According to a report in Medline Plus, a new test may be able to detect which men under prostate cancer treatment will develop impotence. Prostate cancer could lead to a lengthy recovery time, resulting in being out of work. This could qualify you to receive long-term disability benefits.
Researchers have apparently developed a test that can predict the chance of a man suffering from impotence, which can aid in making a decision concerning the type of therapy to undergo, if at all. In some cases, men who are at risk of developing impotence may be more likely to wait and see if their cancer progresses.
Impotence is one of many serious side effects that can be experienced with some forms of treatment for prostate cancer. Other side effects can include erectile dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, and incontinence.
Deciding if treatment is necessary may be affected by those who know the risks. The test is said to be 77% to 90% accurate in determining the risk of impotence; however, researchers also indicate that the decision to undergo treatment should also take into consideration whether or not it can save a life or improve a man's quality of life.
