Fear of Prostate Cancer (i'm new here)

[hades192]

Hi.

My age: 20

Period of having this problem: around 11 months now where the pain would suddenly start out of the blue.

I've been living in Thailand for about a year and a half and I have been going to about 3 different hospitals with 3 different doctors thinking that they might know my diagnosis. I have been told that I have kidney stones, a failing kidney and recently a swollen prostate.

I have been put on Tramadols & also augmentin medication for my "swollen prostate"

a night after the Tramadol finished, i felt a sharp pain on my left side, maybe a couple of cm's above my waistline and then my left leg went completely numb with allot of pain. When i tried to sit down or stand up i would start getting really hot, my vision was blurry and i constantly felt like i wanted to vomit. only when i laid down i started feeling a bit better.

Symptoms I have:

- occasional hiccups and then a day afterwards my pains would start

- urinating blood

- back pains

- vomiting - clear, sometimes yellow, sometimes stomach acid

- nausea

- fever

- testicle pains

- slight pelvis pains

- sometimes diarrhea

You have a lot going on there. What I can tell you is that the test for prostate cancer is fairly quick and straight forward. If a little embarrassing.

Basically the doc' inserts a well lubricated finger into your rectum and feels for abnormalities. Takes a couple of minutes and is painless.

At 20, prostate cancer is highly unlikely, but you should get a PSA test and a digital exam to rule it out. Saw Palmetto and zinc provide essential nourishment to the prostate.
