ASAP because every day earlier you catch cancer, the better your chances. If you have already been diagnosed, perhaps obtain a second opinion on whether you should seek treatment now rather than wait. My uncle’s children now say they wish he had gone ahead and had it removed when it was still contained in the prostate – because he might still be alive today.

The very best of luck to you (or whomever is going through this).

July is PSA awareness month. Men over 40 need to have a simple blood test. PSA levels that are high or that change drastically can be a warning indicator of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is easily treatable IF caught early!!!

This info is incredibly important. Absolutely have a PSA test done if you are over 40, and repeat the test every year from then on. If it rises significantly, like a half point or more, repeat the test and if the increase persists, discuss with your physician about having a biopsy. If you catch prostate cancer early, it if very treatable. If you catch it late, it can kill you. Enough said.

I have been checked for diabetes and I have no infections of any kind according to blood and urine samples yet I am going very frequently. I don’t have kidney stones either. My doctor says he is not worried about it, but something is causing me to go more than normal. I’m only 32 so prostate should be out of the question. Any suggestions?

Urinating too much liquid ("polyurea") needs to be distinguished from the slightly different symptoms of excessively frequent urination, urinary dribbling, or unusual urgency to urinate. Urinating too much fluid or urinating too often can indicate several serious medical conditions. Some possibilities include urinary tract infections, bladder conditions (e.g. interstitial cystitis), or prostate conditions (e.g. BPH). Also possible are metabolic conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, or diabetes insipidus. Seek prompt professional medical advice about urination symptoms

These are just a few diseases or infectios that could cause your problems. You did not say if you was drinking water excessively. If so maybe Diabetes Insipidus. Not related to diabetes….

None of the above. They may be symptoms of cancer once it spreads from the prostate to other areas. I had no symptoms and prostate cancer was detected as a result of annual physical and blood check for cholesterol. My PSA went from 1.5 to 4.5 in 12 months. Doctor ordered biopsies and cancer was detected in 1 of 12 areas. The Gleason score was 4+4=8 (aggressive tumor) I had the prostate removed a month later. They found cancer in the sections the biopsies missed.
I was 59 when it was removed. With no symptoms.

Nutritional Support For:• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (prostate enlargement) • Prostatitis • Prostate Cancer Protection Nearly 60% of men between the ages of 40 and 60 have an enlarged prostate gland, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The annual medical cost for BPH in the U.S. alone is over a billion dollars. Rectal examination usually discloses an enlarged prostate gland with a rubbery consistency. BPH is attributed to a buildup of testosterone in the prostate. Once inside the prostate, testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a powerful substance that stimulates the prostatic cells to multiply excessively. As the prostate enlarges it presses against the urethra, thus obstructing the flow of urine from the bladder.

How depressing. Over 40, single, unattractive, depressed, and you want me to LIVE? Alas, I get a physical every year. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll skip it now.

worth 10 points.

Make sure the loo is not too far away!

and also what is there to look out for and what do ur genitals start to look like. please dont make a joke of this

If you are at an age to be concerned about testicular cancer than you are too young to worry about prostate cancer.

Testicular cancer usually presents with a painless enlarged testicle, which almost always has a lump. It is not a very common cancer. The symptoms for prostate cancer are about the same for BPH and are not usually diagnosed due to symptoms as most men go for their screening exams.

I have been told that I have an enlarged prostate. I have had problems with it since my mid 20s. I am now only 28.
Should I get a tested regularly for cancer or should I not worry about that until I am older.
Please leave sources.
Thanks

All of that and still no answer to your question!

You are very young to have BPH so I understand your concern. Prostate cancer in older men do far better than younger men and young in prostate cancer terms is under 55. I’m sorry I don’t have a resource to send you to. I am answering based on my experience dealing with cancer cases everyday and having an ex-husband who is a urologist. It doesn’t hurt to be tested periodically so I would do it, but I wouldn’t spend time worrying about it either. You may want to consider clinical trials for young men with BPH. This way you will be followed closely by doctors who are very interested in prostate cancer and are researching it. This way if you should get it, especially if you are young, it gives you the best chance of overcoming it.

frequent/uncontrollable urination

Chronic urinary tract infection, bladder stones, and polyps can irritate the bladder and cause detrusor muscle instability, leading to urge incontinence. Detrusor muscle instability without a known cause is also common. It has been suggested that, in these cases, an unidentified dysfunction in muscle or nerve tissue is responsible.

I’m quite a hypercondriact and think that I have prostate cancer.

I have to go to the toilet about ten, eleven times a day (at an estimate), it takes me a while before the urine starts flowing and even then is stops and starts. Also, usually after taking a dump, my urinary bladder still feels full even though I’ve urinated.

I used to experience quite a bit of back pain, but *knock on wood* that seems to have stopped now.

I used to have HSP, and that interferes with kidneys. Is this the reason? Also, I am quite an anxious person (I take fluoxetine), does this trouble urinating just have to do with a shy bladder?

I’m scared and my parents don’t think that it is anything serious, because I’m far too young (15). Do I have it? I don’t want to go to a doctor and have a camera stuck up my butt.

Almost certainly not.

The biggest risk factor for prostate cancer is age. Over 80% of men diagnosed with it are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75.

Prostate cancer is so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35.

So probably not, eh?

But see a doctor for help with the problems you’re having

Male. 54 years of age. Showing signs of some sort of infection in the urinary area. Usual prostate symptoms. No cut and pastes thank you, I can do that myself. Personal experiences preferred and options.

A PSA above 10 increases your chance of cancer greatly. You already know your level,so I’m sure that your doctor has explained the prognosis and treatment. If not, I personally would find another doctor.

Your level is very high and you need to be treated at once.

Paramedic in SC

Hi elmo. I just did a ‘quick review’ of the medical literature on this issue on Pubmed/Medline. Several medical studies suggest a slight decreased risk of BPH in men who consume alcohol on a regular basis. Based on these studies it is not likely that red wine will help (serve as treatment) but a glass of red wine with dinner probably does no harm.

If the cancer is caught at its earliest stages, most men will not experience any symptoms. Some men, however, will experience symptoms that might indicate the presence of prostate cancer, including:

A need to urinate frequently, especially at night;
Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine;
Weak or interrupted flow of urine;
Painful or burning urination;
Difficulty in having an erection;
Painful ejaculation;
Blood in urine or semen; or
Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs.

i have planed on joining the army for as long as i can remember, the bad part is i might have to have my prostate removed not for cancer but for a re occurring bacterial infection that causes inflammation and is completely benign my question is can i still join the army even though i had that surgery, also i don’t plan on going into any infantry type job, im going to go into intelligence aspect of the army, does that matter?

Sounds like you have bacterial benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The surgeries to treat this often are done as an outpatient and involve enlarging the urethra opening through the prostate.

I just had the HoLAP procedure done. It was an outpatient surgery and I was quickly back at work (complete recovery in less than 3 months). There are other laser surgeries less invasive. These types of surgeries not probably no worse than having a wisdom tooth pulled. I cannot imagine that such a surgery would prevent you from serving. But, the best way to find out s to ask a recruiter.

It seems I have frequent urination problems only around my girlfriend. it is so strange. what can I do? A lot of it is stress related i think and anxiety over whether or not she is cheating. My prostate is healthy of course, and there is no other explanation. One doctor told me if she is cheating on me, the scent or pheramones of the other male may linger and be present with her causing me to sense the existence of the other male, causing both frequent urination or other psychological effects. If there is no other male present she could be very hormonal herself, menopause, pre-menopause, or I need psychiatric help. My question is, do humans react the same way to the scent of other males as animals do. Do we become more anxious, hypertensive and territorial -like with all the urination thing- seems crazy to me…

first off what ever doctor told you that crock of a story you do not need to go back to him. secondly your frequent urination could be most likely medically speaking, you could have a urinary track infection that you only seem to notice when you are with her and are associating your feelings of anixiety to that situation. however in any case i would seek a physician to get a order to have a urine test performed to rule out and infection, its not your prostate. and the only other likely item would be situational anxiety which would explain the frequent urination with her.

Prostate cancer is so rare in young men that there are no statistics available for the disease incidence in men under 35.

It’s extremely rare in men under 50; over 80% of men diagnosed with it are over 65 and half of all cases occur in men over 75.

Pain in your buttock is not a symptom of prostate cancer. How do you know you have a lump near your bladder?

If your symptoms persist, see your doctor. But prostate cancer isn’t looking likely, is it?

The prostate is a doughnut shaped gland located behind the pubic bone and below the bladder in males. It surrounds the neck of the bladder and the urethra, a small tubular structure that drains urine from the bladder to the penis.The prostate gland is a common site of disorders in the male genitourinary system.As men age, their prostate gland often enlarges. This condition is referred to as Benign Prostate Hypertrophy or BPH.Over 50% of American men will develop an enlarged prostate in their lifetime.Dieta ry supplementation of nutrients essential for prostate health have been shown to be effective in the relief of BPH.Cancer of the prostate is a common malignancy in American men, second only to skin cancer. In fact, nearly 200,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year.Dietary supplementation of the dietary nutrients IP-6, Quercetin and Lycopene have shown to be helpful when used for Prostate cancer.

Is there a common group that suffer from repeat prostatitis?

Men under 25 years hardly ever have BPH.It’s a disorder of the 5th-6th decade of life.
That said,however,Prostatitis is a different kettle of fish altogether.Retrograde ejaculation (such as occurs sometimes during furtive masturbation) and urethritis (either sexually transmitted or otherwise) have roles to play in the pathophysiology of Prostatitis.
These 2 factors are commoner in men between 18-35 years.

Prostate problems that cause straining to urinate (every time) and that causes him to sweat from pushing so hard) and frequent urination. He has all the symptoms of it. Stones have been ruled out as well as any type of infection. Thanks for any help.

Yes he will be going to the doctor next week. I just wanted to see what I could find out on here to ease his mind a little.

Anything is possible. But a trip to the urologist will be his best bet to figure it out.

Is it easy to find.?? What are its main advantages??. I read about it a lot but fail to recall the specific name of this blood test. I appreciate your help sincerely. Please inform me.

There are other PSA tests like the ultrasensitve PSA, and PSA free and total. These tests measure down to the hundredths the level of the antigen. Have you asked your doctor?

I have trouble starting urinating. I have microscopic blood in my urine. I have trouble emptying my bladder. I have pain in my lower back and pelvis.

The swollen prostate with all your symptoms does not necessarily mean you have cancer. The blood bothers me though. Please go see a good Urologist. He will do a biopsy on your prostate and will treat the enlarged gland. I have had all your symptoms as do 50% of Men over the age of 50. Check out the blood thing though.

I found this site http://prostatecancersymptoms.info

what I understood that prostate

Cancer have symptoms,did any one know if it have or not?

CANCER: On the news it was found that Swedish scientists found that human breast milks kills cancer in a petri dish. People who drink it have had some success in fighting off cancer.

You need a prescription and it’s not the cheapest thing to obtain, but it works.

It isn’t that frequent. Like I’m not getting up in the middle of the night or anything. I don’t think it is anything necessarily serious, especially since I am in my early 20’s. Is it a sign of a less-than-healthy prostate though? Should I be worried as I get older?
And it’s not Chlamydia. I’ve been tested for it in the past.

You say it isn’t that frequent ?? but it is obviously enough to concern you . It could be just a chill on your bladder of kidneys . I suggest you give it a week to settle down and if it is still an issue take a sample along to your doctor and ask for it to be tested for infection

What have you found to be the most effective remedy/treatment?

Question stimulated by the book Living With Lung and Colon Endometriosis: Catamenial Pneumothorax by Dr. Glynis D. Wallace
I asked this question after receiving letters complaining women are not receiving proper treatment & diagnosis for endometriosis because, “it is a non-cancerous woman’s disease”. THAT IS INCORRECT! It is because the disease was misunderstood and under diagnosed. www.catamenialpneumothorax.org

Yes I took Zoladex injections once a month for six months for endometriosis. It is also used to treat cervical cancer and prostate cancer. It is intense and difficult to handle most side effects.

Initial blood test showed a level of 7.0. After a month of antibiotics the level was down to 5.2. Following yet another month of antibiotics it was up to 7.2.
Is this a true case of cancer or just a stubborn infection which doesn’t want to die off? The urologist seems to be in WAY too much of a hurry to to the needle biopsy of the prostrate.
Speaking of which, what are the potential complications attached to a needle biopsy of the prostrate?

A PSA is a very reputable test for prostate cancer. Te lower the number the better. My Uncle started with 28 and with chemotherapy and Lupron shots, he is now down to 1.2

I’m 14 dis year and i realised recently that at night when I am about to sleep I would have dis feeling of going to de toilet to urine…however everytime i do that only a little bit of urine comes out, my urine is clear. I read an article that frequent urination at night is a symptom of prostate cancer, but does my case classify as frequent urination at night? I also have pain on de left side of my pelvis and it is below my belly button. Am i suffering from prostate cancer? I do not have any of the other symptoms though.

I REALLY DOUBT IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH CANCER MAYBE ITS JUST A PROSTATE PRBLEM BUT YOU SHOULD VISIT A DOCTOR…

My father is 65 and has metastatic prostate cancer. He’s taking calutide and zoladex monthly. Due to obstruction in urination for long time, we got his channel TURP surgery done last month. The urine flow was good for about 20 days. After that he felt slight decrease in urine flow. One morning suddenly there was full urine obstruction and we rushed him to hospital and got catheter inserted.
Doctor said that his prostate tissues have obstructed the urine channel in just one month which is rather unusual.

My question is:
- Can cancer tissues grow so fast in just 1 month after channel TURP? Every doctor mentioned it’s a relief for atleast few years.
- Catheter went inside with lot of difficulty and is not a permanent relief. Should we go for direct insertion of tube in urine bladder?

His gleason grade is 9. PSA is under 4 but showed slight increase from 1.96 to 2.4 approx.

Please see the webpages for more details on Transurethral resection of the prostate.
I am 69 years old and taking Alfuzosin hydrochloride (generic name) to shrink prostate gland. In some cases, TURP is not 100% successful and hence a second operation is done to remove the obstructive tissue.
