Although it gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it also tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to prostate cancer, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on prostate cancer. Following an introductory chapter, the sourcebook is organized into three parts. PART I: THE ESSENTIALS; Chapter 1. The Essentials on Prostate Cancer: Guidelines; Chapter 2.

my psa level is 2554.40 how high can it go
they tell me this is just a number don’t worry
The closer you are to the number 0 the better off you are. Your doc should already have you scheduled for for some type of treatment and prostate removal with a number this high. If your doc is not acting on this immediately find a new urologist ASAP. My dad has prostate cancer which came back in his soft tissue even though his prostate was removed. His PSA went back up to 40 but with radiation and now with hormone shots it is under control and down to about a number 1. The sooner they start treatment the better off you will be.
I am a 22-year old male. I have had frequent urination for about 1 month. I have been to the doctor and I do not have a UTI, my kidneys are fine, prostate is fine, and my physical was normal. I would like to know how I can go back to normal function. My symptoms include using the restroom every 3-5 hours, feeling like there is urine in my urethra at times, and increased sensitivity in my genitals. I had severe discomfort in what felt like my bladder for about 8 days and then the discomfort left. I had a CT scan and I do not and did not have kidney stones. No burning during urination and no blood in the urine. No stomach pain. Have slept through the night without urinating for approximately 2 weeks. Diabetes test was negative, but my sugar level was slightly high. Does anyone have any idea what I could possibly have?
I drink anywhere from 40oz to 80oz a day. I’ll have 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning and then drink water the rest of the day. I do not drink alcohol or soda. With dinner I might have 1% milk or crystal light ice tea.
Blood Pressure was 120/60, pulse was 54 bpm, urine is clear most of the time and there is no odor.
Is it possible I have an STD?
Did the doc check your ADH (vasopressin) levels? Was your BP ok? Is your urine clear most of the time?
Other causes of frequent urination: caffeine, alcohol, diabetes insipidus http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/d/diabetes_insipidus/intro.htm
You mentioned your blood sugar was slightly high. Could be pre-diabetes mellitus. Take action… Buy a cheap glucose monitor or borrow a friend’s. Test your fasting blood glusose (BG) levels, then eat a snickers bar and test every 30 minutes until you’ve tested a total of five times. Your BG range (if normal) should look like ~90 to ~140. It should peak around an hour. Hope this helps.
my dad has high levels of psa 9 I think it was ..then it when down to 7
can my dad be saved? or is it to late.. thank you
There are many men with levels that high and higher. He could very well live a long life and die from something else.
I suggest you google Prostate Cancer Support Groups +your town. My husband is quite active in one of these groups. They meet on a regular basis and your father can talk to people who have the same problem as he does.
After one of many intense bike rides, I felt a burning sensation in my pelvic area and an excessive urge to urinate. I have experienced these symptoms after periods of vigorous exercise but they always subsided.
(I also have an inguinal hernia that hasn’t been repaired.)
This time, in addition to the burning sensation, I also experienced mild soreness around my hip. I also had a fever for one night only. A few times I experienced mild (kidney?) stones.
I stopped riding the bike, started drinking cranberry juice, and saw palmetto/nettle.
Since then, all symptoms have gone except for the more frequent than usual urination especially after drinking wine &and possibly tea. I never had a problem with wine before.
I also feel drier and more thirsty during or after the night.
My GP ruled out diabetes and didn’t find a UTI, even though I was sure I had one. The prostate seemed fine after a DRE, and the PSA seems OK. I still get up several times at night to urinate. I am 50+.
Sounds like you have urge incontinence from an overactive bladder or previous bladder infection.. I had the same, and still have to wear protection. I visit a urologist often. There are meds for it now, but don’t want to take any more. I am careful not to drink certain fluids that don’t allow me to hold it when I get the desire to go. My PSA is about 6.5 and has been steady. I am 58. I had all the tests including biopsies.
Yes you can. That is neither reassuring nor worrisome. Make sure you get your enlarged prostate properly evaluated.
Best wishes, God bless
I’m 17 years old and ive had the problem of frequent urination for a while. This has basically been happening for more than a year. Every once in a while I have to go to the bathroom about every 10 minutes, for about 5 times before falling asleep. This only happens during the night, during the day my bathroom breaks are about 3 hours appart. This has been happening for a pretty long time, but other than that i am very healthy and there are no other symptoms of anything serious. I’ve been to the doctor and he said that it’s a psychological thing, related to stress, cause if it was a urinary infection it would have been happening during the day too and if it was anything serious, it wouldn’t have gone for that long without any pain or other symptoms (and im pretty sure im too young to have prostate problems, im 17). I actually have a fair share of stress, but it’s nothing too big, everything’s manageable. Another thing that suggests that this is psychological is the fact that it doesnt happen every night and it only happens when i sleep in my own house (if im out of town or staying with someone else, im fine). The problem is, the fact that i know that it’s a harmless thing doesnt solve the fact that i have to get up every now and then almost every night, walk to the bathroom, take a leak, walk back, then do it over again in a few minutes. Any ways to treat this? Thanks a lot!
PS: I tried holding it before, it doesn’t really work… also, is there anyway this is a serious condition even though it’s been happening for this long and no other symptoms have surfaced? (and it only happens at night and not everyday, just sometimes)
there’s no pain or discomfort when i pee, btw. It’s just that most of the time the ammount that i pee at night is quite little, much less than when i pee normally.
yeah, i dont really have fatigue…. also does anyone know how to treat this if this is stress related?
also about drinking, what’s the healthy ammount? cause i tried not to one day and i felt a bit dehydrated cause i drank very little that day. also, im gonna try to see a doctor, the problem is it probably wont happen for the next several weeks, that’s why im posting this question.
i take no caffeine btw and i just noticed that when im occupied during the night i dont need to go to the bathroom (ive been sitting on my laptop for past half an hour and i dont need to go to the bathroom, but before i picked up my laptop i needed to go 3 times)
Hmm…In order for one to pee, one has to drink. There for in order for one NOT to pee, one must NOT drink. It isn’t exactly rocket science!
