| Prostatitis may effect up to one-half of all males during their ...
Unlike prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis often affects the lives of young and middle-aged men. According to The Prostatitis Foundation, prostatitis can result in four significant symptoms: pain, urination problems, sexual dysfunction, and general health problems, such as feeling tired and depressed. The prostate is a reproductive gland located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It wraps around the urethra, a tube that carries urine from the bladder. The prostate produces most of a male's semen. To diagnose prostatitis, a physician will collect a patient's urine and thoroughly exam his prostate gland. To check the prostate gland, a physician will carry out a digital rectal examination, which involves inserting a well lubricated gloved finger into the rectum to check for any abnormalities of the gland.
Healing waters or medical hoax?
Soak your feet and remove toxins from your body. That's the idea behind some unusual parties in the valley. Women from upscale neighborhoods are paying big money on the promise of better health. But do these footbath parties really work? The Healthline 3 Team launched a hidden camera investigation. It's happening in places like Anthem Country Club, Red Rock Country Club and Spanish Trails. All around the country, women are going to ion cleanse footbath parties. The claim: Soak your feet in a special bath and watch the toxins pour out of your body. "I think autistic children should really do this." "This is someone with cancer. This is before. They did an hour session on him, look how it cleaned up the blood." "So this cleans what? Just everything?" "The liver, the kidney, the bladder, the urinary tract, the prostate, the female area." The claims are incredible.
Doctors Optimistic After Cardinal's Surgery
George was alert and talking after undergoing surgery Thursday, one day after announcing he had been diagnosed with the cancer.
Pathologists will run tests on those tissues to see if the cancer had spread to other parts of his body. Those test results should be announced next week.
"We're very happy about the results of what we have," said Dr. Myles Sheehan of Loyola Medical Center. "However, we are going to have to wait for definite results until the end of next week."
The cardinal's doctors said the surgery took about five hours, as expected. Surgeons removed the cardinal's bladder, prostate, some lymph nodes and part of a tube leading from the bladder.
"We were very concerned that there may be more extensive disease that we just couldn't appreciate," said Dr.
