please, this is a serious question.

this is not meant to be perverted or funny in anyway, so please don%26#039;t give back perverted or funny answers.

my 4 month old dog is planning to get neutered next month, but based on what my vet said, only one of his balls have dropped, and if both do not drop by the day of the surgery he cannot get neutered and will need to get a different type of surgery so he won%26#039;t get prostate cancer.

i want to know how i can check if both have dropped.

i tried copying what my vet did but i absolutely cannot feel a difference.

i don%26#039;t want to have to take my dog back to the vet and pay a 50 dollar examination fee just to check if his balls have dropped, so i would like to know if there is a way i can find out myself.

again, no perverted and/or %26#039;funny%26#039; answers please. i am being serious in every way.|||It shouldn%26#039;t make a difference.. You take your dog in for neutering, and if they are both there, the vet neuters like usual. If you show up and only 1 testicle is there, he just needs to locate the other and remove it too. Put your dog up on the table, lift his front end slightly so his two front feet are just up off the table., Take two fingers and slide them down his belly towards where his testicles would be.. Feel his sack and see if you can fee 2 testicles.. They are tiny little things at 16 weeks of age, so sometimes it can be harder to tell..|||Some dogs won%26#039;t drop both testicles so he may not. I would imagine if he has a retained testicle that the vet would then operate to remove it when he does the neutering.|||Basically, you feel them, there%26#039;s really no other way. If there%26#039;s only one, it%26#039;s pretty obvious. However, depending upon the size of the dog, they could be pretty small. You would think that your dog%26#039;s testicles would have dropped by now, but sometimes a dog will take longer.

If the dog is crytorochid, the technical term for having retained testicles, the regular castration procedure can%26#039;t be used. Instead, the vet has to make an incision in the abdomen, locate the retained testicle and remove it. Otherwise, it%26#039;s pretty simple to make an incision in the scrotum and remove the testicles through that.

If the other one hasn%26#039;t descended by the time you are scheduled for the surgery, the vet at the shelter should be able to advise you of that. In that case, you could wait until the dog is 6 months old or so. If it hasn%26#039;t dropped by then, the chances get pretty slim, and the more complex surgery will be more likely.|||It takes some dogs longer to drop than others. If you can just wait a couple months. He is still very young. It may take a little longer but it is just the way dogs are. Do not worry if they do not even at 6 mos. The surgery is not that much more complicated.|||They usually say they should both drop by 6 months. If they retain one or both testicles, they are said to be cryptorchid. They can still neutered, but they usually have to make an incision and sort of dig out the retained one. It makes the surgery a little more complicated, but not a big deal. It%26#039;s very common. And it is wise to get a retained testicle removed because they can become cancerous.

Are you able to feel the one testicle that the vet felt? If the other side feels the same, like a small marble, then they have both dropped. If you feel 2 small %26quot;lumps%26quot;, it may have happened since your last vet visit. If possible, I%26#039;d wait until he%26#039;s 6 months, and by then there should be no confusion.

If it%26#039;s any consolation, my dog retained one until exactly 1 week before his 6 month neuter was scheduled, so I faced the same dilemma.

Good luck.|||If you can feel both, then they are both down.

A surgery like this is more invasive and therefore, I feel should be done by a vet who has experience in this. Ask the shelter if their vet is familiar with castration of a cryptorchid or monorchid dog.|||You can see them.

My grandfather went to court and on lawsuit against an absetcis( I know that I did not spell it right, basically, it%26#039;s the stuff they use to put around pipes), he did this for twenty years and developed prostate cancer. His court case his taken eight years, his lawyers are greassy slugs, tryping to cheap him because he is old. He got a large amount out of it, but like I said before, it%26#039;s been over a eight year span, what can he do? how can he talk too? He called the bar association, he said they did nothing..

Thanks|||Asbestos. He can call another attorney. He can fire his present lawyers and the new one will pay them a share of the claim, he won%26#039;t have to. Lots of attorneys specialize in this type of case. Where does he live?|||civil suits take a long time….and it probably wasn%26#039;t HIS attorneys that were causing the delay.

Plaintiff%26#039;s attorneys want to get paid yesterday….the odds are that the defendant%26#039;s attorneys were the ones dragging the case out.

Besides you said he got a large amount of money out of it, meaning the case is over…what are you complaining about?|||Talk to the bailiff of the judge who decided the case. Ask the bailiff what time frame the loosing side had to pay up.

Also ask if the company has paid in full or not, it could be that your grandfather%26#039;s lawyers are taking too big of a chunk out for themselves.

If the loosing side has not paid in full, ask what can be done about it. The bailiff will be able to guide you a bit better in this matter than the peanut gallery here.

My grandfather has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and is being treated with chemo, but the doctor says that it has already spread too far, and he could pass away in 2 weeks, or two years.. but no more than two years

im very upset because i love him very much, and we wont even be able to see me graduate school… also a bestfriend screwed me over, i feel that i am losing feelings for my boyfriend, and my parents are taking their grief out on me….

it seems like there is no where to turn, i just dont know what to do anymore…. any advice?

also, music helps me get through .. are there any songs that could relate?|||It is a hard place to be in but do the best you can when you visist and visit often…..everyone is upset right now so try as much as you can to understand this…if you need to talk to someone like your friend or family that may help you get threw some of this you will always be sad by your lost but know he won%26#039;t be in any pain which he is I%26#039;m sure so take care|||At my current age, I need to prepare myself for my older generation%26#039;s passing away. One of my uncle%26#039;s passed away last month.

The best thing you can do is make a point to give him the best of you for the remaining time. He will enjoy that more than anything.|||It%26#039;s difficult to watch someone you love slowly die. I%26#039;m sure your parents are upset about it too.

You are going through some changes during this process. Is your boyfriend supportive of your feelings? If not, maybe he has never been through anything like this and doesn%26#039;t know how to comfort you. Many people are afraid to be around death issues.

See a school counselor to work through this. Sorry I don%26#039;t know any songs for you, but she might.

I heard the the warming signs of prostate cancer is a leakage of blood from a man%26#039;s penis. Is this true or is it the warning sign of something else.|||go to Mens Health.com|||either case, there shouldnt be blood coming from there or the but - id say go to doctor asap|||It could also be from a small blood vessel that was split or bruised during the passion. Regardless what is causing it, it is not normal. See your doc ASAP. If possible, collect some of that blood and whatever fluid is coming out with it.|||IDK it could be anything but you should see a docter asap- it could be serious.

The cause, effect, and treatment on prostate cancer….. thnx soooo much!!! ur such a blessing! God Bless sir/ ma%26#039;am… ^^|||okay, you essay is about prostate cancer and so your introductory paragaraph should contain some very general overview of cancer, types of cancer and then the thesis statement…preferably the last sentence of paragraph one, which is also the intro paragraph.

*when writing an intro paragraph remember to use %26quot;the inverted pyramid%26quot; technique. start with the most general topic on cancer and then move to prostate cancer and rthen boil it down to thesis statement.

one straight to the point thesis statement cld be:

Since prostate cancer is a common disease, it would be beneficial for us to learn about the possible cause, its effects and more importantly, the available treatment for this %26#039;silent killer%26#039; among men.

or you can play around with the three aspects (cause, effect and treatment) by placing them at the beginning of the sentence….like

It would be indeed beneficial for us to learn about the possible cause, effects and more importantly, the available treatment for prostate cancer which is also known as the %26#039;silent killer%26#039; among men.

good luck|||topic + key points + opinion = thesis statement

So, I have been researching coagulated semen and I just can%26#039;t make heads or tails of what it MEANS. I understand what it is, so I don%26#039;t want any smart-mouthed comments. I haven%26#039;t exactly made it a point to inspect sperm before and my husband and I are %26quot;not trying not to%26quot; have a baby.

Sooooo, I went to the bathroom after sex and and noticed that the sperm was cottage cheesy looking. I asked my husband about it and he got all flustered and ran away to go play with his tools and stuff in the workshop. So, I can%26#039;t get any answers out of him because every time I bring it up he remembers some odd chore he needs to do.

So. What the heck does it mean? I know what it is, I know how it%26#039;s created, I even know WHY it happens… but does it mean we are going to have a tougher time conceiving? Does it mean he%26#039;s got prostate cancer? Am I just freaking out because all my past sexual experience has been with sperm enclosed in a condom and never seen?|||well you need to take into consideration the fact that the semen you are seeing is coming out of you so it%26#039;s been in contact with your secretions etc. which might make a difference. If a man%26#039;s semen doesn%26#039;t coagulate at the time of ejaculation, there could be an underlying problem with the seminal vesicles. If it doesn%26#039;t reliquify (that is, turn back into liquid approximately 30 minutes after ejaculation), there could be a problem with the man%26#039;s prostate. During infertility testing they do check this with a sample of the man%26#039;s semen… but I don%26#039;t think you can really count the results as truly meaninful since you are seeing a byproduct of intercourse as opposed to a sample that has had no outside forces acting upon it. Coagulated semen can also indicate a simple infection that can be treated with a course of antibiotics, in fact this is usually a first line response if a Semen Analysis shows the sample to be high in viscocity|||%26quot;Some men suffer from liquefaction problems, e.g. the semen remains too coagulated so that sperm is not released sufficiently after ejaculation. Liquefaction problems can indicate male accessory gland disorders (prostate gland %26amp; seminal vesicles) and hint at a history of infection.%26quot;

I know that sometimes a current prostate infection can cause coagulated semen.

I%26#039;d have him see a Dr.|||The two answers that you have already received pretty well covered it. So there%26#039;s not much more I could say. I hope that everything works out well for you and your husband…

my friend has prostate cancer and he

can not sleep. when he does sleep it

is for an hour or so at a time.

is there anything he can do to help

him sleep?|||Is pain keeping him awake? Too much sleep during day or early evening napping? Anxiety? Frequent urination? Sometimes broken sleep is a symptom of another problem. Perhaps, those needs need assessed? Cammomile tea is a relaxant and induces sleep. My friends swear by Tylenol PM, but the benedryl in the product might constrict his urinary flow from his disease unless he wears a catheter. His physician could recommend a mild sleeping pill for him as his rest is most important. He should definitely speak to his oncologist or primary care physician about this issue before taking any over the counter medications. Good Luck!|||read some boring book u will get sleep|||I don%26#039;t think that his sleeping problem is related to his cancer. Maybe something is bothering him or he just doesn%26#039;t feel tired. If his sleepless condition bothers him, then he should consult with some experts. I know that for some people, sleeping isn%26#039;t their thing, they only sleep for two to four hours a day and it doesn%26#039;t bother them. As a friend, why not ask him what bothers him? see if he would let out his problem by talking…

What sometimes I do… is to make myself be physically tired, like exercising; running or something.~

Good luck, I hope these are helpful tips.|||He needs to see a doctor and find out why he can%26#039;t sleep in particular. Sometimes slowly counting backwards from 100 helps me. When nothing else works, I use Xanax to sleep, though.

I am going celebate(no sex, masturbation, kissing, etc…) and I wanted to know if not releasing your sperm is bad for your health. Will I get prostate cancer if it builds up for years or is that a myth. Is there any other problems that may occur.

Masturbating will help stave off temptation-trust me.

http://www.herbal-sexaphrodisiac-libidus…|||Teens who don%26#039;t masturbate (rare, but it happens) just have wet dreams to get rid of the sperm buildup.

guiliani has a new anti-universal health care ad where he claims that the prostate cancer survival rate in england is poor (44% vs 80% for americans) because socialized medicine is terrible and doesnt work. turns out that his numbers are completely wrong and instead of getting his info from doctors/medical journals/ect he got them from a right wing political magazine. (numbers for britain are 75%) rudy refused to pull the ad so he is knowingly lying to the public about a major issue and it isnt the first time he has been flat out caught telling idiotic lies. please tell me why some of you republicans are still backing this man who supports his stance with lies and has been so stupid as to have been caught telling obvious whoppers! geez a liar is bad but a stupid liar is kind of insulting isnt it?|||Screw the numbers, the premise is wrong. Access to health care which leads to prostate cancer screening and early detection and treatment leads to a high survival rate. Universal health care provides these services. There are millions of men without coverage and some of them that do have it still aren%26#039;t covered for certain screenings. So, the notion that more coverage=a lower survival rate of prostate cancer is ludicrous|||Politicians like Giuliani does not correct their mistakes because it will be disastrous to their campaign.

but smart, most Americans are not.|||I find it utterly hilarious that some Americans still like this guy. These people are great. Real people should own them for entertainment while occasionally giving them someone wearing a turban to bark at.

Sadly the truth is that the ad will not be pulled because this disparity will not be widely reported due to generous kickbacks of Federal Matching Funds (i.e. your tax dollars) which is perfectly legal. Only way the **** starts to stink is if some brave soul fans it to the public. In America, that%26#039;ll probably be Stephen Colbert (unless he%26#039;s too busy campaigning, in which case Jon Stewart).|||It%26#039;s phony, like everything else about him.|||if you want government run health care just look at the VA. Universal care is rationed care. All countries that have that model do that and your life is on the line. When will that test showing cancer be done. Now as we have it or in 4 months like in Canada and oh by then the cancer spread and it%26#039;s too late now. Canada%26#039;s own Parliament members have dashed across the border for US health care since they would die waiting in Canada. Second, the Canadians use the US hospitals for overflow because there%26#039;s no money for new hospitals. Wow and this Capitalist system doesn%26#039;t work?

It is due to a tear in one of the fragile veins of the prostate. The prostate is the organ that produces the majority of the seminal fluid in response to sexual stimulation. When the prostate contracts at the time of ejaculation, a vein may tear and blood mixes with the semen (hematospermia). Red blood indicates new and dark (brownish) discoloration indicates previous bleeding. Prostatic bleeding often is associated with gross blood during urination. This typically will occur with initiation or at the end of urination (as opposed to being throughout the entire stream). With the latter, it is often manifest as spots of blood on the underwear or pajamas. Irritation of the gland (prostatitis) can also cause it to become inflamed and predisposed to bleed. Some factors leading to inflammation include too frequent or too infrequent ejaculation, sexual arousal without ejaculation, withdraw at the time of ejaculation, excessive alcohol or spicy foods, prolonged sitting or bike riding, etc. The prostate may then become secondarily infected and require antibiotic therapy for cure. Sometimes as the prostate gradually enlarges with age, friable veins called varices develop on its surface. These are also prone to tearing. In such cases, Proscar is sometimes prescribed to?shrink both the prostate and the veins. Although hematospermia is not a typical sign of prostate cancer, its presence may indicate an increased risk of prostate cancer.

There are other causes for such bleeding. It may be that you have a lesion such as a small stone, growth or wart (papilloma) in the urethra causing this. Regardless, it is advisable to seek consultation with a urologist to evaluate this condition.
