Prostate cancer is usually adenocarcinoma. Symptoms are rare until urethral obstruction occurs. Diagnosis is suggested by digital rectal examination or prostate-specific antigen measurement and confirmed by biopsy. Prognosis for most patients with prostate cancer, especially when it is localized or regional, is very good; more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Treatment is with prostatectomy, radiation therapy, or, for some elderly patients, watchful waiting.
The cause of prostate cancer is unknown, although some studies have shown a relationship between high dietary fat intake and increased testosterone levels. When testosterone levels are lowered either by surgical removal of the testicles (castration, orchiectomy) or by medication, prostate cancer can slowly get better.
There is no known association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Prostate cancer is the third most common cause of death from cancer in men of all ages and is the most common cause of death from cancer in men over 75 years old. Prostate cancer is rarely found in men younger than 40.
Men at higher risk include African-America men older than 60, farmers, tire plant workers, painters, and men exposed to cadmium. The lowest number of cases occurs in Japanese men and those who do not eat meat (vegetarians).

Abstinence cannot cause an increased risk of prostate cancer. In 1 study out of the hundreds conducted only that 1 found that abstinence could cause an increased risk of prostate cancer plausible. It has been proven that prostate cancer is mainly genetic so you only have something to worry about if someone in your family has prostate cancer. I hope this answer helps you find a girl.

I don't believe that that is true..... plus if your young you don't really need to worry about prostate cancer all that much. Just make sure you get checked out by your doctor.

No it does not, abstinence will prevent you from getting nasty diseases however. If you are concerned about a back up down there, I recommend relieving it yourself. If your worried about how to get a girl, do not bring this up to her and you should be fine.

Well a good flushing of the testes promotes a healthy prostrate. If you are a male,I'm shure one way or another you will relieve yourself.

If you are really concerned you can take matters into your own hands, so to speak.
