Psa test shown low reading - 0.140 after surgery but start increasing gradually since then. Now psa stands at 18 and just had 2nd pet scan. 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.

Shift means stopping chemo and that is not good.
Consequences of leaving it untreated- differs from patient to patient.

Hello-
hypogonadism is a condition that occurs when the body's sex glands, the testes for males and ovaries for females, produce little or no hormones. For males with hypogonadism, low testosterone can affect the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs, including the testes, penis and prostate.

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.

Without prompt treatment, invasive ductal carcinoma can spread to lymph nodes or blood vessels and metastasize (spread) throughout the body. Identifying characteristics of the tumor, such as whether or not the cells are sensitive to certain hormones, can help your doctor choose the best treatment.
