Question : How do cardic defibrillator’s affect quality of life, ability to work?
My brother who is not yet 40 just had quadruple bypass surgery, and the Dr’s then decided it would be best for him to also have an ICD or cadiac defibrillator. I am wondering about his quality of life with the ICD and on his chances of returning to work. He has always done fast food, or hard labor. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, do you feel better since or not?

What does treatment for prostate cancer consist of, and does it affect a male’s ability to have sex?

Question : What does treatment for prostate cancer consist of, and does it affect a male’s ability to have sex?
A very close friend of ours has been diagnosed with prostate cancer (it really *isn’t* my partner or me!) and we were wondering what his treatment options might be.

If the prostate gland is removed, does that eliminate the ability to have sex?

Probably best to have an older person answer this: it’s pretty obvious by the question that this is going to be completely out of the realm of experience for most of the teenagers.

It can, but new surgical techniques have reduced the risk. I was diagnosed with it about a year ago, but a second opinion from Johns-Hopkins said no. At least not yet. Anyhow, there are a number of different treatments that depend on the age of the patient and the stage of the disease. At my age, 50, and the very early preliminary diagnosis, removal was recommended. There is a new procedure called the da Vinci procedure that is minimally invasive and less likely to lead to the nerve damage that causes impotence. However, it is still a risk, as well as a risk of urinary incontinence. And even if you are not impotent, your orgasms will be dry – seminal fluid is produced by the prostate. There are also other procedures, such as implanting radioactive ‘seeds’ into the prostate. It is my understanding that the risk of impotence from that or any other radiation procedure is higher than da Vinci surgery, but less than with traditional surgery. Chemo and broader irradiation can be recommended in more advanced cases.
My brother had the daVinci procedure, and he is able to have sex. He uses a penile constriction band to maintain an erection; I don’t know whether he had any ED problems before. He is able to have orgasms, but as I said, they are dry.
Sometimes, again depending on the age,the stage, and how aggressive the cancer, they will recommend leaving it alone. Don’t bank on that, though.

Here’s a link with info on the daVinci procedure.
Tell your friend my thoughts and prayers are with him. I know how scary this is. I have to have regular biopsies to keep track of mine, and every time I go through hell waiting for the results.

The most important factors in the purchase decision-making ability of a mattress

There are a number of mattresses on the market, many factors are involved when buying a mattress. 1st There are a huge range of mattresses on the market, some are cheap, and some are expensive, it is up to you what you give you. If you have a limited budget, it is better to take a cheap, is affordable for you purchase. But I recommend the best mattresses available on the market, or a box spring you can afford. I recommend you, because I’ve bought, have the mattresses, which were based on the cost and I feel relaxed on her, and then I arrange my budget and buy the mattress, which was best on the market. Now I feel much more relaxed and fresh while taking sleep on it. 2nd Size is an important factor when buying a mattress. If you are on a mattress for the boys then I buy I propose you to comment on a twin-size mattress. And if you buy for a great person and two people are there to it then I recommend you to a queen-size mattress to take. If you are in a position to have a king-size companies, I recommend that one. Now I have a king and I enjoy it as it is more convenient, with plenty of room for me and my buddy. If you think that a large full-size mattress is enough and takes more space in your room then have to think that it allows each person the same amount of bed width as in a cot. Queen-size mattress is also affordable for two people, but in 10 5 inch size are less readily available if a single person compared to a double bed. The standard sizes of mattresses in the market are available: Double / Full: 54 “wide, 75″ long; Queen: 60 “wide, 80″ long, KING: 76 “wide, 80″ long; Twin: 39 “wide, 75 “long, Twin Extra Long: 38″ wide, 80 “long; California King: 72″ wide, 84 “long. 3rd Third most important priority when buying a mattress is its comfort, softness and strength. Visit various shops and check these things by lying on the mattress. Firm mattress is not a good choice because it depends on the individual. If you and your colleagues with interest at different levels of resistance are then the mattress with different strength levels, can check on each page. In the end, if your budget is not a problem for you when buying a mattress, comfort then could be your first priority. 4th This should clear up that you never by name or brand, firm or extra firm will have no meaning, the real thing is that you can enjoy comfort. You must be happy and relaxed while lying on the mattress. Visit think any business in a way that you can understand that it’s a stupid job. Try to reach your destination and then at the end of your choice. Try your coat and shoes lying on the mattress, so you get to know the real comfort of it.
