Shelly Gordon: Tell us a little bit about when you were diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.

Patient (Thomas Newall): I learned I had Prostate Cancer December 2016. That event changed my life. I was on a trip to Washington D.C. and I noticed I had some blood in my urine. And I always felt like I had the need to go. So I called my Primary back here in Boston and gave him my symptoms and everything and he advised me to go to the emergency room right away down in the D.C. area but I had to wait until I got back to Boston. Which I did, I went to the emergency room right away. They did some tests, gave me some medication and told me to have a follow up with a Urologist. Which I did two days later with the Urologist I have, Dr. Gluck. He wanted to do a biopsy on me right away because he saw the symptoms I was going through.

Prevention is an integral part of a person’s healthcare. For adult women nearing 60 years of age, it’s all the more important to know the current status of their health. If you aim to enjoy your life even at that age, you have to be aware of your overall health.

There are a couple of variables that significantly impact your overall health: genetics and your lifestyle. Both influence every symptom that your body may feel and health condition you may have, and aging is a factor that compounds them. Although you can’t prevent aging and alter your genetics, you can change your lifestyle. It takes having the initiative and the right mindset to do that before reaching 60, a tender age for a woman.

Regardless of how great you feel, you have to get yourself checked to know how healthy you really are. Taking action means being proactive and setting appointments for screenings, check-ups, treatments, and therapies. Learn about the tests and procedures women should have before reaching 60 in this article.

Q: I am a 31 year old male. I want to know if varicocele affects sperm?

A: A varicocele may affect fertility.

I once received an anonymous letter at my office which changed my practice.  As a urologist for 30 years, I have spent much of my career devoted to helping men with erectile dysfunction.  It was after helping a man that I received the “anonymous” letter.  Like a frightening ransom note, the letters were cut and pasted from magazines.  The author was pleading with me to stop helping because, as a wife with her own difficulties, she was unable to participate in sex. She went on to question: what could I possibly offer to help her?
