    I'm 74. I've read about PSA testing for nearly 30 yrs, and I keep finding in the literature of different sources it is inconclusive. I recently had that test done again ordered by the NP and it came back a little above the commonly accepted limit--EXCEPT that she did not take into consideration that the limit advances with age too! For my age, it was on the low side. Now I had a biopsy done 4 yrs ago and the result was benign even though mine is significantly enlarged. The UroDoc said many men live out to their 90s with an enlarged prostate and never develop cancer. Mine told me I was highly unlikely to develop cancer before I die being it is a slow developing type.
    Now for the bad part. My biopsy just happened to take place 2 months into the COVID scare. This became a huge curve ball for the Uro business I was going to. They did not have the freedom to cope with complications. Previously the UroDoc said I could have either local anesthesia or be put under. He talked like a local wasn't too bad an experience--some reasonable discomfort from having instruments should up the tail pipe. I was led to believe that local injection of Lidocaine would numb everything sufficiently. Well first they have to inject you with what feels like a needle meant for a horse, and that was nasty enough. But Lidocaine doesn't do a complete job of numbing. 12 perforations of the intestine into the prostate even with a local is only for those men who are bull moose with pain. I was on the edge of shock by the 4th stab. At that point they were not going to put me under and kept going. It was all I could do to keep from passing out. The ordeal took everything out of me and it was 45 minutes after they finished before I felt strong enough to stand up. And its no fun seeing thick raw blood flowing out the peen. The biopsy is worth getting done, but never take a local. It's not worth any small advantage. And always, do your homework and know everything you can before allowing any doctor to bamboozle you into procedures you don't need.

    Short answer and quoting the guest
    "Ejaculating more than 21 times per month showed decreased risk... As per studies.
    Study didn't delve into type of sdxual activity that preceded the ejaculation.
    But basic understanding is cleaning out of the tubes may be associated with a reduced risk
    Basically follow safe sexual practices "

Because if they did the it would kind of disprove what was stated in the video about mast preventing prostrate issues ? Cheers

    My father was diagnosed with PC in the early 1990s and he reassured me that it was not a genetic threat to me. I was skeptical and of course I now have PC since 2022. He underwent radiation therapy and it was no fun for him and eventually he died from leukemia in 1997. My belief is there are so many harmful chemicals in our diet and drinking water that cancer is a much bigger threat to us than earlier generations, including micro and nano plastics. Yikes.

    I had prostate cancer, and the doctor said it was genetically induced. I was ejaculating several times a day, and in my case, it didn't matter. That's why I say get a blood test at least yearly to screen for prostate cancer. Trust me. I found it early and had a prostatectomy, recovered, and enjoyed life after all that. No problem with sex.

    Thank you for a very informative video. My PSA went up from 6.4 to 10.3 over a 3 month period. One issue is I have severe heart disease and have been on Plavix for 20 years. To do a biopsy I'm suppose to stop taking Plavix for seven days but my cardiologist is pretty adamant about not stopping the Plavix so a prostate MRI would seem to be a better option. I'll look into it.

    I learnt so many incredibly important facts about the prostrate and prostrate cancer from this segment. No surprise that my favorite foods can increase my risk of cancer. I’ve already taken onboard a healthy diet and life style is fundamental to a healthy life. However it would have been a happy dream if bacon wasn’t on the bad list 😂. I’m 65, screening since early 50s with a PSA gradually increasing with my age. So I was very comforted to learn that an MRI and not a biopsy is the most likely first step in investigating a jump in the PSA. Thank you for such an informative interview/discussion.

      I have a PSA of 7.5 and was rising over the past 6 years. I’m also 65 and recently I had a biopsy procedure. I wish I had informed myself earlier to have an MRI done first as the biopsy could’ve been focused on the location of the questionable lesions. Still, I’m going to another urologist to have an MRI done as my current urologist frowned upon having an MRI and instead recommended to monitor it and another biopsy in 1 year. Perhaps the younger urologist recommend an MRI first as my urologist is a doctor in his 70s. The 12 biopsies couldn’t have discovered the greater area of the prostate. Fortunately I have a Gleason 6 score which is a low risk cancer but I want to be sure that any other cancer lesions are found thru an MRI. I wish you well!

    What factor does injury to the perineum and prostate play in a high PSA? I went from a PSA of 2.5 to 5, and then I injured the area during a bike ride, and PSA zoomed to 28.5! The injury may have led to a UTI, but a urine test was negative. Within 2 weeks PSA was down to 13, then 9 ten days later. Subsequent DRE had no indicators. Next is waiting a month and doing a new PSA and staying off a bike. Thoughts?

    I started a low-carbs diet (no more than 2 carbs per meal and usually those with low sugar index like broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower) and it has been lowering my PSA and other risks. I do not eat processed meats, but I do eat meat (beef, chicken, goat, pork, turkey, and occasionally fish) and have been having good results. Since I went low-carbs, I lost 25 pounds. I also do not consume dairy products. I do eat chicken eggs.

    My brother was just diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at age 58. After urinating blood and some blood clots he saw his urologist. His PSA was 55. After a cystoscopy his urologist said it didn’t look good. Insurance refused to pay for a PET scan. They did some other type of scan where they could see his bones and it has metastasized to his pelvis, hips, spine, shoulders, clavicle, and scapula. He’s waiting to have a biopsy to find out the type of cancer and aggressiveness. Why would insurance refuse the PET scan? Isn’t that the only way they’ll know if it has spread to his organs?
    Update: insurance has now approved the PET scan since his lower cost scan (still don’t know what that was) of his bones showed a lot of locations of cancer sites.

    I enjoyed this video. I do not have cancer but I do know the fear of biopsies and the so called (standard course of care) with treatments and tests that are not really necessary. One topic that this podcast did not discuss is that most if not all insurance companies will not give you an MRI until you have a biopsy first. I paid out of pocket for my MRI. Nothing major was there and it is worth the expense. My last urologist was so high strung on biopsies, he didn't think the MRI was accurate. I found a new doctor.

    I’m currently seeing an urologist who discards having an MRI guided biopsy and instead chose to do the 12 grid pattern biopsy procedure. Not sure why he prefers this but his answer was a simple “…I’ve done this a thousand times and there’s a biopsy patient next after you..” It seems that the younger urologists are preferring MRI’s first whereas older urologists the other from the many TH-cam videos I’ve watched. Any insights into this point would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Thank you so much for this information. I was diagnosed with inflammation of prostate. Fist urologist I saw immediately wanted to do whats equivalent to a hysterectomy/removal of the prostate. Luckily aside from a Very painful scope in the penis I never went back. I did my own research on on line found that sugar could play a big in inflammation. I started to cut back, then started take saw palmetto and zink supplements along with excersise. It dramatically helped, I still get up once or twice a night, but because I'm retired it's not an issue. I have no issues during the day, and without medications have no sexual issues. On a side note, with that surgery the urologist had recommended, it would have left with me so many permeant issues to list. One last thing I do, twice a year I do take PSA test and have sex almost every 2 days 😊. It's worked for me... Hope this helps someone.

Now dealing with my cousin he said one sign that he had is he could not ejaculate at all, he said he could go all night and not ejaculate at all.
