Many people are still very ignorant about this condition known as cancer of the prostate. they think they really know all there is to know about it but they are dead wrong. And in case you have never heard of this statement before, you should now – ignorance is NOT bliss when it comes to your health. It’s important to know all there is to know about prostate-cancer, if you are worried about it. This article helps to provide you with some of the important statistics of this condition. Knowing them will give you a better understanding.

They say there is no cure for cancer, and perhaps they are right to some degree; with the level of variation that the disease presents, the number of casualties documented annually in the United States alone, with the different approaches to dealing with the condition, and considering the variety of the results that are often obtained, of course there is no cure for cancer; at least not a definitive one, and certainly not yet. But I suppose in some sense you could argue that prostate cancer is indeed curable. This might be startling to you if you were just privy to the unfriendly statistics of the malignancy of the prostate. Keep reading nonetheless. You will learn things you didn’t know before today.

•    It is the ninth most common cancer in the whole world, not just in the United States•    It is the second most common cancer among men in the United States, after skin cancer•    It is the second most common cause of cancer deaths among men in the United States, after lung cancer•    Over 230,000 new cases of this condition are diagnosed annually•    Over 27,000 casualties from prostate type of cancer alone each year•    No early symptoms of the condition.

Facts like that would scare anybody, especially the symptoms part. I mean, how can you cure a disease that has no early symptoms; how on earth do you know that you have the man killer disease?

Simple and straightforward enough questions; the statement was not that there are no symptoms for prostate cancer, but that there are no early symptoms of the melanoma. that means that during the initial incidence and development of the disease, you won’t even feel a thing. And if you go on living your merry life from there, you would only be giving it a chance to fester, and grow, and metastasize… and kill you. Perish the thought!

MANILA, Philippines – At least 891 people were injured by firecrackers and stray bullets during the New Year revelry, the Department of Health said Monday.

Based on the latest DOH data, 844 people were injured by firecrackers, 36 were hit by stray bullets and 11 were hurt after ingesting firecrackers.

The casualty count is 13% lower than last year’s total of 1,028 casualties, according to Dr. Eric Tayag of the DOH’s National Epidemiology Center.

Tayag said the leading cause of injuries is piccolo, followed by kwitis and 5-star.

He said most of the victims waited for 5 days before going to the hospital for treatment.

The DOH is now on tetanus alert in anticipation of the surge of complications from untreated firecracker injuries. Tayag said they are treating all victims of firecrackers as serious cases.

Manifestations of tetanus come out as early as 3 days to one month. Among the symptoms of tetanus are headache,lockjaw, high fever and weakness.

"Yung mga galing na sa ospital na naputukan dapat nyong tiyakin na nabigyan kayo ng anti tetanus na bakuna. Kung wala, kailangan niyong bumalik," he said.

So, question: what are signs and symptoms of prostate cancer?

Answer: Pain, slow and gradually building pain that eventually gets to be blinding; and bleeding…

During development, prostate cancer often eventually causes difficult or painful urination, which may become frequent urination, especially at night; and also blood in the urine or semen. There are times when you might feel some pain also in your lower back, your pelvis, and/or in your upper thighs; this would indicate that the mutated prostate cancer cells have eventually metastasized to your ribs, pelvis, and other bones, which is not too uncommon. You may end up with some degree of urinary dysfunction and also some problems with sexual function and performance, such as difficulty achieving erection or painful ejaculation. And finally, late stage or advanced prostate cancer can cause metastatic prostate tumors in your spine to compress your spinal cord and result in leg weakness and urinary and fecal incontinence.

However, these happen when you allow the disease to get beyond the initial early stage, which you must not. find a way; get in touch with your doctor as soon as you are at increased risk, and have yourself tested to see if there is a growing tumor inside your prostate gland. You are at increased risk of prostate cancer when you cross the forty year old mark.
