Prostate Cancer: Symptoms, prevention and cure

“There has been an influx of competitive eaters recently; one of these competitors, who is also a well-known YouTube celebrity, recently came out revealing that he has testicular cancer. How did he know that he had it? One day, while self examination, he realized that the size of one of testicles have grown by about 4 times. ”“There has been an influx of competitive eaters recently; one of these competitors, who is also a well-known YouTube celebrity, recently came out revealing that he has testicular cancer.

God bless him however, for he has survived this ordeal and is now leading a significantly normal life with his bride to be. Prostate Cancer is nothing to be ashamed of. However, it is everything to be afraid of. This cancer happens in the prostate glands and it is one of the common forms of cancer in the males. However, there are some facts you need to consider before you become afraid:

• It may be common but it is curable.
• If caught in the earlier stages, the chances of its complete remission are pretty high.
• With regular screening, you can keep a track on it and detect it at the correct time.
• Its most common symptom is a drastic increase in the testicle’s size.

The YouTuber that we mentioned in the beginning was always upfront about his issues and always cautious with every single step he took. It is perhaps this reason that he is cancer free today.

This particular type of malignancy in the testicular region has some warning symptoms that you should look towards if you want to detect it in its earlier stages: 

• Frequent urge to urination to no avail, especially at nights.
• Urinary stage fright: A condition where you are not able to pass urine.
• Blood in the stool.
• Pain during urination or during sexual activities.
• Difficulty in maintaining an erection during sexual activities.

These are some of the ones that may act as the initial sign of testicular cancer. However, if the malignancy has spread onto the later stages, you will notice the following symptoms: 

• Fractures.
• Aching bones, spine, pelvis, femur and/or ribs.
• Constant fatigue
• Involuntary defecation or urination.

Now, the fourth symptom in the serious section might throw you into a tizzy. However, with proper care, and best cancer treatments in India, you will be able to fend off all of these symptoms:

• Constant monitoring: A constant overseeing of this disease might seem like a waste of time. However, different stages involve different path to treatment. Therefore, it is better to be patient rather than looking for an immediate treatment.
• Radio prostatectomy: It involved the removal of infected prostate. The entire ordeal will make you stay at the hospital for about 10 days and it will take about 3 months of recovery after that. However, with advancements in technology, the cancer treatment in India has advanced enough to make use of the robotic keyhole surgery to make the treatment less of an ordeal.
• Targeted radiation treatment: There is a technique called the Brachy therapy, in which radioactive seeds are planted in the cancerous region and with that targeted radiation treatment is possible.

There are other treatments, but if the case is a lot dire, you will have to look at the following options:

• ADT: Androgen Depressive Therapy: it is a type of hormonal Therapy that suppresses the release of androgen in the body.  This treatment makes sure that the hormone that promotes cancer growth is not produced at an accelerated rate.
• Chemotherapy: it is a holy grail of all therapy where drugs are administered into the body to kill the cancer cells: These treatments are drastic; however, watching your weight at all times, eating right, exercising regularly, and not relying on supplements can assist you in preventing this disease altogether.
