Avatar m tn nuclear seed surgery for prostate cancer in '01...3 months ago cancer returned, am on lupron shots every 4 months...want to ask how other sexually active males are dealing with sex life, if any...my sex drive has lost its transmission!...
Avatar f tn Long term Percocet or oxycodone abuse can cause testosterone levels to decrease and ultimately cause impotence. Abused over a period of time Percocet will cause prostate problems, respiratory depression, low blood pressure and even death. Have you spoken to his family about his addiction? He needs an Intervention!

1580703 tn?1651904887 nurses tried to draw blood and I had red areas of bleeding under my skin. I was on Percocet 5 every 4 hours or 2 tyenol. I also took 15-30g of glutamine for a few days and 2g/day of methenamine, 2g/day sodium salicylate for a UTI. I have NAFLD but neg hepatitis I started 6g-9g day NAC, 500mg choline, milk thistle, protein shakes. I hope my liver isn't scarred or I got hepatic encepalapothy, ammonia damage?
Avatar n tn Have pain in very lower left abdominal region sharp that comes and goes not last, but a few seconds at a time can occur over and over again and then sometimes feel it once then again an hour or two later. For three days about 1 1/2 months ago I was bed in bed all day long because of the pain. I had the feeling as though someone was tickling the inside of my penis and the very strong sudden urge to urinate with no output.
Avatar f tn Percocets can cause impotence, enlarged prostate, and decreased testosterone secretion, thus decrease sex drive. In high doses, or in patients not tolerant to opiates, Percocets can cause shallow breathing, cold or clammy skin, insomnia, lowered blood pressure, heart failure, heart attack and even death. Because it contains acetaminophen, long-term ingestion of Percocet can do significant damage to the liver. Alcohol consumption may increase severity of liver damage.
Avatar n tn I had a Henia last year 2007 this pinched my bladder but gave the symptoms of a Urine Infection, I saw another Urologist who gave me the finger in the rectum examination, between the exam and blood tests the Urologist told me I had the prostate of a 35 year old and had just a 5% chance of ever getting prostate cancer. So there you have it, I can see no problem in frequent masturbation and yes it may help your problem. Good Luck.
Avatar m tn There is a book that came out last year discussing prostate surgery pros and cons...written by a doctor and a patient. very informative...sorry I forgot the title.
Avatar f tn  Could my prostate be calcified and producing a hard prostate and continued rising PSA for the last 6 years with no signs or symptoms? I have masturbated at least 3 to five times a week for the last 11 years because my wife can no longer have intercourse due to an operation and also discovered that masturbation could prevent prostate cancer. How true it is I am not sure but why not just in case it is true.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Have you had your prostate checked? There is a connection between testosterone and prostate cancer, BUT please know that it is very rare in men under 40. That would be unlikely. But you should have your prostate checked. There are also a lot of information linking low testosterone to prostatitis and prostate pain. So, yes, it could be involved. But pain is an odd thing where it is felt in one place but coming from somewhere else.
Avatar n tn I also had no prostate problems prior nor did I have a family history of Prostate cancer.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%.
Avatar f tn I only started taking percocet yesterday, after suffering for 4 days with severe pain. I had tried everything, NSAIDS, hot wet compresses, I went for massages 4 days in a row! I'm going to have to go back and get an MRI, but in the meantime, I need to take the percocets. I just don't know if I should continue taking the subs while I am on the percocet. I want off the subs really bad, but I only got 15 percs and I don't know how long it will take me to get another Dr appt.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar m tn I am just concerning would it be hiding in prostate and not killed by antibiotics (as antibiotics could not go into the think layer of tissue of prostate and that prostate has a complex structure)
Avatar m tn The primary symptom was extreme discomfort in the actual prostate, and a constant desire to urinate to alleviate the pain. I was given antibiotics and the symptoms disappeared fairly rapidly. Now I am experiencing symptoms that are similar, but slightly different. The tension in my prostate is noticeable, but not as persistent as the first occurrence (assuming that this is also a prostate infection).
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am 6 weeks pregnant and have kidney problems. The ER Doctor gave me Percocet and Promethazine and I can't remember if I can take them together.
Avatar n tn oral sex (without condom) with a prostitute in mid of January this year. Now in early April, I start to feel subtle pain and discomfort around my prostate / rectum area. Can it be a STD? No physical sign or discharge from my penis. No pain during urination snd no rashes. Doctors prescribe various antibiotic 3 times for 5 days but it just won't go away totally. Urine test shows no sign. Later, the doctor said i am imagining things. Can I catch STD but without obvious sign or symptom?
Avatar f tn My husband had a prostate MRI one week ago and the doctor's office called and set up an appointment for next week to, I suppose, reveal the results. I'm assuming if it were good news, he might have just said on the phone without an appointment. My question: is a prostate MRI sufficient to determine cancer or would a biopsy have to be the definitive answer? Can he say "it's cancer" and then set up a treatment plan or do we have one more step?
Avatar n tn Some psychologic disorders may cause pain in the prostate in the absence of inflammation ( prostatodynia). Infrequent ejaculation may engorge the prostate and may cause pain.This may also change the character of the semen ( makes it thicker). Just support your friend for he may be uncomfortable discussing this however, a consult with a physician may be able to determine any underlying conditions and a complete physical examination may be necessary for baseline asssessment.
Avatar n tn I am currently recovering from back surgery and am taking 2 Percocet 10mg every 8 hours per the directions. I ran out today and tomorrow is a holiday so I won't be able to get a script until Tuesday. I am not good at keeping track b/c the scripts are only for 15 days while most are for a month, but anyway. I have some 5mg vicodin - can I take those to get me through until I can fill the script for the Percocet? If so, how much should I take?
Avatar f tn I am also prescribed percocet and I get 150 pills a month and I take it in addition to extended release morphine for chronic back pain. On average, I take 25 mg of percocet daily and up to 30 mg a day along with 60 mg of morphine per day. I have never had a morning after headache from the percocet. The maximum dose of acetaminophen that can be taken daily is 4,000 mg. So with 325 mg in each pill, you took well under the maximum dose.
Avatar f tn I started having chronic prostate infections in my early 20's about 25 years ago and I believe it also triggered my IBS. The infections seemed to abate over time and I had prostate surgery to reduce the size 5 years ago and currently have BPH symptoms only, but still chronic IBS. I'm thinking of seeing an IBS specialist to at least achieve a bit more relief but if my prostate and it's continuing problems are what caused the problem should I even bother?
