Progesta-Life For Men 100 Ml From Devita International Aging… we’re stuck with it, but we don’t have to settle for it – there are things we can do to ease the inevitable. One of those things is Devita all natural Bioidentical Progesterone creams. As a male ages, his progesterone level decreases just like it does in women. In women this decrease occurs about the age of 35 and men about ten years later. When progesterone levels decrease, the male’s 5 alpha reductase converts the testosterone to di-hydro testosterone which is useless at removing the prostate cancer cells that estradiol stimulates. Estradiol also stimulates the enlargement of the prostate. This allows the prostate gland to swell and enlarge and in many cases transform into prostate cancer. Natural progesterone cream is biologically identical to same hormone men produce, and offers an alternative to taking synthetic hormones. It can help protect against the undesirable side effects of excess estradiol. May additionally assist older men as they seek to enhance their vitality. Men suffering from osteoporosis might also benefit from daily use. Men who would benefit from progesterone therapy not wishing to use a product made for a woman but manually re-meter dosage for male symptoms including, hair loss, lack of libido, fatigue as well as DHEA for the benefits to testicular health. Choose C Progesta-Life for MEN. WARNING: Before starting any new regime, it is always wise to consult with a health care professional.If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For external use only. Do not use around eye area. Action: Natural progesterone cream is biologically identical to same hormone men produce, and offers an alternative to taking synthetic hormones. It can help protect against the undesirable side effects of excess estradiol. Directions for use: Apply one full stroke of the pump to thin skinned areas: the testis, crook of the arms, back of the knees, the face, hands, breast bone, etc. Twice daily for 25

Just as in women, men can suffer from the effects of ‘estrogen dominance.’ Estrogen dominance (as it is sometimes referred to) is the result of an over-abundance of estrogen and estrogenic substances in the food we eat and in our modern environment. Research shows that estrogen dominance is a significant factor in both prostate cancer and breast cancer.Research also suggests that natural progesterone can counteract the toxic effects of estrogen dominance. But that’s just the beginning.It has been known for some time that natural progesterone enhances libido (sex drive) in men. It can also affect a man’s overall sense of well being.In healthy men, progesterone is made by the adrenal glands and the testes. Adequate levels of progesterone are an integral part in maintaining a healthy prostate.Two noted progesterone researchers, Dr. B. Formby and T. S. Wiley, recently published the results of their medical research that explains the important role of natural progesterone in promoting good health and well being for men. Research also shows that natural progesterone increases apoptosis ? often referred to as ‘the key to staying young.’ WARNINGS: Progesterone creams are currently restricted from sale in California as outlined under California’s Proposition 65.

7-KETO is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA, providing the same benefits of DHEA without its associated side effects. Because the body’s production of DHEA declines with age, so does the production of 7-Keto. Weight gain is a common sign of aging that often accompanies the decreased production of DHEA and its metabolites. Supplementation with Now 7-Keto can safely promote thermogenesis, thereby supporting the maintenance of healthy body weight. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an amazing natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands with numerous potential benefits. It is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells. Our bodies produce less and less DHEA as we age. DHEA dietary supplements have been in use for a variety of reasons: To deter aging, improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance, facilitate weight loss, improve strength, treat osteoporosis, improve immunomodulation for rheumatologic conditions, and treat depression. DHEA level in our body decrease as we get older, generally falling significantly by the time we are 30. Increasing DHEA levels have been shown to improve one’s sense of well being, reduce body fat and improve skin tone and moisture, increase sex drive, improve immunity, enhance memory, and increase bone density. Who should take DHEA?: Most people over 30 have DHEA level way below the standard. DHEA supplementation helps these people to maintain youthful body and an improved life. However, men with prostate enlargement or prostate cancer and women on estrogen therapy should consult a physician before taking DHEA, because DHEA is converted into androgens and estrogen in the body, and will have an impact on the levels of those hormones. Do not take DHEA if you are pregnant or nursing. DHEA is an anti-aging, longevity DHEA enhanced mood, energy, and memory DHEA improved immune system DHEA boost sex drive (especially in women) DHEA reduced

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

What are the pros and cons of this action. His blood rpt. is negative for Cancer. He wears a Bag now. Detailed comments will be appreciated.Tks.

Enlarged prostate causing inability to pass urine normally and requiring a bladder tube to drain the urine is a definite indication for surgery.
Nowadays the surgery is done minimally invasively via an endoscope.The procedure is called TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
TURP carries a significant risk of retrograde ejaculation at sexual intercourse and hence the patient may have a dry ejaculation and hence infertility.
The alternative is he has to wear the urine tube all the time which is unacceptable as a longterm solution.

He had a blood test that showed a PSA level of 87!! The MRI showed the cancer is in the surrounding Lymph tissue but the bone scan was clear. He has been given hormone treatment and told surgery is not possible and has an appt to see radiotherapy dept. Has anyone got any experience of this especially with such a high PSA result?

A PSA of 87actually isn’t a horrible number for someone who has just been diagnosed. Radiation, horemonal treatment, and possibly chemotherapy will definitley help him out. Prostate cancer, especially when caught this early, doesn’t have to be a death sentence.

It does require a lot of attention, though. Following the treatment schedule is very important. Follow up is crucial. Routine exams, labs, etc.

I hope he does well. What he needs right now is your support. Not your worry.

I have looked this up and cannot seem to find a clear answer. So if anyone out there could help i would greatly appreciate it. If a man has an enlarged prostate does that mean he is infertile. My boyfriend has an enlarged prostate, but thank God no prostate cancer. Sometimes when we have sex he ejaculates a lot, and sometimes it is very little. Is the semen he is ejaculating capable of fertilization, or are men with enlarged prostates infetile? Thanks for the help!

maybe infertile or it may be a different hormone disorder , he really ought to see the doctor!

Many men put this test off to check the prostate for cancer and enlargement. It’s important also to get the PSA blood test. Men are embarrassed sometimes, but woman get their PAP smears done.

My sister says her husband, age 52, is going to have to have his prostate taken out. So far he has put off setting up the operation for 4 months now. We heard that usually you get ‘radioactive pellets’ UNLESS the cancer has already spread. When she asks hubby about any of this he gets mad. He has a hectic work schedule, 16 hours days 7 days a week, and can’t bring himself to take off for this as he’ll probably never get his job back and has no other way to earn income.
Anyway, HIS explanation was that he is getting it out because ‘then he is sure the cancer is gone’, nothing to do with it being serious or spreading. In fact, he finally, after two months, told his kids he had it and painted such a ‘rosy picture’ that they haven’t even come to visit him regularly, only one day for Xmas and one for Thanksgiving, yet they live just down the street. He has no time for them due to his work schedule. Will he be out of commission 3 weeks or 3 months, we’ve heard both from him. Heeeelp !!!!!!!

I did not have this. But my friend did. They remove the prostrate when it about to spread outside the prostrate. I would not worry to much. Just get him to go to the hospital and have it done sooner than later.

I am 38 years old and I’ve been suffering from prostatitis for 4 years now.I have seen all kinds of doctors and have taken Flomax,and other pills to help me with this,but nothing has worked out for me.I have the cancer analysis taken and it was negative.For two years now I’ve sleeping with a pillow between my legs.Is there a way anybody know that’s effective in healing the prostate gland?

There is a urologist at Stanford who has quite a different view of our problem. He has written a book called "Headache in the Pelvis" that has been well received. You can get the 4th edition at Amazon or another book store.

His idea is that you don’t have a urinary problem. The reason it has been untreatable is because nothing has been done that addresses the real problem. The problem is knots in your pelvic floor muscles that refer pain to various nearby areas. To understand this, you might want to find a copy of the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

A lot of men get relief from a specially trained physical therapist (often one trained to work on women’s issues, but the pelvic muscles are the same), from relaxation techniques, and from drugs that relax like valium and xanax. There is a high correlation with underlying anxiety and this pain.

There is a group of guys to talk to at chronicprostatitis.com. It has been well worth the fee to join for me ($20 so they can pay their online costs). At least I know we aren’t alone.

There is a fair amount of research. Sometimes it is called nonbacterial prostatitis, sometimes chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS).

I was able to find a urologist who had read the book and understood the problem, but it wasn’t easy. Urologists make a lot of money out of us by convincing us its the prostate.

The prostate is a gland—about the size of a walnut—that makes and stores semen. The prostate is necessary for male sexual function and reproduction. The prostate gland is located just below the bottom of the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the body. Because of its location, if the prostate gland becomes enlarged, it can create bothersome urinary problems. The abnormal production of Dihydrotestosteron DHT is ociated with pathologies of the prostate. Benign prostatic hyperplasi and , prostate cancer. The enzyme 5 alpha-reductase (5 alpha R) catalyses the reduction of testosterone into the more potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

I need a real answer please ( Health Quiz).

Here’s the long answer.

Other factors are genetics and hormones.

Black men are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer as whites. Testosterone encourages the growth of prostate cancer so hormones are also a factor besides genetics.

A very close friend of ours has been diagnosed with prostate cancer (it really *isn’t* my partner or me!) and we were wondering what his treatment options might be.

If the prostate gland is removed, does that eliminate the ability to have sex?

Probably best to have an older person answer this: it’s pretty obvious by the question that this is going to be completely out of the realm of experience for most of the teenagers.

It can, but new surgical techniques have reduced the risk. I was diagnosed with it about a year ago, but a second opinion from Johns-Hopkins said no. At least not yet. Anyhow, there are a number of different treatments that depend on the age of the patient and the stage of the disease. At my age, 50, and the very early preliminary diagnosis, removal was recommended. There is a new procedure called the da Vinci procedure that is minimally invasive and less likely to lead to the nerve damage that causes impotence. However, it is still a risk, as well as a risk of urinary incontinence. And even if you are not impotent, your orgasms will be dry – seminal fluid is produced by the prostate. There are also other procedures, such as implanting radioactive ‘seeds’ into the prostate. It is my understanding that the risk of impotence from that or any other radiation procedure is higher than da Vinci surgery, but less than with traditional surgery. Chemo and broader irradiation can be recommended in more advanced cases.
My brother had the daVinci procedure, and he is able to have sex. He uses a penile constriction band to maintain an erection; I don’t know whether he had any ED problems before. He is able to have orgasms, but as I said, they are dry.
Sometimes, again depending on the age,the stage, and how aggressive the cancer, they will recommend leaving it alone. Don’t bank on that, though.

Here’s a link with info on the daVinci procedure.
Tell your friend my thoughts and prayers are with him. I know how scary this is. I have to have regular biopsies to keep track of mine, and every time I go through hell waiting for the results.
