Doctors report: Low back pain could be a sign of prostate cancer

 My recommendation is to gather as much data as possible at this point as it won't hurt.  prostate cancer A patient can still decide what is right for them.It's a great idea to have the "baseline" information when a man decides to wait, the route of vigilant waiting. Especially as a man, this data from the various tests can be of great help and can be used for relative comparison purposes. 

  prostate cancer  A man can always decide what to do or not to do with the data and analysis revealed by the urologist. But until a man is fully evaluated, he has only incomplete information, and that's not enough to make a fully informed decision FOR  prostate cancer. 

 What a man who has a worrying

PSA level or rising PSA level, or who may also have a 4K result indicative of an increased risk of prostate cancer, decides to do or not to do with those results lies still under your control.

You can always choose to do nothing or have additional testing done and perhaps start a treatment plan when the possibilities are greater. 

 That being said, my highest spiritual guidance involves him making appointments with several urologists for consultations. Now that Boomers have entered the risk group for prostate cancer, there are long waits for a consultation. Therefore, it is best not to delay the appointment unnecessarily. 

 Age increases a man's risk of prostate cancer, but so do other factors.Make sure it is known if there is a family history of prostate cancer, known comorbidities such as high blood pressure, overweight/obesity, insulin resistance, or symptoms that may be prostate-related, such as bleeding. , pain or difficulty urinating. 

 The phase of uncertainty is not only a phase of anxiety/stress for a man, but can also be difficult for his partner or his family. There is a lot of information to process. 

 I'm not a doctor, but I've been in this prostate world since the 1980's when a customer with metastatic prostate cancer walked into our health food store looking for information on what diet and/or supplements might help. 

 My eyes have been open and wide ever since a relative and dear friend was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.I've learned a lot more than I wanted to know about all those horrors of spine and hip pain that occur when cancer has left the prostate and takes root in those areas, the first places it often spreads. 

 Between years of addiction to opioid painkillers and harsh radiation, chemotherapy and chemical castration treatments that resulted in breast lumps that grew and needed treatment, along with trouble sleeping, hot flashes, severe mood swings and debilitating depression, it's nothing. I want someone to pass. 

 Comprehensive evaluations may reveal that a man does not have aggressive/fatal prostate cancer, and that would be cause for celebration. 

 But when a man discovers that, I hope he finds it sooner rather than later when he still has a choice and can be healed, and not when he's out of the barn, as they say. 

 As has been said countless times, early detection can save lives.and suffering 

A urologist warns men that lower back pain could be symptoms of prostate cancer.

I caution anyone confronted with a cancer issue about the bias that can exist when looking for validation. 

 My own bias is based on what I've learned through my studies and what I've experienced with at least eight men in my circle (that I counted, there could be more!) tacklin tghe prostate challenge. 

 I feel sorry for everyone who is experiencing this health issue as well as those who are supporting their loved ones as they discuss treatment options.I encourage all men in this situation to talk to other men around you who have been through everything from testing to biopsies to treatments so you can gather as much information as possible and make an informed decision. 

 But the bottom line is pretty simple: only a true biopsy, let alone a true biopsy, can provide the definitive diagnosis of what type of prostate cancer is present.
