The Democrats now are entering a new battleground or so it would seem….?
They are politicizing cancer:
Females out number the Males by almost 2 – 1…some areas of the country are even greater in the ratio….
The new Cancer guidelines say: Women don’t get screened and don’t self check,Wait until you are 50.
However when it comes to Men – they have reversed the screening to Men should be checked at 40 for prostrate cancer….whereas before they were told to wait until they were 50…
Prostate Cancer Health Center..PSA Screening Guidelines Stir Debate
American Urological Association Calls for PSA Screening at Age 40 to Help Detect Prostate Cancer
http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/news/20090427/psa-screening-guidelines-stir-debate
.” The Society’s previous guideline recommended that all men age 50 and over receive annual DRE and PSA.
So is this a new war in the battle of the sexes?
Men have always had better health care then women in this country, majority of the research has been done on men’s health care issues…not women’s in my humble opinion.
Why should anyone listen to these bureaucrats? If and when Health-care passed, and I pray it does not, things are going to get a whole lot worse for the women of this country….
unintended consequences can kill.
Males are encouraged to seek early detection….
Females are told to wait to seek detection…they are told do not do self examinations…they are told to wait until they are 50 or older to seek the knowledge of whtether they have cancer of the cervix or the breast…
Men are encouraged to check for PSA cancer of the prosrate with all due haste at the age of 40….

Wow, the article you put up has nothing to do with with this sex battle you are talking about. The debate which is illustrated in the article you supplied relates to a recommendation on PSA screening and is in no way compromising cancer treatment done on women’s behalf. How you tie this all to some sort of women’s issues is beyond me. As part of your question, you site that “men have always had better health care then women in this country, and that the majority of the research has been done on men’s health care issues…not women’s in my humble opinion.”
Well it is your opinion unless you can supply some evidence to the contrary. I simply haven’t the time to look up and research your “claim.” It is up to you to convince folks of that.
You haven’t done that here.

Donna asks…
Do I have a urethral blockage?
10 days ago, I began experiencing a brief but sharp pain at the tip of my penis upon beginning a urine stream. (When I wasn’t urinating, I felt completely normal and pain-free.) On the fourth day of having this urination pain, I went to the clinic and provided a urine sample. The doctor called back the next day and said that my sample was “completely normal.” Finally, the pain went away, so I chalked it up to an injury.
I resumed sexual activity this past Saturday, and after ejaculating, I noticed that it was very difficult to begin urination. Things were back to normal yesterday. But this morning, after having sex with my wife I couldn’t pee for like 90-minutes. (I though I was going to have to go to the ER to get catheterized.) Finally, I was able to pass urine but it was difficult to maintain normal flow without straining, and it’s remained that way since. I’ve been drinking fluids all day to increase urination, in order to get things back to normal.
It can’t be a kidney stone blockage, because there was no blood in my urine, and I had no stone symptoms.
It also can’t be an STD.
I’m only 32-years old, so I doubt it could be prostate cancer or BPH. Back in March I was actually screened for prostate cancer as part of the blood work for my annual physical examination. All my blood work (CMP) came back great, and I was told that I’m a young healthy guy.
At first, I thought I irritated my urethra with soap, or perhaps injured it during sex/masturbation, and that maybe after the pain passed, I reaggravated the injury with sexual activity. But now I’m not so sure.
What is going on here?
I should add that I realize that it is normal to experience some urinary difficulty for a SHORT while after ejaculation. For some reason, it is especially difficult lately. It FEELS different. I sense normal bladder pressure and the urine travelling through my urethra and than just stopping. Eventually, I am able to initiate a urine stream, but near the end I have to strain with my abdominal muscles to make sure I empty my bladder.

rob answers:
It’s normal to have difficulty peeing immediately after an orgasm and ejaculation because the valving system in your inner sex machine tightens the muscle that keeps urine in the bladder to prevent urine from seeping and contaminating your semen. It also makes the semen project out the penis end instead of allowing it to go into the bladder instead. The difficulty in peeing usually ends within 15 to 30 min. After ejaculating.
If the tip of your penis was blocking the flow, the urethra would pressure up when you went to urinate and you would feel it expanding.
I suspect that your prostate gland is swelling and constricting the flow of urine which travels in your urethra, through the center of the prostate gland. If you become sexually stimulated for long periods of time, like being turned on and teased for extended time before orgasm and ejaculation, or edging for an hour or two and then coming off, the gland can swell for a coupe of days. Incomplete release of the portion of semen from this gland can cause swelling for a couple of days. It doesn’t mean cancer or anything dangerous, just swelling.
The part of the semen from the prostate gland can become really thick in consistency if being turned on and holding back from release takes place and the longer you hold back or get teased, the thicker it can become. It thins down in a couple of days where incomplete release takes place and your going to be all OK again after you ejaculate. Just don’t go with a long drawn out cession again for a few days.
Something that contains what we call licopines reduces prostate swelling or inflammation quickly. Some foods that contain licopines are tomatoes, particularly ketchup, tomato paste like in spaghetti and meat balls, and tomato paste is used allot on pizza, ruby red grapefruit, water melon and other colored foods like red bell peppers.
A zinc supplement is great for your prostate health on going, and for immediate relief of a swelling condition like being inflamed, take two Advil gel…as in the green ones… Only take 2 you have been already noticing problems peeing and your already done sex as in ready to sleep. The anti inflammatory action of the Advil will take down the inflammation quickly and you will be able to pee freely come morning. Advil has no negative sexual side effects and won’t interfere with sex the next day were Aspirin may interfere with sex neurology of some guys for up to a week after using it. It can block the ability or orgasm for some guys because it interferes with the feeling pleasure to orgasm link. Advil does not have that interference quality and leave you good to go when it wears off by the next morning.
Anything going on along the urethra including the prostate region can often be felt at the end of the penis head because the nerves of this system all work together and the penis head is where your greatest feelings are experienced.
Check out the link below. It goes into some of what I typed about. Some it does not cover. It’s primarily from a what you can take point of view.
This is not a serious condition and your going to run into it on and off based on conditions at the time and how you have sex. You also need to have enough sex as not going around over charged up.
Take care of yourself Man
Me! :- )

Can you write this in your own words please ???!! Bouns Poins for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
WRite this in your own words please!!
“We always want to see the grand-slam home run,” said Dr. Martin Abeloff, director of the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. “But what we are seeing are incremental gains.”
Abeloff added: “We are clearly on the right path. . . . We are seeing that cancer is really beginning to convert to a chronic disease.”
Among men, deaths from lung cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer dropped the most. In women, the greatest decline was recorded in breast and colorectal cancers.
Experts attributed the progress to a variety of forces, including improved screening, a decline in smoking and the development of better drugs and therapies
The absolute drop in the number of cancer deaths continues a trend that started in the 1990s, when cancer death rates started to level off and then decline, said Elizabeth Ward, director of surveillance for the American Cancer Society
Please help please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We don’t always get to the top by just landing there, said Dr Martin Abeloff, director of the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. “Usually we have to climb every inch.”
Abeloff added: “Medicinal advancements have started to pay off…. What was once thought to be an insurmountable disease is starting to show cracks.”
Colorectal, prostate, and lung cancers have shown a dramatic decrease in men. Women have seen remarkable decreases in breast and colorectal cancer.
Education and advancements in the medical fields that cover these diseases are being heralded as major reasons for the positive outlook.
Elizabeth Ward, director of surveillance for the American Cancer Society, noted cancer deaths have been on the decline since the 1990′s.

Maria asks…
PSA question?
PSA is used to follow the progression of prostate cancer, yet it is also elevated in BPH. When a PSA is ordered as a screening test and comes back elevated, is it more likely to be from prostate cancer or BPH?

rob answers:
Now that’s the kind of question I expect from a top contributor!
Yes, PSA is elevated in both conditions, along with prostatits. It’s actually not the PSA level that we are worried about, it more of the rate of change of PSA.
When PSA is elevated, it must be correlated with the physical findings. If you find a multi-nodular prostate that is soft, then it is most likely from BPH. If you feel a prostate with a large hard “bump,” then prostate cancer is likely and you would need a TURNP (sp) or biopsy to distinguish the difference.
In 80%+ of the cases, it is most likely BPH.
