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.

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.

Hope this is helpful for you. Best wishes.

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.

Pomegranates/pomegranate juice have been shown in studies to really help with enlarged prostates. It not only tastes good, but it has other benefits also. Tomatoes have been associated with lowering the risk of prostate cancer.

All the best!

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.
