  • Prostatitis Explained Prostatitis
    Prostate information Prostatitis Explained Prostatitis Prostatitis (prost-a-ty-tus) is the most common prostate problem for men under 50, but it can affect men of all ages. In fact, almost 1 out of 2 men between 18 and 50 may have at least one bout of prostatitis in their lifetime. Prostatitis is often described as an infection of the prostate but it can also mean that the prostate is inflammed or irritated. If you have prostatitis, you may have a burning feeling when passing urine, pass urine more often, be in a lot of pain, have a fever and chills and feel very tired. Once your doctor has diagnosed your symptoms as prostatitis, then the outlook tends to be good. There are many treatments available and your doctor will work with you to find the treatment(s) most suitable for you depending on the type of prostatitis you have. So, it may take slightly longer for some men to see an improvement in their symptoms. However, even when you feel your symptoms are starting to improve you should still continue with your treatment or medication. It may be reassuring to know that prostatitis is neither connected with cancer nor does it mean there is an increased risk of developing prostate cancer in the future, but it can cause worrying symptoms.

  • The Fine Art of Prostate Massage
    The Fine Art of Prostate Massage Part I: What exactly are we dealing with here? Or, Anatomy, 101 • What is the prostate gland? Very simply, it is the part of the male body that store and secretes an essential part of semen. More specifically, the prostate gland produces an alkaline fluid that makes up about 30% of the semen. The alkalinity, interestingly, helps offset female vaginal acidity. • Where is the prostate gland? The prostate is located in lower abdominal area, roughly between the bladder and the rectal wall (which makes it easy to feel and to play with). Notice that one part of the prostate (shown in green) runs along the wall near the rectal area. This is the part that we are interested in. The prostate is slightly larger than a walnut, which can make both exams and play a bit challenging. Anatomy is highly variable, which means we have to be patient. • Do biological females have a prostate gland? Not in the same way that a biological male does. There is a small gland, also called the Skene’s Gland or the paraurethural gland. While it is homologous to the male prostate, it serves a slightly different purpose. An authoritative medical group officially called the female prostate such in 2002, and it is thus “officially” known as a prostate. It does play an active role during the female orgasm. The female prostate is located in approximately the same place as the male prostate. The anatomy here, though, is also highly variable. It may play a significant part in female “ejaculation”.

  • Specific Antigen Level and Serum Fasting Glucose, Total Cholesterol
    Original Article DO I: 10.4274/uob.999 Bulletin of Urooncology 2018;17:59-62 Assessment of the Relationship Between Serum Prostate- Specific Antigen Level and Serum Fasting Glucose, Total Cholesterol and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Men Aged 50-70 Years with Prostate-Specific Antigen Level 0-10 ng/mL without Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Bora İrer MD İzmir Metropolitan Municipality Eşrefpaşa Hospital, Clinic of Urology, İzmir, Turkey Abstract Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, and neutrophil- lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in men without prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Between 2010 and 2017, 2631 male participants aged 50-70 years with a serum PSA level of 0-10 ng/mL were included from a population of 4643 healthy males who participated in a health screening program conducted by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality Eşrefpaşa Hospital in the district villages of İzmir. Participants’ serum PSA, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol levels, and NLR were retrospectively assessed. Participants were grouped as those with high and low serum PSA levels, high and low glucose levels, and high and low cholesterol levels. Differences between the groups in terms of serum PSA levels, serum total cholesterol, glucose, and NLR were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the participants was 60.2±5.4 years and the mean serum PSA level was 1.28±1.20 ng/mL. The mean PSA value was higher in the high cholesterol group (1.36±1.33 vs 1.19±1.02, p<0.001) compared to the low cholesterol group, and the mean PSA value in the high glucose group was lower than in the low glucose group (1.08±0.86 vs 1.32±1.25, p<0.001).

Correspondence to: Shingo Hatakeyama, MD. Department of Urology, Hirosaki University Graduate School of Medicine, 5 Zaifu-cho, Hirosaki 036- 8562, Japan. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. The application of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test has improved the diagnosis and treatment of PC. However, the PSA test has become associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Therefore, there is an unmet need for novel diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers of PC. Urinary glycoproteins and exosomes are a potential source of PC glycan biomarkers. Urinary glycan profiling can provide noninvasive monitoring of tumor heterogeneity and aggressiveness throughout a treatment course. However, urinary glycan profiling is not popular due to technical disadvantages, such as complicated structural analysis that requires specialized expertise. The technological development of glycan analysis is a rapidly advancing field. A lectin-based microarray can detect aberrant glycoproteins in urine, including PSA glycoforms and exosomes.

João Hospital, University of Porto Medical School; CE- BIMED, Faculty of Health Sciences of Fernando Pessoa University (RM), Porto, Portugal ABSTRACT Purpose: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in the world. Although PSA utili- zation as a serum marker has improved prostate cancer detection it still presents some limitations, mainly regarding its specificity. The expression of this marker, along with the detection of PCA3 mRNA in urine samples, has been suggested as a new approach for PCa detection. The goal of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of the urinary detection of PCA3 mRNA and PSA mRNA without performing the somewhat embarrassing prostate massage. It was also intended to opti- mize and implement a methodological protocol for this kind of sampling. Materials and Methods: Urine samples from 57 patients with suspected prostate disease were collected, without under- going prostate massage. Increased serum PSA levels were confirmed by medical records review.

This research evaluates discussions of pegging, a gender non-conforming sex practice within heterosexual sex whereby women anally penetrate men. Data were collected from the website Reddit and its subreddit r/sex. 3,485 comments posted to 30 discussion threads were analyzed for common themes. Findings suggest that pegging confuses gendered expectations for “having sex”. Additionally, heteronormativity and homophobia were found to structure heterosexual interactions, including the ways in which gender and sexual identities, desire, and bodies are understood.

Prostate 2 Function The function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance,[8] that usually constitutes 20-30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles.[9] The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA).

For its screening, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) test has been largely performed over the past decade, despite its lack of accuracy and inability to distinguish indolent from aggressive disease. Metabolomics has been widely applied in cancer biomarker discovery due to the well-known metabolic reprogramming characteristic of cancer cells. Most of the metabolomic studies have Citation: Lima, A.R.; Pinto, J.; reported alterations in urine of PCa patients due its noninvasive collection, but the analysis of prostate Amaro, F.; Bastos, M.d.L.; Carvalho, tissue metabolome is an ideal approach to disclose specific modifications in PCa development.
