If we were to offer some friendly advice to men who are focusing on this aspect of the surgery, it would be this. Think about what’s really important! The primary goal here isn’t to preserve potency, but to get rid of the cancer in a careful but thorough way. Please keep that in mind. Men can remain potent even if one bundle is removed, and can still have normal sensation, sex drive, and orgasm even if both bundles are removed.

There is no way for the surgeon to know for certain beforehand whether or not … Continue Reading

On the other hand, the benefits of watchful waiting aren’t that clear for younger men with localized disease—men who probably could be cured if they act in time. The biggest disadvantage here is patient is being watched. If you are in otherwise good health, have localized prostate cancer, and a life expectancy longer than ten years.

Which form of treatment is best for your There are two good choices – radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy’s great advantage is that not surgery . Therefore, it’s an ideal form … Continue Reading

A better question might be, “Which treatment is right for me?” There are several important considerations here: Your age and overall health, the stage of cancer, the side effects associated with different treatments, and finally—most importantly—your own wishes.

When prostate cancer is localized in men with a life expectancy of 1o years or more, the goal for treatment is cure. This sounds obvious, until we remember that when prostate cancer is advanced, cure is no longer an option. In other words, if we don’t remove the disease or treat it effectively when it’s localized —if … Continue Reading

Now is the time for some plain speaking, so here goes: At the top of this list should be men who are too old or too ill either to undergo the rigors of treatment or to live another ten years—long enough for such treatment to be worthwhile. Also in this group should be men who don’t want to experience the side effects associated with “definitive,” or curative treatment; men who are diagnosed with stage T3, T4 or N+ (C or D) disease who don’t yet have symptoms; men whose prostate cancer is truly incidental and not yet … Continue Reading

How do you know if you have prostate cancer? Don’t wait for symptoms to show up, because for early prostate cancer, there aren’t any. By the time a man has noticeable symptoms of prostate cancer, it’s probably too late to cure it. To make matters worse, all of prostate cancer’s symptoms can be attributed to other causes. That’s why the American Cancer Society recommends that, after age 50, men undergo a yearly digital rectal exam and take a yearly PSA test, a blood test that measures levels of PSA (prostate-specific antigen), a key enzyme made by the … Continue Reading

It’s usually younger boys and girls who ask these sorts of question. When we first heard questions like these, we have to admit that we were a bit shocked that boys and girls who were so young seemed to be asking questions about whether they were ready for sex. However, when we talked further with the very young boys and girls who asked these sorts of question, we realized that the reason they were asking them was often because they had very mistaken ideas about physical intimacy. Some of them seemed to think that kissing or being … Continue Reading

Crushes is yet another topic that always comes up when we talk about the kind of sexual and romantic feelings young people may have during their growing-up years. Having a crush means having sexual or romantic feelings towards a certain, special someone. Many young people develop crushes. Having a crush can be very exciting. Just thinking about or catching a glimpse of the person you have a crush on can brighten your whole day and you may spend delightful hours imagining a romance with that person.

Sometimes young people develop … Continue Reading

Most males are born with two testicles. Every once in a great while someone is born with only one. Sometimes a man or boy could have an injury or accident that could crush one testicle so badly that it has to be surgically removed.

If a man has only one testicle, the other testicle takes over for the missing one and produces enough sperm so that he’ll still be able to make a woman pregnant. His sex life and everything else about him will be completely normal.

This is another common STD, which can cause symptoms similar to those caused by gonorrhoea. The information on gonorrhoea also applies to chlamydia. Females are even more apt to be asymptomatic (without symptoms) with chlamydia. Like gonorrhoea, untreated chlamydia in females may lead to PID, infertility and other serious medical problems.

Genital herpes-This STD is caused by a virus known as herpes virus type II, or HV-2. The chief symptom is painful, blister-like sores in, on or around the sex organs. There may also … Continue Reading

How effective a method is at preventing pregnancy is another important consideration. No method is 100 per cent effective. People sometimes become pregnant, even after sterilization, though this is rare.

However, there are some methods-the contraceptive sponge, the rhythm method, spermicidal pessaries and spermicidal creams and jellies when used alone (without a cap or diaphragm) – that aren’t very effective even if a person always uses them exactly according to instructions. For this reason, these methods should not be used by people … Continue Reading
