Prostate cancer?

Monday, August 17th, 2009

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.

Signs of Prostate cancer?

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

This is very embarresing to post but i am getting a little worried. i know that prostate cancer makes u urinate more and sometimes painfully, but i have not experianced any of these symptoms. At least not consitantly. The reason i ask is there is a mark on the shaft of my penis that is the same size and likelyness of a pimple. I am not sure that there are any other things this may be, but it is not any STD. Please help, any thing u can provide would be helpful. Thanks

Duh, have you made an appointment to see a Uroligist? Before you start to worry, get some professional help.
