The first thing most people think of when they hear of the milk thistle plant is the milky sap that fills its stalks. In The 16th century, the plant was quite popular, with nearly all parts of the plant being eaten. The raw roots were often eaten plain, boiled or roasted, while the shoots were boiled as a vegetable. The leaves were often treated in a manner similar to spinach, and the spiny portion of the flower was eaten like an artichoke. Indeed, Early Christians even dedicated the plant to Mary, and referred to Milk Thistle as Marian Thistle. Today however, the plant`s seeds are what have better earned the claim to fame. For 2000 years they have been used to treat liver issues, and aid in protecting the liver from toxins, with increasing scientific research as to the therapeutic and medicinal properties. Today studies have reported that the seeds can be used to treat liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, toxin induced liver damage and gall bladder disorders. Milk Thistle seeds have also been shown to help reduce and eliminate liver damage. Outside of treating the liver, some studies have also shown that they can lower cholesterol levels and reduce insulin resistance for those with diabetes. In cancer treatments, some have shown that the seeds can reduce the growth of cancer cells in breast, cervical, and prostate cancers though further study is required in this matter. Milk Thistle seeds have also been shown promise in aiding with substance abuse, diminishing the withdrawal symptoms of opiate addiction This is a 2 oz packet of whole Milk Thistle seeds.

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. Dietary 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. Symptoms of benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancero

Green tea comes from the same plant as black tea: Camellia sinensis. The difference is that green tea is steamed after picking, but not fermented. The lack of fermentation allows green tea to retain a number of bioactive substances called polyphenols.1 The main classes of polyphenols are phenolic acids and flavonoids. Among the more abundant flavonoids are the catechins (pronunciation: KAT-eh-kins). In recent years green tea has attracted the attention of medical researchers who are exploring its therapeutic potential for the following conditions: cancers of the lung, liver, mouth, colon, rectum, bladder, stomach, pancreas, esophagus, prostate, and skin1,2 B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia3 high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, high blood sugar, and heart disease4,1 Parkinsons and Alzheimers diseases5,6 viral and bacterial infections7, including influenza8 tooth decay, bad breath9,10 The component of green tea that has generated the most interest is the catechin epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Many of the potential applications of green tea have been attributed to EGCGs antioxidant properties, but may actually involve other mechanisms.1 For example, EGCG is also a strong inhibitor of the enzyme telomerase that is required for tumor growth.11 Experiments have shown that EGCG and other ingredients in green tea can kill cancer cells while sparing (and even protecting) healthy cells.12 The concentrations of EGCG used in anti-cancer experiments have usually been higher than could be obtained in the body by the drinking of green tea.1 Green tea extracts that contain EGCG in concentrated form offer a practical way to

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

i think i have prostate cancer, my left bum check has been hurting for quite a while now,, and theres like a little lump near my bladder, it hurts once in a while. I’m scared…
and i though it was because i stand alot because i work long hours
will i die? i just had a circumcision too, due to phimosis,
im 15 years old.
well its near the side of the bladder like the edge, and and near the penis,

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?

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.

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.

I mean just in terms of general discomfort… not involving sticking hands up butts and feeling around.

See… I’ve got this interesting pain just a tiny bit northward of my groinal parts…. a rather inexplicable and temporary pain, but uncomfortable in an amusing sort of way regardless.

I know my family are rather prone to cancer… my mother’s father and my own father both having died of it… and since one in three people die of cancer at some point, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d go the same way (unless I voluntarily end myself before that).

I’m just wondering if pains in that region could indicate cancer at all or whether its just something else. It didn’t go away when I went for a p!ss… so its not bladder issues, I imagine…

Oh…. and no… I’m not going to see a doctor.
If it is cancer, I fully intend to just suffer it out to whatever end it may bring.
[Note to theists: life is not sacred... its an accident, and is fundamentally worthless, including mine.]
[Response to first answer]: I could counter your question by asking "Why not bother?" … I just want to know… thats all. I suppose for the same reason you might want to know what your brother’s girlfriend is like, assuming you have a brother with a girlfriend. Its just curiosity… plain and simple.
[Note to Dogzilla]: Pain for the most part is just a random sensation to me. I have been adapting to deconnect it from any emotional triggers… and so I don’t mind it any more. However, it is safe to say that having doctors fiddling with my parts would make me psychologically uncomfortable. As such the physical pain is generally the lesser of two evils (except when its particularly extreme, since the emotion-disconnection process isn’t perfected yet).
One might say I am taking the path to Nihilistic enlightenment….. or resolution of the self.

well, even if you DO see a doctor, it’s not like he can force you to receive treatment. i agree with you on the accidental, futile nature of life, but i figure, if i’m alive now, i might as well enjoy it as much as possible and have as fun and fulfilling a life as possible.

so if i were you, i’d go to the doctor. if it was something easily treatable that wouldn’t infringe on my life (such as a daily pill or something), i’d take the treatment. if i found out it was cancer, i’d just refuse treatment and enjoy the remainder of my life as much as possible.

i’m sure you agree when i say i’d rather have 6 months of good, functional living and then die, as opposed to spending 5 years on chemo, and finally dying miserably.

oh, and to really answer your question, i’m sorry, i have no idea what prostate cancer feels like, though i hear that since it causes your prostate to swell, it usually causes difficulty urinating, very frequent urinating, or painful urinating.

Guys I’m soo worried I have bladder cancer. I’ve had some tests done.. no sign of infection. I had an ultrasound and cytology done a couple of months ago and the ultrasound showed what they believe are kidney stones, but these tests aren’t accurate for diagnosing bladder cancer. Anyways I have symptoms that aren’t characteristic of kidney stones sitting in your kidneys. I have pain in my bladder a lot, pain in my bladder when I urinate, blood, frequency and now I have lower back pain. All my symptoms sort of come and go day to day. I’m freaking out I have bladder cancer or some kind of cancer.. maybe prostate or urethral. Can anyone give me any thoughts. I have a ct scan booked for 2 weeks and yes of course I’ve seen doctors.
just turned 26 years old. what a birthday.
been tested for std’s and all kinds of infection. its neither.. just for some extra info

You are absolutely correct when you say that some of these tests are inaccurate.My sister who was 47 was diagnosed with gall stones and it took weeks for her to get the surgery and it was then they discovered she had 3rd stage pancreatic cancer.Do yourself a favour and get that mri sooner rather than later to ensure a correct diagnosis. Hope it all goes well.

I always curl up near my waist over whatever, and don’t sit up straight.
I’m 13. Also i pee a lot and there is no blood. I have a bladder problem according to my doctor. I found a soar under my P**** but it doesn’t look cancerous. I have pain in my waist and legs, but I think it’s a muscle strain which one is it?

At your age, prostate cancer is highly unlikely. The sore on your penis has nothing to do with prostate cancer, either.

Here’s a list of symptoms that indicate the need for prostate cancer screening:

* A frequent need to urinate, especially at night.
* Difficulty starting or stopping the urinary stream.
* A weak or interrupted urinary stream.
* A painful or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation.
* Blood in urine or semen.

That you have already been diagnosed with a bladder problem, that takes care of the first three symptoms. Since you don’t have pain during urination, or have blood in your urine, prostate cancer looks even less likely.

Triple Defense is a unique combination of nutrients that may help the body in the fight against cancer. Various laboratory studies performed using ingredients found in Triple Defense have shown beneficial effects in breast, colon, skin, liver bladder and lung cancer. They suggest that these ingredients may also be beneficial in the relief and risk reduction of these cancers in humans. Human clinical studies are currently being conducted including a Phase I trial at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with women at high risk for breast cancer. This study is in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute at the National Institute for Health. Soy Isoflavones have exhibited properties that suggest they may help to lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and for the relief of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes. They may help reduce the risk of several types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, rectal and prostrate cancer. Calcium D-glucarate may enhance the bodys capacity to resist many types of carcinogens and toxins and has been shown to inhibit cancer in laboratory animals in over 30 published cancer research journals. One of the major detoxification pathways in our bodies is called glucoronidation. It is a chemical reaction where the body combines a water-soluble substance in the body with a toxin or carcinogen and removes it from the body. D-glucarate has been shown to inhibit the enzyme responsible for reversing glucoronidation, improving the likelihood that normal detoxification processes may continue. Lycopene is the most efficient scavenger of singlet oxygen of all the common carotenoids and is able to quench free radicals twice as efficiently as beta-carotene. Current research suggests that lycopenes powerful antioxidant activity confers a high degree of protection against cholesterol oxidation, a process believed to influence prostate cancer. By-products of the oxidation

My father was overtreated with radiation for prostate cancer and has suffered some serious side effects. The latest is a large defect in the inner wall of the rectum which connects to the bladder and continuously drains urine. Anyone with similar problems of urinary incontinence and or suggestions?
This is a sensitive issue,please be empathetic.

5 years ago I had seed implants for prostate cancer and only someone like you or your dad would believe the side effects I have experienced! There are doctors that occaisionally visit this site and they will be quick to say that the medical literature doesn’t support my blaming the seeds and the follow-up external beam radiation I was treated with for these side effects, HOWEVER: Before my treatments NONE of these conditions existed and withing 6 months of the treatments I developed:
1. A weight gain of over 70 pounds which I think was caused by the severe edema in both legs and feet I developed after the seed implants, which in turn may have caused -

2 Very painful neuropathy in both legs and feet AND:

3. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in both legs with a clot that made it to my lung (pulmonary embolism)

4. Total incontinence ( I can’t start it, stop it and I never know when I am going to excrete urine, so I wear Depends 24/7) and have a permanent supra pubic catheter with collection bag (3 years now).

The weight gain which I have been able to shed only 40 pounds of, I believe led to my diagnosis of type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes several months ago.

The weight gain also exacerbated my already existing arthritis in my knees and lower back plus the pubic catheter gives me a permanent "catheter infection" making surgery on my knees a no can do according to the orthopaedic surgeon.

The prostate never healed after the initial radiation procedures and the several subsequent procedures that were undertaken to try to fix the damage may have made the problems worse. I have sometimes scary episodes of blood in the catheter. There is also the discomfort of the :diapers" and the at least once every six weeks changing of the catheter.

End result of all this? I am rated 100% disabled and use a wheel chair. When the cancer was diagnosed I was phsyically able to do most anything within reason for a 60 year old.

My brother, who is 5 years older than me, had the same treatments performed at Johns Hopkins in Maryland and he is playing golf, walking 18 holes, three or four time a week!

Life is still good and I am doing my darndest to keep going. I have two new grand kids and a wonderful bunch of caring family and friends that make life worth while. But I have to admit, I never would have dreamed 5 years ago that I would be so excited about having a wheel chair lift mounted on the back of my car!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your dad. I know some of what you are going through and I sincerely hope you both are getting through it. It sounds to me as if your dad and me have two very important things in common – we are both still alive and we both have caring family.

This was very long and I hope there aren’t too many errors.

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?

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.

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.

a friend has had prostate cancer for about 8yrs. and it has sspread to his bladder 4 months ago.How much longer before this disease will take his life?He is 87 yrs.old

It all depends on the person and how bad it is and how strong the person is. My dad had prostate cancer for many many years and lived to be 90. They have very good treatments today.

I was told by my urologist I had severe bladder damage as a result of prostate cancer, however, the problems of severe incontinence did not exist prior to surgery.

my husband had the surgery so far with no complications. but from what i read, they have to cut alot of different things, nerves especially around ur bladder area.

Unicity Products Unicity Prostate TLC 120 Sgels – Free Shipping Prostate TLC is an innovative supplement that combines many of the best natural substances known to man for promoting prostate health, including an innovative blend of saw palmetto and astaxanthin. During a man’s lifetime, the prostate undergoes changes that can eventually lead to health challenges. For instance, prostate enlargement is a common condition that can cause urination problems and other discomforts, particularly in men over age 40. Fortunately, medical scientists have demonstrated that the prostate is responsive to nutritional substances, such as certain compounds in tomatoes. Prostate TLC is an innovative supplement that combines many of the best natural substances known to man for promoting prostate health.* The National Cancer Institute has reported that DHT (dihydro-testosterone), a form of testosterone, plays a role in prostate enlargement and is believed to be involved in the development of other prostate problems. Scientists believe prostate enlargement may be controlled by regulating levels of DHT. * Unicity’s Prostate TLC contains several remarkable ingredients that support prostate health. Alphastat is a patented compound that combines two ingredients (saw palmetto and astaxanthin) currently being studied for their effects on male prostate health, including DHT regulation. Other important ingredients in this formulation include lycopene, stinging nettle root, selenium, and pumpkin seed oil.* Research Brief The male prostate is essential in human reproduction. This walnut-sized structure surrounds the neck of the urethra and bladder and is regulated by testosterone and related hormones. The primary purpose of the prostate, which consists of both glandular and muscular tissue, is to release a substance that makes semen into a liquid. Tubes from the testicles carry sperm to the prostate, where the sperm are mixed with prostate and seminal vesicle fluids and then ejaculated through

both cancers have been only localized, doctors at first didnt know if it was a recurrence of prostate or bladder cancer, they say sometimes radiation causes it thx

Hi

Sorry for your recurrence.I got surgery for bladder cancer three years ago. No recurrence. Originally treated injecting bacteria in the bladder for six weeks to target the immune system intensive work the bladder.

Three of my sisters lost their fight with cancer. They went all the way with doctors recommendations (including prohibition use of natural treatments) and nothing. On my personal case, I will use a combination. Do your own search. Is YOUR life, and YOUR body… and you are not a Ginnie pig.

Boost your immune system naturally with (Noni, echinacia,cholostrum,etc) or whatever you prefer. I use 4life Transfer factors (the best of the best in my opinion-boost 427% with only two caps and in just two days). Search and try GRAVIOLA.

Hope this help.

normal PSA but they still dont know if its from prostate bladder or urether.. help
the cancer is being considered primary cancer not secondary: not a metastasis

if this person had prostate cancer three years ago and was treated and now the doctors are suspecting it came back and is now in the bladder or urethera this is very common, it is known as metastasis (meaning the cancer has spread to this area) this is why people who have gone through cancer and had therapy must be rechecked on aregular basis. You cannot be diagnosed as cancer free until you have not had any forms of cancer for 7 years. from the time of no cancer being detected after treatment until the 7th year you are considered in remission meaning body has suppressed itself from developing more cancer. Remember cancer today is nolonger a death sentence as it was once known to be. Cancer is when a normal cell during multiplication and duplication process goes freaky and continues to multiply and duplicate in a rapid fashion,(basicly "Cells Gone Wild").
