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.
Independent MP Bill Casey of Nova Scotia to have surgery for prostate ...
AMHERST, N.S. - A Nova Scotia MP who was kicked out of the federal Conservative caucus for voting against the budget last year is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Bill Casey, who sits as an Independent in the House of Commons, is having surgery on Thursday. "The prognosis is that will eliminate the problem," he said Tuesday in an interview. "There may be some other treatments after that just to make sure." He said he expects to be off work for six weeks. Casey, 62, said the cancer was diagnosed during a routine blood test. He said he'd had no symptoms of prostate cancer and was caught by surprise when the tests and biopsies showed he would need the operation. He expects a full recovery and plans to resume his political career by April, including seeking re-election.
Akron man, 72, describes slaying that followed quarrel
A frail and haggard Robert Hudson sat on the witness stand Thursday and said he regretted fatally stabbing a neighbor early Feb. 16 following a daylong quarrel over moving a car. ''I wish I had throwed that old knife away,'' Hudson told Summit County Common Pleas Judge Judy Hunter. Hudson, 72, is being tried for murder in the death of Neal D. Shafer, 56. Hunter will decide the case. The day of fighting allegedly began when Shafer refused to move his car from a side street next to the Miller Hotel, 1226 Highbrook St., where both men lived. Hudson, who is the unofficial manager of the building, wanted Shafer to move his car to allow the street to be plowed. Hudson testified Shafer at tacked him after he told Shafer to move his car.
