Hi, great site,nice to knoe theres advice out there if you look. My question is i have trouble urinating,i have to sort of really push and this has been the case for a while now. Lately tho ive had burning sensation whenever i urinate. Im worried sick now that i might have prostate cancer. Im 32 years of age (live in the uk) What should i do? Im going to make an appointment on monday for the doctors and see what he thinks. Maybe im being stupid being so scared but the more i read about it the more worried im getting.Will my doctor be able to do a test when i see him or will i have to wait to have it done. Also what type of test am i likely to have.
Any help would be much appreciated

Mark,

Your doctor will be able to advise you when you see him, as some of the tests do not involve a long waiting time.

Obviously you should not delay seeking help should your problem become acute in the meantime.

Mark, a simple test can tell you if it is cancer or something else. It is called a PSA test (Protate Specific Antigene). Go and have your PSA measured. Burning sensation when urinating could also be signs of a Urinary Track infection treatable with antibiotics. So, relax, but see a doctor as soon as you can.

Good luck.

I am a urologist.

urethral stricture and uti need to be ruled out.
A culture and Cystoscopy may be needed. Your doctor can advise you.

At your age, I think anti oxidants are a reasonable approach to prevention of prostate cancer. This is an approach I have had success with for prevention and cure on my own patients.

First, visit your urologist.
If he rules out any issues, I can help you with some ideas regarding prevention and antioxidant therapy.
