My last biopsy of my prostate was 7-05 and consisted of seventeen bites and I got an prostate infection which lasted for over a year..My question is my prostate has a lot of old scar tissue ,could this be causing the bleeding and body tissue issues,along with Levitra? Or coud this be from my past prostate infection? My PSA is the lowest its ever been . It is now .30 Thanks for any help you can give me....
I am 73 yrs old and and had hormone treatment and brachytheraphy for prostate cancer approx. 11 yrs ago.
I read that the January issue of the Journal of Urology states that men who have had both both can
experience significant penis reduction, which has recently happened to me .Is there anything that can be done
to stop or reverse this trend?
Hello everyone! I don't have time to work on any more articles on my website, but I do run across some things that I believe are very interesting in cancer treatment/research that you may want to discuss with your physician (may still be too 'out there' for them, though). I hope to do this monthly, but work has me super busy...keep fighting everyone!
1) "Increase" Bloodflow to Tumors?
I then decided to go to a Urologist and he check my prostate and told that my problems can be due to a prostate inflamation or infection of the prostate. So, he decide to treat the problem as an prostate infection with a drug call Levaquin.
After the treatment was over I was able to get an erection for a week and ejaculate without pain. Then all of a sudden I could not get erections.
I would have thought the doctor would have then dug deeper to find the physical cause to then treat that but instead just gave him a sample of Levitra to use if he wanted to have sex. The Levitra did help, but not all that much...the erection was soft and still failed shortly after attaining and there was of course no climax or ejaculation for him. He also had quite a headache the next day and at $14 a dose doesn't seem to be a good solution.

Hi,
I had prostate surgery in the form of a TURP and resection of the bladderneck in 1995 at the age of 30. In 1999 I first started having problems with ED. My urologist at the time prescribed Viagra which did not realy work. I did not really have any success with Cialis either.
In 2003 I was seen by a urologist who specialized in ED as a part of a health clinic examination for a neurological problem that I was being seen for.
If you go on you tube and enter non invasive procedures for prostate cancer detection or prostaye cancer biopsy needle tracking and you see videos fron universities and prostate research and other different type entries. Any doctor of urology will also tell you it is possible but rarely happens which is not the all together the truth ..I have been researching this and other prostate information for 6 plus years. But enough said ...
Well, management protocol of prostate cancer is not as well defined as other cancers and largely depends on the stage of the cancer. For localized lesions, gamma knife may be a suitable option with results as good as surgery and better results for maintenance of urinary continence. It would be best to discuss the pros and cons and the expected prognosis in detail with your treating oncologist.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
He had a biopsy and he had Gleason 7 cancer and atypical cells in another area of the prostate. After his prostate removal surgery, the atypical cells turned out to be Gleason 6, or 3 + 3, which is slow growing cancer. This is what I have learned with our journey and what you need to remember....
1). This is a highly curable cancer if it is present. And if it is present, you cannot change it but only deal with what is in front of you.
You could probably think of people with breast cancer who had spouses with prostate cancer as both cancers are pretty common. Since prostate cancer is common, you may also hear of spouses with other cancers – uterine, cervical, etc.
There is a good screening method for cervical cancer, talk about it with your doctor. This has reduced the number of cervical cancer cases substantially. This is much better than being scared.
Towards the end of last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer, gleason 10. My psa was 18.1. I have since had the DiVinci surgery (which I fully recommend) and I am not undergoing radiation. None of the existed before Spiriva!!!! I found out that if you are on Spiriva 2 years - 5 years your chances of getting prostate cancer is 50%. If you are over 60 (I am 62) the chances are 90%.
In general it is believed that asymptomatic men (which would mean without any symptoms referable to the prostate, and indirectly probably have a smaller prostate size) would also harbor prostate cancer as they age. About a third of such men would, but majority may remain without symptoms and die of other things such as old age.
If your dog is neutered, it will stop the levels of testosterone, which could cause prostate swelling and prostate cancer too. It would take a while to max. effect because he'd still have SOME testosterone in his system for a bit. But it would be a quicker option than medication. But it would be a good option only if he's generally in good fitness and condition for his age. The anaesthetic might stress him if he has heart or lung problems, or some other health problem.

- Prostate cancer. Prostate cancer cells in remaining prostate tissue or in other parts of your body can release PSA. Checking for signs of prostate cancer is the main reason men have PSA tests.
- Recurrent benign prostate growth. Some prostate tissue remains even if your entire prostate is removed. This tissue may continue to grow, leading to increased PSA levels.
- Inflammation of prostate tissue (prostatitis).
We have been told that it is a T2c tumor (contained within the prostate) advanced and aggressive cancer. Surgery is not an option because "the cancer is too advanced and there is less than a 10% chance of getting all of the cancer". I am confused. Is this stage 2 as they have indicated with T2c, or stage 3, based on their comments? The recommended treatment is hormonal therapy (total androgen blockade) and radiation. Is this the best treatment to start with?
I also do not understand why the u urologist did not test further for anything and was content to just give him some Levitra to try. And like the nocturnal erections, the Levitra erections do not stay and fail before ejaculation. You have almost loving wife who so for you to help you in any way she can to final solution. And your love to her is so evident as well to follow up with her ideas..you must be a great couple!!
