Patient's question:
This past year, my neurasthenia has become increasingly severe. Since last month, I've been awake for longer periods than I'm asleep, waking up frequently after only a short amount of sleep. Now, I often need to use the restroom at night, experiencing difficulty urinating, slow urination, prolonged urination time, urinary urgency, dysuria, and a feeling of incomplete urination. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as prostate cancer. I'm unsure of what to do?Doctor's answer:
Radiation Therapy and Cryotherapy for Prostate Cancer: Currently, external beam photon radiation therapy has become the primary decision-making method for prostate cancer patients in understanding radiation therapy. Although it is very difficult to compare the efficacy of surgical therapy with external beam therapy, the condition of prostate cancer tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication maintenance. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to promptly seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
