OK O. But you know that over 90% of these so-called alternative remedies amongst Nigerians don't work. Eating Pawpaw to "cure" cancer is ridiculous irregardless of your good intentions.

obicentlis:
Research on the major nutritional component of Pawpaw, tHen try and know if its anticancer or not. Its natural. Dietary pattern is a major concern for cancerous cell growth. What of those diets like fruit that attack the growth of thoser cells? Africans should go back to their raw natural food(fruit), Gods. Given to balance and control the growth of cells.

14men/day?

14*30 = 420/month, 5040/year, 50400 in 10 years . Na lie

agoha_vivi: Is it possible for a man to still have a normal life(sexually) after undergoing a surgery to correct this condition?

Mrs.Chima:


Yes...it is possible for a man to have sex after surgery however it is impossible for a man to have pleasurable sex with prostate cancer.

maclatunji:

Can you expatiate? My research indicates that errrr... surgery is quite detrimental if not fatal to a man's "conjugal proficiency" . I am trying not to be alarmist here.

Mrs.Chima:


Then stick to your research. Whatever I say won't change what you will believe.

Mrs.Chima:

If a man has to remove his prostate gland...it is obvious the cancer "ate" it up so therefore it is not safe to leave it in the body before it spread to other parts of the body. That is why prostate exam is imperative and the earlier you catch it...the better the treatment.

tayoccu:

My Old man had to remove it @ 82, but after running tests, the Urologists discovered it wasn't cancerous.
So having to remove it, or having issues with the prostrate gland doesn't necessarily have to be cancer.

Mrs.Chima:


A well-knowledge doctor will not remove a prostate gland if it isn't necessary. If the prostate gland is removed...it is a good reason for it...TRUST ME.

The most common reason for removing prostate gland is because of cancer or threat of cancer.

afam4eva: How did they come to this conclusion. I'm not saying it doesn't kill that much men or even more but they should quit throwing stats around.

ochallo: all you need to do is multiply 14 by 365 to know that the stats are erroneous.

uihebom: o boy how do you want me to be awake and see someone tearing my chairman and looking for walnut.i know its for men good but dat sounds scary o.(thr tearing part)

ACM10:
Prostate cancer is a disease of the elderly. I don't know what an elderly man will do with his sex life at 80. Anyway, urologists will proffer a better advice. But I don't think so. Depending on the stage of the cancer, either parts of the prostate or tes.tis is removed. Or drugs which blocks the male sex hormones are used. Sex life will be affected. But I don't know why a great grandpa will chose sex over life.

MrsChima:
That's not surprising because Black men in America do not get their prostate exam until it is too late. The organization I am involved with are creating several awareness fairs to encourage black men over the age of 40 to get their prostate examined. We have decided to allow men as early as 35 years old to participate because we believe early detection is the cure to prostate cancer.

The issues with Black men regarding prostate exams is miseducation and ignorance. Many of them do not have the accurate facts about prostate exams and listening to peope who have absolutely no idea what prostate is.

I would tell my clients to thin of prostate gland like a walnut or hazelnut. It is usually located by the bladder and if you were to rub your finger on the perineum...you may be able to feel the "walnut" depending on some patients. Prostate gland is a reproductive gland for men and it aid the development of seminal fluid by providing "transportation" for the sperm. Some doctors have argued that the prostate gland is responsible for the color of the sperm and it creamy appearance. However without prostate glands....it is impossible for sperm to travel to their destination.

It is very important for men to understand their body and I encourage men to study basic antomy because knowledge is power. Anatomy isn't just for nurses and doctors but it is for humans to understand their body and how it works. I believe when people understand their bodies...they will treat it better and take concerns of the things that are harmful to the body. Unfortunately there isn't a cure for prostate cancer but early detection is the cure.

I encourage all wives and girlfriends to support their partners in getting prostate exams starting at 35 years old and you owe it to yourself to have your man with you until rocking chair age. Some symptoms that you can help your partner look for:

=swelling of the prostate gland
-frequent urination
-discoloration in the urine
-lower sex drive or change in sexual habits
-complaints of discomfort in perineum area
-pressure while urinating

Some of the male clients have complained about fear of someone putting their finger in their rectum but that is how doctors check thoroughly during prostate exam. Doctors can't just look at the scrotums and go hmmmm I think that cancer. They have to draw blood, collect urine specimen, and do some basic tests addition to manual exam that may be uncomfortable but it is a life saver.

Men...you owe it to your wives, girlfriends, and children to live a healthier life by getting your prostate check annually or bi-annually. Who is going to walk your daughter down the aisle and give her away? Take care of your prostate and your health.

Good luck. (sorry OP for the seminar lecture)
