Doctor compared both pet scans (6 months gap) before and after surgery and did not alarm anything new. No bone pain as such currently. Based on doctor prescription he stated zoledronic acid injection on monthly basis. 2 injections so far. He currently takes bicalutamide (50 mg) along with other calcium and vitamin d supplement here are the 2 major issues I need help1. After zoledronic acid injection. He got light fever for a week and nausea. His psa score was very low after surgery but gradually increasing in recent months now 18.

Cancer staging needs to do first. Different treatments / approaches are available for different stages. Psa will stop increasing only if we are able to treat the cancer or stop the cancer growth. Zoledronic acid & bicalutamide have limited role. Pet scans. Other reports & most imp patient s clinical condition will decide further treatment.

Yes More masturbation isn't good for health and future sexual life. Do meditation, and avoid overthinking of sex and about opposite gender. If there is nightfalls then it's ok. Do concentrate on study, good physical and mental health. Do kegale exercises for muscle tone which you will get on YouTube. Eat healthy food avoid junk food. Eat more ghee and drink milk regularly.

Tabi works by blocking the effects of male hormones such as testosterone. Ayurvedic medicine help immunoenhancing effect against proliferative tendency of cancer cells. Here herbs n minerals and other things work at different degrees. The degree of effectiveness depends on body type and body response. If you go for higher things like calcined vaikrant, diamond processed with certain herbs, herbal decoctions etc, there have been definite advantages found in many cases. But since I am not academician I can not explain you in terms of modern description in details. You may consult me by Lybrate call or chat and pl send discharge summary. Even simple periwinkle flower or rubia cordifolia roots are effective many times. Pl consult. I ll do my best. Have had some encouraging results of cancer pts in the past.

Age 29, height 5 ft 11 inch, weight 82 kg, do prostate cancer lowers vitamin d level in body?
Research findings. A study found lower vitamin d levels in people with prostate cancer. The study also found that prostate cancer was more severe in people with the lowest vitamin d levels and found a correlation between low vitamin d and higher levels of inflammation in people with prostate cancer. If you can send me vit d report and psa report I may suggest ayurvedic remedy if reqd.

For prostate size more than 40 grams. You should take combination therapy take urimax-d/…d is dutasteride with this prostate size. It is less likely that medicines will work much. Get an assessment of post-voidal residue. You can send you reports to me.
