Dr. David Samadi speaks at Rambam Health Care Campus’ second annual Rambam Summit. Dr. Samadi performed Rambam’s very first robotic prostatectomy procedure using his unique SMART (Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique) surgery technique in December of 2010 as part of a global initiative to spread knowledge of prostate cancer and robotic treatment options.

Drs. David Samadi and Mark Siegel discuss new healthcare reform policies being considered by the Obama administration and the implications for many medical procedures that are provided to people and paid for by government programs. For example, robotic prostate surgery, a procedure that is performed by highly skilled surgeons, like Dr. Samadi, will be reviewed by an independent Medicare Advisory Board that will consider if the procedure is necessary or unnecessary based on the review of general treatment outcome data and overall costs. It’s unclear if the Board will consider the performance of individual surgeons and health care providers in its decision to pay for robotic prostate cancer surgeries in the future.

Prostate cancer prevention services have despite increased awareness, always struggled with the reluctance of men to talk about their health and to seek help. However, there is much that can be done and the following 5 tips can help to reduce your risk.

1) Accept Prostate Screening.

Prostate Screening has admittedly suffered from a muted response in the UK, However, recent research published in the New England Journal of Medicine which examined the potential impact of Prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening programme has led to calls from the Prostate Cancer Charity to establish a UK National screening Committee. A major reason for this is sheer numbers – prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the UK – over 35,000 men are affected every year.

2) Ease off on the High Fat Foods

Research carried out by the Mayo Clinic in the US, has suggested that a diet high in saturated fats – an example being the animal fats found in red meat, may result in a higher possibility of prostate cancer.

3) Hit the Fruit & Vegetables

A link has been found between those diets high in fruits and vegetables and a lowering of various kinds of cancer

4) Favour Fish

It is advisable to maintain a regular intake of omega-3 fatty acids. This good fat, which can be found in certain cold water fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel, seems to lower the odds of getting a range of cancers.

5) Enjoy the sunshine

Used sensibly, catching the sun can be of immense benefit. Research into men living in the sunniest states in the US, found a 32% lower prostate cancer risk. The explanation appears to lie in Vitamin D, which we obtain from the sun. If worried about possible side effects to your skin get your Vitamin D from Cod Liver oil instead.

The increasing number of prostate cancer has encouraged number of studies from different countries. Each country would like to figure out what is the root of this horrifying trend. Deficiency in a certain nutrient or excessive ingestion of a mineral has been found to affect prostate’s health. There is another issue that is not clear in public until now. This factor that the medical field would like to zoom into is the role of prostate milking in preventing the prostate cancer.

Certain problems in prostate can actually be signs of prostate cancer. An enlarged prostate is the usual symptom that tells if the gland is sick. One way to prevent the largeness is to do a prostate massage. This sensual yet gentle stimulation can lead to a pleasurable feeling that is better than the normal orgasm. I can attest to that. Moreover, the massage can free the prostate from developing a cancer in the future.

Let’s head straight to the “why?” or what made prostate milking a preventive practice that fights off the painful cancer? When you massage this part of your reproductive system, you also stimulate the blood low within its veins. As an effect, your prostate is oxygenized. Also, this is a great way to cleanse the insides of the gland, and push out the bacteria that are accumulated inside. These bacteria maybe the culprit could start the development of cancer within your prostate. Therefore, the best combination to keep a healthy prostate is with proper diet and lifestyle, hand-in-hand with regular prostate massage.

From the researches I have read, there are only two options available if we disregard prostate massage as a preventive measure or even a treatment for some prostate diseases. The first one is though drug intake and the last one is surgery. These two have side effects that would make life difficult for the patient. If we have it compared with the massage, the sensual touching of the prostate would definitely win, and as it only have positive effects. It is all good unless, you weren’t observing the proper way to massage the gland.

You have to learn and practice the massage by yourself or with a help of a toy. You may also do it with your lover. The toy that I am talking about is a prostate massager. This is a tool that is usually made of silicone. Yielded and engineered in a way that would please you and improve the health of your prostate. Again, proper preparation is needed. So, wash your whole body, trim your nails, use some lubricants, and be relaxed. These are some of the most important procedures you have to do, prior to this technique.

Also, during the course of the massage, you may feel like you are about to urinate. There is nothing to be afraid of as this is just normal. Allow yourself to enjoy the feeling, and let the sensations linger throughout your body. After a few moments, you will feel that you are about to orgasm. The experience is very much similar to your usual release but this one is way luxurious. In fact, some men claim that is our version of multiple orgasms.

It could get a little messy so you should prepare some paper towels. The fluid that you will release has a lighter consistency. These are the alkaline substances found inside of your prostate. It is the same component that goes along with your sperm cells. The role of this fluid is to counteract the naturally acidic vaginal walls. If these walls remain acidic, the sperm cells would die and fertilization cannot be successful.

In a normal ejaculation or orgasm, there are alkaline residues inside your prostate. Bacteria could build up which can lead to the dreadful cancer. This is what we are trying to avoid. Hence, men are suggested to do prostate milking to prevent prostate cancer.

Over the years there has been a great deal of debate about prostate cancer and the subject of preventing prostate cancer specifically remains rather controversial. Although, as with most cancers, men are not themselves the cause of their own prostate cancer, there are clearly various risk factors for developing the disease and there is a lot that can be done, if not to actually prevent it, then without question to lower your risk of developing it.

The first step in prostate cancer prevention is to understand that you are at risk of getting the disease and to know just what the different risk factors are.

There can be no doubt that men with a family history of prostate cancer are at higher risk and that the risk for someone with a close relative suffering from the disease is about twice that of someone without any family history. If you have two close relatives this risk increases to around five times that of somebody with no family history and if you have three close relatives the risk reaches an almost incredible ninety-seven percent.

The problem here is that many men do not know their family history, frequently because many fathers, grandfathers or brothers have died as a result of other illnesses without even being aware that they had prostate cancer. This happens because prostate cancer will often develop late in life and can be a very slow growing form of cancer. As a result there is a very good chance of individuals developing other conditions together with their prostate cancer and it is these other conditions which ultimately result in their death.

Accordingly, if you do not know your family history, then a good starting point is to check things out if you can. If it is not possible, then it is probably best to err on the side of caution and to assume that you might be at risk rather than assume that you are in the clear.

Another very important factor is race. For example, African American men are at higher risk than Hispanic men who, in turn, are at greater risk than Caucasian men. For an African American man the risk is about sixty percent greater than that for a Caucasian man.

Yet another risk factor is diet and men who live in Western countries such as the United Kingdom or the United States are at increased risk because of the high levels of fat in most Western diets. Here at last is a risk factor that you can actually do something about and lowering the fat in your diet and eating such things as more vegetables and fresh fruit can reduce your risk quite dramatically.

At this point we begin to get into difficulty because, beyond the principle of reducing levels of fat in the diet, views begin to differ when it comes to looking at other aspects of the diet that could be helpful in preventing prostate cancer.

There is little if any doubt that levels of such things as vitamins and minerals in your diet can have a dramatic affect on your health generally and will undoubtedly have a role to play when it comes to prostate health. But, working out just which vitamins and minerals play a role is not a simple matter and is a subject all of its own.
