Prostate Cancer Treatments and Side Effects
There are a few options when it comes to prostate cancer treatments. One is surgery. Another is chemotherapy. Others include chryotherapy, radiation therapy, and “watchful waiting.” “Watchful waiting” is not really considered treatment, but it is a form of patient management. Your doctor discusses your options, and his recommended treatment will depend on your age and life expectancy, some pre-existing conditions and diseases that you have, and, of course, your personal concerns and preferences.These prostate cancer treatments, by the way, may have side effects that will definitely affect your lifestyle. Some of the side effects are urination and urine issues such as leakage, and erectile dysfunction.
