Does a vasectomy cause prostate cancer? Will treatment inevitably ruin your sex life? Can changing your diet cure the disease outright? Myths like these spread fast and worry men needlessly. Here is a measured, evidence-based look at five of the most common, plus the focal-therapy perspective that so many popular discussions quietly leave out. keep reading

Could saying "I do" actually help a man live longer? When it comes to prostate cancer, the research is surprisingly consistent across decades. Married patients tend to be diagnosed earlier and survive longer than their unmarried peers, and new data now suggests the protective effect of marriage may extend to lowering cancer risk in the first place. keep reading

June is Men's Health Month, but real wellness doesn't run on a calendar. Annual PSA screenings, heart-protective habits, and acknowledging the quiet toll that stress and anxiety take — these aren't seasonal concerns. They're the foundation of a longer, healthier life. keep reading

SUMMARY: Prostate cancer develops when DNA damage causes prostate cells to grow abnormally, and oxidative stress from free radicals is a factor that contributes to these changes. Research has not shown that antioxidant supplements prevent prostate cancer, but diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and other antioxidant-containing foods may help support the body’s natural protective mechanisms. keep reading

By age 50, BPH is the most common prostate problem men face. The prostate enlarges, squeezes the urethra, and suddenly urination becomes a daily struggle. Medication helps in mild cases, but when symptoms get worse, minimally invasive procedures can restore normal flow — no major surgery required. Here’s what those options look like. keep reading

For decades, men have faced a coin flip after a high PSA result: biopsy or nothing. A major study of nearly 18,000 men suggests there's a smarter middle step — MRI. Used as a filter between PSA and biopsy, it identifies who truly needs further evaluation and cuts unnecessary overtreatment in half. keep reading

Your prostate has a secret line of defense that scientists only just discovered. Specialized immune cells called T cells travel to the prostate and stay there for months or years, standing guard against infection. Now researchers believe the same process that protects mouse prostates may apply to humans, and it could open a new door in prostate cancer treatment. keep reading

A New York Times reporter did solid work exposing the harms of PSA overscreening but missed something important. Between radical treatment and watchful waiting sits focal therapy: a minimally invasive, targeted option that the NCCN now recognizes, and that mpMRI makes more precise than ever. keep reading

Focal therapy destroys a prostate tumor while leaving healthy tissue intact. But once treatment is done, how do doctors know if it worked? A structured follow-up protocol using mpMRI is the current standard. Now a newly proposed PSMA-based scoring system called PSMA-FAB is aiming to complement that approach. keep reading

One in three men on Active Surveillance eventually stops, not because their cancer worsened, but because of fear. A new study suggests better imaging could change that. Researchers found that combining mpMRI with PSMA-PET nearly doubled detection rates for clinically significant prostate cancer, and helped 18% of patients avoid an unnecessary biopsy. keep reading
