If a man's prostate cancer becomes high-risk or begins to spread, he has two treatment options: surgery to remove the prostate or radiation to destroy the cancer cells. While both are equally good at controlling cancer, research has found that radiation often produces better quality of life over the long term. There are two ways to deliver radiation to the prostate: external beam radiation and brachytherapy.

Middle-aged men who often feel worried or anxious may be more prone to problems that raise heart disease risk as they age compared with their less-worried peers.

The FDA has approved a new medication therapy for advanced prostate cancer that is spreading in the body. The new treatment can seek out and destroy tumors that are still too small to be found via conventional medical imaging. Results of a clinical trial showed that this new drug was effective at delaying cancer progression.

Taking a multivitamin does not reduce the chance of heart disease or mental decline, but it does reduce the risk of being diagnosed with cancer or developing cataracts.

A persistent cough that lasts longer than a few weeks can be worrisome, but for nonsmokers, the most common causes include asthma, bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and medication for high blood pressure.

Today, most surgeries to remove the prostate gland in men with prostate cancer are performed with robotic assistance, which ostensibly offers quality-of-life advantages. But how does this method compare with traditional open surgery? A recent study provides some clarity.

A 2021 study suggests that sildenafil (Viagra, Revatio), which is used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, might also protect against Alzheimer's disease.

While specific health problems can affect men's sexual performance and stamina, it's how they respond to these obstacles that can pose the greatest challenge. Worrying about how conditions may cause physical limitations or possible health risks during intimacy can make sex more stressful. However, with a few adjustments, men can often navigate around health issues like heart disease, arthritis, and back pain so sex is safer and more enjoyable.
