Yep note they are all older men. In this day and age brothers got no excuse. Assuming they bathe on a regular, because it only takes a minute to check your balls for anything untoward. Assuming they have need for a good working penis.
Know too many older men with postrate cancer who can't have sex. From I hear that I check everytime I am in the bath. I intend to be playing a long innings so to speak.

DSP... and guess which male demographic is the last to receive critical early intervention? (go look in the mirror)
Did you know survival rates are pretty good if you catch it early on?

Unfortunately, "checking your balls" might help in detecting any testicular lumps but not in detecting prostate cancer. If a man notices that he's taking longer than usual and expending more effort to pass urine then he should go to his GP/primary care provider for a consultation and request a test called a PSA (prostate specific antigen). The levels of 'PSA' are usually elevated in patients with prostate cancer although they can also be elevated in benign conditions of the prostate that tend to affect older men. Whilst at the GP, they might also do a digital rectal examination during the consultation or refer you to a secondary care provider/hospital specialist for a more thorough consultation and to assess the size of the prostate.Last edited on Friday February 2nd, 2007 21:12 by nsogbu1562

That must be correct. "Checking your balls" seems unlikely to be able to be of great assistance in detecting prostate cancer (the subject of this thread):

Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer in men in the UK, with over 30,100 new cases a year. The lifetime risk for being diagnosed with prostate cancer is 1 in 14.
However, based on the American experience, The Prostate Cancer Charity expects that African Caribbean men in the UK will have a higher incidence and mortality from prostate cancer than other groups. This is confirmed by data from East London, presented at the British Association of Urological Surgeons annual meeting in June 2003*. This showed that African Caribbean men are almost three times as likely to develop prostate cancer as white men.

It would be interesting to find out the reason why prostate cancer is more prevalent amongst the African Carribean community. If fear or dislike of medical procedures or examinations is a cause for this, then it is something that will most definately need to be addressed. There was an interesting scene on ER a few weeks ago where 'Dr Pratt' came across a few older African American men at his local barbers. They all had various ailments (including one man who had symptoms suggestive of a prostate problem) yet they all refused to seek medical advice. I think a good slogan for the prostate cancer campaign could be 'Embarrassment Kills'.

I know at least 4 men in my family all my parents age, (recently retired or getting ready to return back home) who now have Prostate Cancer - all at the late stages.
Very scary. Brothers please check yourselves for ailments. Take a trip to doctors ASAP.

Most men over the age of 35 get prostate cancer type symptoms. I had my symptoms and rushed to the doctor. They examine you first by sticking a finger up your bum to assess the size and surface condition of the prostate swelling. Yet after years of being on the tablets my symptoms remained, so they gave me another examination...they put a mini camera up my dick to have a look at my bladder . no cancer there either.
Yes, folks I have been through the wars.
The sad thruth is that some men do not have the balls, pardon the pun, to go thru these things, so they die if there is anthing.
Be brave fellas..I cant stand pain or embarrassment, but I rather suffer a bit just to stay alive longer.

MGL - neat thread I've been wondering for the last few years how genetic disorders are spread and distributed amongst the races because white people seem to have some really incredible disorders that don't seem to affect black people that much if at all.
You go to any childrens hospital and there's some freaky cases out there but then I always wondered maybe it only looks this way (white) because we are in a preominately white country.
Saying that, I found this link regarding prostate cancer in Tobago and how it affects black men more here than black men any where else suggesting different races are affected differently depending on environmental conditions.

"... Men of African descent on Tobago have a rate of prostate cancer that, as best as can be estimated, is three or four times higher than that of white Americans and maybe twice as high as African Americans ..."

Saw palmetto and pygeum supplements can help prevent this.

Pomegranates have been linked to many health benefits
Drinking a daily eight ounce (0.24 litre) glass of pomegranate juice can significantly slow the progress of prostate cancer, a study suggests.
