Collect Many Beads!

Happy Carnivale! It is Fat Tuesday - a day to indulge before the fasting of Lent. Though many of us do plenty of reveling without the subsequent fasting. And, that, my Faithful Readers, is quite alright. Enjoy the day!

Would You Choose It?

All you straight guys who get a bit queasy when thinking about the need for a prostate exam will be quite happy to know a new un-intrusive test may be available soon. All you need to do is pee in a cup...which we all know is easy enough.

Researchers in England say the new test shows great promise. According to Healthline.com the initial clinical trial showed great promise.

"The pilot group involved 155 men in urology clinics. Of this group, 58 had prostate cancer, 24 had bladder cancer, and 73 had urological problems without cancer.

The researchers used a gas chromatography (GC) sensor system called Odoreader that is able to identify different patterns of volatile compounds in the urine.“The results of the pilot study presented here indicate that the GC system is able to successfully identify patterns that allow classification of urine samples from patients with urological cancers,” the study authors wrote.

Klein explained that cancers produce distinct chemicals because of their specific biochemistry. These can be picked up under the right circumstances.

“If you use the right technology, you can detect these abnormal chemicals,” he said."

I think most of us, if given the choice, would much rather piss into a cup.

The best news is, according to the findings, this test should provide faster, and more accurate results of early-stage prostate cancers resulting in far fewer intrusive biopsies.

Until the clinical trials are complete, and until the FDA approves the methods, we'll still have to rely on the old standby's: PSA blood work (rapidly falling out of favor),

and the old Digital Rectal Exam (DRE). And, as those of us who've been through them more than once, not all DREs are created equal. Some doctors are good at it

And, guys... Please remember that popping a boner during a prostate exam can happen.

If not a full hard-on,

it's very typical to experience at least a little bit of penile engorgement, a semi-, as the finger(s) prevent the flow of blood out of the penis.

Yes, it is even possible to leak a bit of pre-cum. Your doctor knows this, your doctor expects this. There is no reason to be embarrassed.

If the option were available, would you choose it?

A Bit of Wood

 

Speaking of pissing... Went to a show the other night; a small (150 seat) but full house. The venue has one men's restroom, which was out of order, and one women's (single stall). The line  stretched down the hall as everyone waited. One man in the middle of the line decided he couldn't wait..."Well, here's to parking lots!" and he walked out. A number of us guys followed to female voices: "Gross." "That's disgusting." Even a "Neanderthals." I shrugged, "The advantage of being a man." LOL.

Had the Ultrsound done on my balls yesterday.

A woman this time. I could tell by her demeanor that she was not happy about having to do it. Curt, almost to the point of rude. After inquiring about the issues, she had me pull my cock up against my abs...

7

OK, not a problem. I removed my hand from under the towel. "No, you have to hold onto it."

8

Then she made me cross my legs at the ankles so my balls were pushed up between my thighs, "I don't want anything moving."

9

I think she just wanted to ensure I didn't pop wood.

10

11

She needn't have worried, she had me cringing in pain several times. Gentle she was not. Ah, the disadvantage of being a man. Now I know what my wife feels like during her Mammograms. It would've been impossible to cover the varicoceles with the way she had me positioned. Not to mention, she didn't do the perineum at all.

12

I have a suspicion I'll be going in for another Ultrasound before we can get anything resolved.

13

But, if I have to do it over, the next time I'll insist on a male technician who isn't so damn skittish about the possibility of a bit of wood developing.

What's a boner between a medical professional and a patient, anyway?
