Men: The Feeling of Being Violated May Add Time To Your Life

Prostate cancer screenings are vital to living longer and healthier. Decting the cancer as soon as possible increases your chance of survival. Know the signs and symptoms so you don't wait too long. If your having blood in your urine or semen you need to consult your doctor. Your race, age and family history may put you at higher risk.

If the cancer is caught in it's earliest stage you may not have any type of symptoms. But if your frequently urinating esecially at night, difficulty starting to urinate or holding back urine, weak or break in urination flow, painful or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in your urine or semen, painful ejaculation or frequent pain or stiffness in your lower back, hips and upper thighs. Some of these symptoms could be a serious problem and not only may be prostate cancer.

Having too much or frequent blood in the urine or semen is not healthy. You may lose too much blood and become anemic. Or even worst you may need to receive a pint or two of blood through a transfusion. If your religion doesn't allow you to receive the blood transfusion you may be cutting your life even shorter. So don't think it's not a big deal or that your not bleeding a lot, it's not important.

Your race puts you at higher risk. African American men are at higher risk than any other race. Asian, Indian and Alaska native men have even a less chance of getting prostate cancer. If your over the age of 65 this is usually the age when men start to get prostate cancer. And usually not before 45. Knowing your family history could also play a role. One in six men get prostate cancer. But remember you may have several risk factors to raise your chance.

Know the facts, risk and symptoms. Understand catching the cancer as soon as possible so that your more likely to remain disease free after treatment. There is several medications to help with prostate cancer. Don't feel ashamed. All men should be tested to avoid serious health issues or even death.
