My dad is dealing with prostate cancer and metastatic i.e. Spread to bones. He is heart and diabetic patient as well. He had undergone surgery to remove testicles almost year back. Psa test shown low reading - 0.140 after surgery but start increasing gradually since then. Now psa stands at 18 and just had 2nd pet scan. Doctor compared both pet scans (6 months gap) before and after surgery and did not alarm anything new. No bone pain as such currently. Based on doctor prescription he stated zoledronic acid injection on monthly basis. 2 injections so far. He currently takes bicalutamide (50 mg) along with other calcium and vitamin d supplement here are the 2 major issues I need help1. After zoledronic acid injection. He got light fever for a week and nausea. His psa score was very low after surgery but gradually increasing in recent months now 18.

Cancer staging needs to do first. Different treatments / approaches are available for different stages. Psa will stop increasing only if we are able to treat the cancer or stop the cancer growth. Zoledronic acid & bicalutamide have limited role. Pet scans. Other reports & most imp patient s clinical condition will decide further treatment.

More masturbation isn't good for health and future sexual life.

Do meditation, and avoid overthinking of sex and about opposite gender.

If there is nightfalls then it's ok.

Do concentrate on study, good physical and mental health.

Do kegale exercises for muscle tone which you will get on YouTube.

Eat healthy food avoid junk food.

Eat more ghee and drink milk regularly.

Prostate specific antigen, which is more commonly known by its acronym, psa, is a protein that can be produced by both normal and cancer cells in your prostate gland. It is normal if psa is found in small amounts in your blood and semen. However, unusually high levels of psa can be a sign of something serious, such as prostate cancer.

Prostate-specific antigen (psa) tests are usually blood tests that measure the level of psa in your blood. It must be noted that eleva...more

Tabi works by blocking the effects of male hormones such as testosterone.

Research findings. A study found lower vitamin d levels in people with prostate cancer. The study also found that prostate cancer was more severe in people with the lowest vitamin d levels and found a correlation between low vitamin d and higher levels of inflammation in people with prostate cancer. If you can send me vit d report and psa report I may suggest ayurvedic remedy if reqd.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you
the three most common prostate problems are inflammation (prostatitis), enlarged prostate (bph, or benign prostatic hyperplasia), and prostate cancer. One change does not lead to another. For example, having prostatitis or an enlarged prostate does not increase your risk of prostate cancer.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hi lybrate-user. What was the gleason score on prostate biopsy and what was his psa at begining, if psa is consistently at this level you can continue calutide. Though, we used to prescribe calutide 50 mg once a day after orchidectomy. Did he have metastatic prostate cancer?
# calutide is like a friend which turns into enemy later on. So, calutide is stopped if psa starts rising again. You do not need to stop calutide at present. Calutide initially works against cancer and then works with ca...more
