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?
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.

I have acute Prostate pain. I was in this way from my childhood and the pain is making me uncomfortable. The doctor in mongolia is not good. Next week I’m going to china for better hospital to exam my prostate. Hope it helps me.
Inserting gamera is not that paintfull. You should go for that.

im no doctor but it doesnt sound good did you check for a v.d. or a bladder infection both could cause trouble using bathroom. but i would let them check prostate just to be on the safe side. and as for #2 probbably said that because it might cause a hernia or something. good luck get it checked

Every country has their age group for prostate cancer screening. Usually they do this test after 40. Unless of course there is a history or other problems that occur….a simple blood test for prostate cancer starting in late 20′s is a good idea. What does one have to lose? Later there is a physical test that your doctor can perform himself going in the anus and this does not hurt. He checks to see if it is swollen or if it hurts you when he touches it. For your bladder problem see a urologist if you haven’t seen one yet.
As far as bowl movements they say you should go right away because it puts pressure on your prostate and abdominal area….i never heard of it being dangerous if you hold it. The only thing is you will get "pain" or the "feeling" that you have to go.

Apparently he sees some urgency. I’d give serious thought to seeing another specialist for a second opinion. This time do what he suggests.

Prostate cancer is very rare under 40 years old only a few men in their 40s are effected. The prostrate is checked by going up the back passage

It’s highly unlike you have prostate cancer. That usually affects retired men (including my dad)
