I didn't know how else to title this post.

I'm 26 years old and I'm going to make an appointment with a Urologist next week. 6 weeks ago I went to my doctor because I was having like tingling sensations in my lower region and some minor pain in my rectum/prostate area. He didn't have time for me to go to a urologist then and put me on an antibiotic for prostasis. The antibiotic helped, but I'm still feeling some of the symptoms from earlier.

Also, as weird as it sounds, I was masterbating yesterday and when I ejaculated it actually felt like I pulled my prostate. It sounds weird. Feeling in that area I think it kind of feels swollen. I'm wondering if it is possible to pull your prostate, like a muscle. Also, I'm wondering the probability that this is cancer. I have a sinking suspicion that it is, and honestly, I'm not mentally prepared for this, especially since my dad passed away of esophigal(spelling?) cancer 2 and a half years ago. Any response would be much appreciated.

I was just reading some articles. What is the probability that this would be prostasis as opposed to cancer??

With your young age, and if there is no family history of prostate cancer, I doubt very much that you have prostate cancer. With the symptoms you have described however, I certainly advise you to see a urologist. Something is not right and your GP is probably not as well schooled in this specialty as a urologist will be.

As far as "pulling" a prostate gland - since there are few if any muscles involved with this gland, I think this is doubtful. See a urologist - it will put your mind at ease.

No, there isn't a history of prostate cancer in my family, just the cancer my father had (which was brought on by years of smoking). The dr. did do a prostate check and had felt it was swollen/enlarged about 6 weeks ago. I made an appointment today for the urologist. Hopefully it all goes well. Thanks a lot for your responses, they have been helpful in easing my mind a bit. Now, 2 weeks to wait for the urologist visit.

Thank you for your response,
