Caring for the Prostate

Allan Russell Juriansz

Description

The prostate is pivotal in a man’s sexual health. A prostate free of infection and other preventable problems is vital to a healthy and happy sex life. The sex life of his partner is similarly ensured to be happy and contented. It assumes that the partner takes every precaution to be healthy as well. Love is the best foundation on which to build happiness. And a love partnership is the most valuable asset in a relationship. The prostate however is only one item, perhaps the central one, in the male sexual armamentarium. It complains the most when it is not healthy. A healthy prostate will reward both partners with the greatest sexual happiness available in this mortal life.

PREFACE
Caring for your prostate is caring for your sex life. In this book I discuss several peripheral topics that are relevant to your sex life. Knowing about these and understanding how to manage them is very important.
I have now practiced as a urologist for 50 years. I performed urological surgery until 2005. Since then, I have been a non-operating consultant. While I see all referrals with urological problems, those requiring surgery I refer to my urological colleagues who are doing surgery. I care for my patients in an office practice. Many of those I see requiring surgery do see me postoperatively as well. A large part of my practice has been caring for prostate problems and I feel I have come to understand the prostate quite well and how prostate problems cause trouble. Much can be done to prevent prostate problems.
Women do not have prostates. The Glands of Skene are thought to be the equivalent of the prostate in women. Problems with these glands are usually cared for by gynecologists. But I do see women regarding many urological problems and the occasional woman with problems with the Glands of Skene. But this is not the subject of this book.
I have come to believe that good care of the prostate can obviate most of the problems encountered, except for age related enlargement and prostate cancer, which are no respecters of men, and can attack any man, irrespective of good care. Prostate cancer can run in the family besides being sporadic. Generally, urologists quote a familial incidence to be 30% higher. Recent research estimates genetic factors to have a 40-50% penetrance (see Giri et al (2016) in Bibliography).
While I intend to pay major attention in this book to the health of the prostate, I realize that it has to be within the context of the urogenital system and sexuality. Therefore, since the prostate is one unit of the sexual chain there will be significant attention paid to the whole sexual unit. The prostate is the most symptomatic and disease prone item in the sexual chain. There is no sexual enjoyment when the prostate is sick. A healthy prostate is pivotal to an enjoyable sex life.
I want to avoid medical jargon in this brief book. This will help the nonmedical person to understand the subject. There will be unavoidable use of some terms which are cumbersome, but which I will do my best to explain. Generally, doctors are prone to have difficulty communicating well with their patients, and surgeons are prone to spend less than optimal time talking to their patients. I have been guilty of this in times past, but since I no longer perform surgical procedures, I have more time to converse with my patients. This I have come to enjoy greatly. I still miss the stress and satisfaction which surgery gave me.
I have read many medical books written about the prostate by experts in my field, many of which are outstanding. I will append a bibliography at the end of this book. But I am still to come across a down to earth book of advice in lay language which covers the scope of caring for the prostate as a part of sexual life. I hope this book fills that gap.
I will mention my general and medical training. I obtained a Bachelor of Education degree from Avondale University in Australia. My MD medical degree was from Sydney University Medical School also in Australia. This was granted as MB, BS but is the equivalent to the North American MD degree. In Canada for registration to practice I had to pass the final year examinations, the same as all Canadian final year medical students. My entire urological training was within the University of Toronto Teaching Hospitals. I qualified for the CRCSC (Certification) in specialist urological surgery, and FRCSC (Fellowship) in academic urological surgery, both degrees granted by examination with The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. I have practiced urology in Toronto except for a five-year hiatus after retiring from surgery, when I practiced as a consultant in urology in New South Wales in Australia. I am back in Toronto since 2011. My pediatric urology training was at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, where I spent two years. The first year was as Research Fellow in Urology, then six months as Chief Resident in Urology. Finally six months as staff urological surgeon. Subsequently my wife and I went on Mission Service to the Far East for three years. This we enjoyed tremendously.
On return I attended at the North York Branson Hospital, the Humber River Regional Hospital, and latterly at North York General Hospital.
