Medical questions or concerns?

[Cwrose1]

So from time to time I do this thread...I'm a paramedic and have some knowledge in the medical field. I can offer advice. Keep in mind I'm not a Dr. and you ultimately should consult your Dr.

Yes...if you have a family history of prostate cancer it's important to be screened early. Prostate cancer is one of the deadliest cancers because men don't get checked. Ultimately it's discovered too late.

Also a sign/symptom of prostate issues (common) include frequent irination, or an inability to completely empty your bladder.

Since I been on TRT, my doctor routinely checks my prostate through blood work, and every time its been perfect. Now, should I still get a digital exam, or will blood be good enough? Note, I'm only 42 with no history of cancers.

So this only happened a couple times, but didn't start happening until 3/4 through my first blast. My ab muscles have charlie horsed, or locked up, a couple times, and it was rather painful. It happens with my hammies and biceps sometimes when I'm blasting and have done a high rep set, etc, but this was just from bending forward. It happened yesterday in the gym when I bent down to pick up my gym bag lol (I've been on TRT dose for 4 weeks). It takes a while for them to let loose, but then I'm all good. I was thinking it could be potassium/electrolyte related. I know I'm hydrated, so that's not the cause. I eat plenty of spinach, strawberries, and some banana here and there. Any thoughts/suggestions?

In most men prostate cancer is very slow in progression. Sometimes it takes years before it can be detected. In a small percentage of men it grows rapidly and is deadly.


Not my words here . This is from the prostate cancer foundation
Approximately 90% of all prostate cancers are detected in the local and regional stages, so the cure rate is very high: Nearly 100% of men diagnosed and treated at this stage will be disease-free after five years.However, prostate cancer is still a deadly disease. A man with prostate cancer has a 1 in 7 chance of dying from the disease, and nearly 88 U.S. men die from it every day. Determining which men will die from prostate cancer is an active area of research.


Nearly 3 million U.S. men are currently living with prostate cancer, according to estimates.
One new case of prostate cancer occurs every 2.4 minutes; one death occurs every 19.1 minutes.
A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma, and kidney cancers combined.
A man is 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Studies have shown that the majority of men over 70 have some form of prostate cancer.
