Cancer Is Hidden Behind Impotence

Cancer is Hidden Behind Impotence: How to Correctly Diagnose and Treat Diseases of the Genitourinary System

Impotence is a problem that many men try to hide and not discuss. However, it may indicate serious diseases of the genitourinary system, including cancer. Prostate cancer occupies a leading place in the world in terms of the incidence of cancer in men. However, in most cases, it does not show obvious symptoms at an early stage of development, which makes its diagnosis and timely treatment difficult.

Andrey Dmitrievich Kaprin, doctor of medical sciences and urologist of the highest category, says that many men do not pay attention to potency disorders, attributing them to fatigue, age or stress. However, in some cases, such symptoms may indicate malignant diseases of the genitourinary system, including prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is a malignant neoplasm that develops in the prostate tissue in men. Symptoms of prostate cancer at an early stage may be invisible or nonspecific, but later they may manifest themselves as urinary problems, pain in the perineum, blood in the urine or semen, potency disorders, and others.

Previously, doctors diagnosed prostate cancer in the presence of metastases, which made its treatment difficult and reduced the effectiveness of therapy. However, it is now possible to diagnose the disease at an early stage, thanks to the use of the so-called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by the prostate gland. Changes in the level of this antigen can indicate various diseases, including cancer.

But not all men undergo regular examinations to detect PSA levels in the blood. In private clinics, such tests are not always carried out, which can lead to the disease being detected in the later stages of its development, when treatment is no longer effective.

Experts recommend regular examinations to identify possible diseases of the genitourinary system, including prostate cancer. If violations are detected, you must contact a specialist to conduct additional research and prescribe appropriate treatment.

At the same time, you should not treat yourself and use questionable methods, such as folk remedies or drugs without consulting a doctor. Treatment for prostate cancer can include various methods, from surgical removal of the tumor to the use of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods, which should be prescribed depending on the stage of the disease and the general condition of the patient.

It is important to know that early detection of prostate cancer and timely treatment allows for higher effectiveness of therapy and increases the chances of a full recovery. Therefore, you should not ignore potency disorders and other symptoms that may indicate diseases of the genitourinary system, but undergo regular examinations and consult a doctor.
