Does ejaculation frequency affect prostate cancer risk?
Studies show an association, not proof of cause. Ejaculation does not guarantee protection.
In this clip, urologist Jonathan Pavlinec, MD explains a theory involving fluid “stasis” and inflammation — a hypothesis, not certainty.

What age should men get screened for prostate cancer?
[Excerpt] Urologist Jonathan Pavlinec, MD explains why screening is not one-size-fits-all. Age, risk factors, and family history all matter.
Screening is about information, not rushing into treatment. Early conversations can preserve options.

Loneliness increases the risk of disease and early death — especially for men under stress or facing illness.
Here, Dean Ornish, MD reminds us:
You don’t have to do this alone.
Start by talking with someone you trust.

When prostate cancer involves the nerves, nerve-sparing surgery may not be safe.
MRI and pathology help show when cancer is pressing against or beyond the prostate. Trying to spare nerves in those cases can raise the risk of leaving cancer behind.

Men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer often fall into two extremes, according to Jonathan Pavlinec, MD.
Some want immediate aggressive treatment. Others read online that “most men don’t die from it” and assume they can ignore it. As he explains, the right answer is usually in the middle.
