Usually, an enlarged testicle or a small lump or area of hardness are the first signs of testicular cancer. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

F stands for finasteride which blocks conversion of testosterone hormone to dihydrotestestorone (dht) which helps in growth of prostrate
psa is a market for prostrate cancer
when finasteride or dutasteride are used they decrease psa level spuriously and masks the ongoing prostate cancer so before using finast one has to check a baseline psa.

My girlfriend is 17 years old and she said she had a bump/lump the size of a quarter. She said it has grown larger since when she first noticed it. I believe this could be cancerous because she has had a family member that has recently passed away due to untreated cancer. She also has been experiencing symptoms of ovarian cancer such as: urinating very frequently (with little water intake) irregular periods (she has been on her period for 4+ weeks) feeling full after not eating much food (sometimes, also sometimes skips meals) random upset stomachs (frequent) pelvic pain (frequent) swelling/bloating in her abdomen intercourse has been painful (last time was about 6 months ago) other things she experiences that have raised my concern: pain in the breasts (just the left one) unable to get pregnant (even when not using any form of birth control) feeling lightheaded (fell in the shower recently due to it) pain in her legs (this happened once recently for a couple days but it hasn’t happened since) feeling overheated (to the point where she needs to splash her face with cold water and sit down) (this happens daily) please give me as much information, I am not an expert I just need to know what we should do next, she has an appointment scheduled but it's not for a long time (october 6th) because of covid-19. What should we do? What treatment would she need. Need help asap. It seems like symptoms keep getting worse and more out of control and we're scared that she will not be able to wait until her appointment that is in october.

Hi lybrate-user. Your girlfriend should undergo some tests to ascertain the diagnosis like ct scan of abdomen, thyroid function tests, sex hormonal profile.

Age-28, height 5 ft 11 inch, weight 82 kg, my serum psa total in 2016 was 0.77 ng/ml but today on 4 august 2020, my serum psa came 2.06 ng/ml. I am worried about this significant increase in 4 years that is at an rate of 0.33 ng/ml /per year. I did this test today because on 29 may I got uti for which I took nitrofurantoin and levofloxacin and on 1 july my usg kub was normal and prostate volume shows 21 cc. But on 7 uly I got blood in semen and on 13 july also but I did not feel any pain and now m not getting any blood but I am having whole body bones pain specially hips, rib cage, teeth,feet and hand. Does that significant increase in psa from 2015 to 2020 which is 2.06 ng/ml is normal or abnormal? Can I have chance of prostate cancer. I am worried too much because of my weakened bones in 2 months that I felt never before?

Hi Mr. lybrate-user getting blood in semen is not normal. It must be investigated thoroughly. You must get semen analysis done from laboratory and also semen culture for infection.
The chances of having prostate cancer at this age are very rare, it could be infection or some other cause.
Since you also have multiple bony pains, it also needs to be investigated. It can be deficiency of vit d or calcium or may be a metabolic disease.
Consult a urologist and follow his advice.

I am sorry to hear about your concern, but I will be happy to assist you.
Ovarian cancer is rare in women younger than 40. The percentage of ovarian cancer-related deaths in the same age group was less than 1 percent. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
