Prostate Cancer: When to Treat and When to Monitor
You've probably heard the words 'prostate cancer', especially if you are more than 50 or a dear person goes through it. But a million dollars is a question of whether you immediately treat it or wait and see? Unlike many cancers, which require immediate action, prostate cancer sometimes plays by a different set of rules. This is right! Sometimes, nothing can be the best you can do right now. But how do you know when to work and when to catch? In cities such as Jaipur, where advanced medical treatment is easily accessible, selection is a real conversation starter between aggressive treatment and careful monitoring. Many patients begin the journey by detecting the best prostate cancer treatment in Jaipur, where their options become important. To understand prostate cancer, it is useful to paint the prostate: a small walnut-shaped gland under the bladder and next to the rectum. Most never give it a new idea until something goes wrong, but still, the organ calmly creates most of the fluids that carry semen during ejaculation. Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate start growing uncontrollably. Not all of these cells are aggressive, though. Some just sit there, minding their own business, growing at a snail's pace. Certain things increase your chances: Age (especially after 50), Family history, Being African-American, Obesity, Diet high in red meat and low in veggies. Sometimes prostate cancer whispers long before. Watch out for: Urin When cancer increases, then similar symptoms: blood in urine or semen, pain in the hips, back, or chest, erectile dysfunction PSA (PSA-Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein made by prostate cells. A high level doesn't always mean cancer, but it's a red flag that needs more checking. Not fun, but necessary. Your doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for lumps or hard spots on the prostate. When doctors see something unusual, they do a biopsy, which means taking a small needle core from the prostate to look for cancer cells. After an MR or CT scan can be ordered, the team helps check if the illness has spread beyond the gland. Low-risk cancer is slow-growing and unlikely to spread beyond the prostate, yet high-risk disease has features that suggest? It could move around the body more quickly. Pathologists combine two main patterns of cancer to make a Gleason score between 6 and 10. A score of 6 or 7 usually means that the tumor is mostly, while a score of 8 or more creates anxiety as the cells seem very aggressive. This means regular PSA testing, current biopsy, and monitoring. Ideal for low-risk cancer that does not increase or cause problems. Most are used for elderly patients or people with other health conditions. If the symptoms appear, treatment begins. Until then, this hand is closed. If the cancer is aggressive or causes symptoms: Radical prostatectomy – removes the prostate.e Radiation Treatment – Kill Cancer Cells Hormone Treatment – Cut the testosterone that drives cancer Chemotherapy – for advanced cases If urination hurts or the patient feels bone pain, waiting is rarely wise. A rising PSA level in many blood tests usually indicates a more aggressive disease and pushes many men against active treatment. A glygon score of 8 or higher or some rare, rapidly growing cell types is required soon to later. Gleeson can be carefully seen instead of relieving cancer that scores six or lower on the back, without pain. In men whose hearts, lungs, or other organs create a greater risk than cancer, careful observation may be more understandable than aggressive surgery. Some prostate tumors develop so slowly that they rarely change in ten years. In such cases, it seems to jump right into aggressive treatment, more like an exaggeration than progression. Simple options have power. Squeeze dishes with tomatoes, drink green tea instead of sugary drinks, cut down on red meat, and aim for a daily journey; Together, these habits can calm the body and mind. Steady watching beats hit-or-miss guesswork. Letting blood tests and scans slip means allowing tiny troubles the room to blossom into big surprises. The story of each cancer is one by one. A thoughtful urologist weighs the results of your test, general welfare, life goals, and feelings, which you like best. Living with uncertainty is draining. Byy explaining the why behind each option, a skilled urologist in Jaipur turns fog into practical road signs and soothes anxious nights. To determine whether the treatment or monitoring of prostate cancer is not a size-dependent landscape. It depends on your age, health, cancer phase, and how you feel about 'waiting and watching'. But the rest was secured – both options can be part of a successful strategy. The key is informed and open interaction with your doctor. Whether you need security or a game plan, consult a reliable urologist in Jaipur who can set you in the right direction. Not really. Certain types grow so slowly that they never cause trouble, yet they still need regular check-ins. Only if you skip the doctor visits, stay on schedule, and have a solid plan for low-risk patients. At the top of the list are tomatoes, broccoli, green tea, walnuts, and oily fish. High-grade, aggressive versions can move to bones and other organs if left untreated. It varies. Some men test every six months while others only once a year. click here for more articles TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Beyonce teases surprise move away from country music for next album – with name a nod to ‘flamboyant' music legend
SHE dabbled in dance with chart-topping record Renaissance, then country with Cowboy Carter, and now it seems Beyonce is about to become a fully-fledged rock star. The Texas Hold 'Em singer has been dropping hints that her next album will be called Betty Black — and she is already teasing a corresponding tour before her current one has even finished. 9 Beyonce had a nod to American singer and model Betty Davis ahead of the release of her new album Credit: Instagram/@beyonce 9 Beyonce is planning to release her new album next year and has another tour in the works Credit: Redferns Her 32-date Cowboy Carter trek finishes a week today in Las Vegas, but the website now redirects to her own beyonce .com site. It is believed that the title is a bid to reclaim the 1977 song Black Betty by Ram Jam, which has its roots in African-American music and has become controversial in recent years due to its connection with a whip used on enslaved people in prisons. It is likely to also be a nod to late American singer and model Betty Davis, who was publicly scorned for her sexually liberating lyrics and funk-rock sound, which led to her being boycotted by radio and TV stations. Betty has been described as 'wildly flamboyant', with the 'gritty emotional realism of Tina Turner, the futurist fashion sense of David Bowie and the trend–setting flair of Miles Davis,' the latter of whom she was briefly married to. READ MORE ON BEYONCE And it wouldn't be the first time Beyonce has referenced her. On a remix of her Renaissance song Break My Soul, Beyonce sang 'Betty Davis, we love you', and on her Cowboy Carter track Bodyguard, she sang 'Davis in my bones'. Bey went on to dress up as her for Halloween last year and, in a video for her GQ cover story to promote her whisky brand SirDavis, the Betty Davis song They Say I'm Different was used. In another teaser about the Betty Black title, during her Cowboy Carter tour show, a newspaper appears on a screen behind her which has the headline: 'Betty Black tour sold out.' Most read in Bizarre And fans reckon they have worked out that her next album will be released on May 29, 2026, given she has picked Friday the 29th to release her last two records, and that is the next time the 29th falls on a Friday. Blue Ivy looks IDENTICAL to mom Beyonce as she arrives in Paris with dad Jay-Z The project will wrap up a trilogy of albums, which she announced when Renaissance came out in 2022. In a message on her website at the time, she said: 'This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. 'Thank you to all of the pioneers who originate culture, to all of the fallen angels whose contributions have gone unrecognised for far too long. This is a celebration for you.' Bey has been vocal about her love for rock'n'rollers like Betty and Tina Turner — who has inspired several outfits on her latest tour. So I'm excited to see what she's cooked up, even if we do have a ten-month wait on our hands. It Girl Sabrina 9 Sabrina Carpenter flew to Tuscany where she treated her pals to a luxury getaway Credit: Supplied SABRINA CARPENTER celebrated the biggest shows of her career by jetting off to a £6,500-a-night villa in Italy to unwind. I can reveal that after performing to 130,000 fans during two shows at BST Hyde Park in London earlier this month, she flew to Tuscany where she treated her pals to a luxury getaway. They stayed at the 600-year-old Villa I Busini which has seven bedrooms, a pool, walled gardens and a chef to make them breakfast. The Espresso singer shared photos on Instagram of her well-deserved holiday. She has had a stratospheric 18 months with a world tour and hit album Short n' Sweet, which spent a whopping 46 weeks in the Top Five. On top of that, she has somehow found the time to record an entirely new album, Man's Best Friend, which will be released on August 29. The first single Manchild has already gone to No1 and I've no doubt the follow-ups will be huge too. I hope workaholic Sabrina managed to switch off on her break, because the rest of the year is going to be even busier. New twist in Leigh-Anne's tale 9 Leigh-Anne showed off her flexibility in a promo photo for her new single Been A Minute Credit: Niklas Haze LEIGH-ANNE gets a foot up on her competition as she samples a Noughties favourite for her comeback tune. The former Little Mix star, who is now going it alone as an independent artist, showed off her flexibility in a promo photo for her new single Been A Minute, which features the hook from the 2001 Masters At Work song, Work. Also back with new music is Tinie Tempah with his song Eat It Up, with East LA, Jayo with Turning Me On and Robbie Williams' Spies, from his album BritPop, due out on October 10. I also recommend newcomer Nectar Woode's sublime EP It's Like I Never Left, while Robert Plant has put out Everybody's Song, from his upcoming album Saving Grace. Ahead of the new series of Line Of Duty, And after racking up half a million views in a fortnight, Yungblud has released his breathtaking cover of Black Sabbath's Changes, recorded at their Back To The Beginning farewell concert, to raise money for charity. 9 Alex Warren says he was not a fan of his own mega-hit Ordinary when he first wrote it Credit: Getty ALEX WARREN admitted he 'hated' his song Ordinary when he first wrote it – despite it going on to become the biggest track of the year, spending 13 weeks at No1. On Hits Radio Breakfast yesterday, the American musician, below, explained: 'When we first wrote it, I actually hated it. 'I hated it when it was just us on a guitar, like, we didn't really do anything to it. 'We were still writing it and I was like, 'It just doesn't sound like a record I'd put out.' 'And then I sang it and I was like, 'OK, let's see where this goes.' "And we started putting stuff into the file and it sounded insane when we started adding the choir and everyone on top of it, and I was like, 'Holy shoot. This is amazing.'' Sir Paul's piano made BGT Tom very Abbey 9 Britain's Got Talent star Tom Ball was pictured at Abbey Road with wife Hannah and daughter Adeline Credit: Supplied BRITAIN'S Got Talent singer songwriter Tom Ball is following in the footsteps of greatness.

I got to play on the piano when I was in Abbey Road and there's just so much history . You could still feel the dents in the keys where he used to play.' Tom, pictured at Abbey Road with wife Hannah and their six-month-old daughter Adeline, will release second album Spotlight on October 10. He is also playing shows around the globe, including in the US, where he gained new fans after winning America's Got Talent: All-Stars in 2023. But the ex-teacher admitted that he isn't too proud to go back to the classroom. Tom said: 'I love what I do but teaching was fun too. I'd go back. 'Right now I'm making a lot of music. I have my own studio at home, which is great.' 9 Katy Perry shared a picture on TikTok wrapped head to toe in a dressing gown Credit: TikTok KATY PERRY is still up for a laugh despite her She shared a video on her secret TikTok page of herself wrapped head to toe in a dressing gown as she left the Kia Forum in Los Angeles following her latest Lifetimes Tour gig. The Firework singer has been posting all sorts of silly clips @urmom_ontour – although not many fans have realised it's actually her. I just want to wrap myself up in my dressing gown sometimes too, Katy. Margot gin treat a tonic 9 Margot Robbie shocked punters at a bar in London by buying a round of drinks Credit: MARGOT ROBBIE is a woman after my own heart, having forked out for a massive round of drinks for surprised punters. The Barbie actress was at a restaurant with her movie producer husband Tom Ackerley and a group of mates when she shouted to everyone she was giving them all a treat. One of the lucky diners at Bondi Green in Paddington, West London told me: 'We were eating lunch and then sudden-ly Margot stood up and said she was buying every single person a drink. 'She had the bar staff make cocktails from her Papa Salt gin and had them served to everyone who wanted one. 'It was a lovely gesture and she was in great spirits – very relaxed and friendly.' That's a sure-fire way to win people over. And an easy way to plug her booze brand. JOJO SIWA's Infinity Heart Tour will head to the UK in October with gigs at Newcastle, London, Manchester, Brighton and Birmingham. The Celebrity Big Brother finalist has just released a cover of Bette Davis Eyes, but we've been told she is also working on original music. Safe to say Bizarre's Jack will be there front and centre.

Why Man Asked Girlfriend to 'Pretend to Be Japanese' For Reunion with High School Friends
The 23-year-old Chinese woman took to Reddit's AITA forum with her boyfriend's problematic request, before sharing an update in which she revealed where they stand now after Redditors weighed in. A Chinese woman has taken to the internet for advice after her boyfriend wanted her to "pretend to be Japanese" to meet his high school friends -- specifically his male friends. The OP (a.k.a "original poster") shared her story to Reddit's AITA ("Am I the A--hole") forum, asking the internet whether or not she's in the wrong for refusing to fake being an ethnicity of which she is not to "impress" her boyfriend's friends at an event. Redditors weighed in, before the woman later revealed the reason behind her boyfriend's bizarre request, and where they stand now. Read on to see what went down and how Redditors reacted. Chinese Woman's BF Wants Her to 'Pretend to Be Japanese' to 'Impress' Friends In her original post, the woman asked the question: "AITA for telling my boyfriend I wouldn't pretend to be Japanese to impress his old high school friends?" "I (23f) am a Chinese woman living in America. My boyfriend (23m) is American and white. I am somewhat aware of a weird thing for Asian women some white American guys have," OP wrote. "But most of my boyfriend's exes are African-American so I thought I was in the clear." "He's going to attend a event that includes many friends from high school," he added. "He told me he wants his friends to think I'm Japanese. He said I don't have to outright say it, I can just do something subtle to give them that impression." According to the woman, one of her boyfriend's exes, who is African-American, will be at the event, but OP's boyfriend "promises" that his ex being there "has nothing to do with him wanting people to think I'm Japanese." "He said it's for his male friends," OP clarified. "Even though it's people he rarely sees so this maybe a one time thing, I told him I wouldn't pretend to be Japanese." "Unless it's required, I avoid telling people I'm Chinese," she explained. "I feel people put much stock into where people are born and I want people to get to know me for me." Despite her declining her boyfriend's request, OP said her boyfriend "still wants" her to go with him to the event, but noted that "he seems like he's dreading it." "Am I the a--hole ?" she then asked. Reddit Weighs In, Slams OP's 'Creep' of a BF Redditors appeared to unanimously label the woman as NTA, a.k.a. "not the a--hole," and didn't hesitate to rally behind OP, while also accusing her boyfriend of having a "fetish." "NTA and it's really weird that he wants you to lie to show off his 'Japanese' girlfriend like a trophy," a user wrote. Another commenter suggested the boyfriend fetishizes Japanese culture, saying he was "dreading" going to the event because he probably "already told them you're Japanese." "NTA boyfriend and his friends have a weird ass fetish," another wrote in a popular comment, to which OP replied, "Maybe I'm naive. I definitely don't think I understand how kinks and fetishes work." "I was hoping [because] most of his exes are African-American, that would mean he doesn't have a weird obsession for Asian women," she added, before asking how "many" of his friends he grew up with possibly have the "same fetish." "I am not defending him, I just don't know how this works," OP clarified. After a Redditor suggested that the boyfriend may "have a fetish for 'Exotic' women for which any woman not white could fit," the woman said that the commenter's "theory fits the most." "Maybe my boyfriend have an obsession for non-white women but wants to impress someone who specifically like Japanese women," OP said. Meanwhile, another user -- who also said OP was NTA -- asked, "Why the heck are you dating this creep nta." "A part of me was hoping people would say I'm overreacting," she said. Another commenter asked OP if she was "looking for a reason to stay with that weirdo??" "You're not the a--hole for not pretending to be something you're not," the user assured. "It's good to have self respect but….your boyfriend sounds like a piece of work and he'll do more microagressions against you if you let him get away with it. PICK BETTER!" The woman replied, "I was, but this is a problem I can't ignore. My boyfriend has issues." OP Gives an Update The next day, the woman gave an update in a new post, sharing that she had a conversation with her boyfriend, who explained the apparent reason why he asked her to "pretend to be Japanese." "A tiny update as the conversation I had with my boyfriend was less than 2 hours long," OP said. "He promises that he doesn't care that I'm Chinese instead of Japanese. He admitted he's physically attracted to women who aren't white." "He promises that his old high school friends doesn't have anti-Chinese sentiments. He admitted it was a stupid competitive thing between him and his friends," she continued. "He said his friends will be [impressed] that I'm Chinese but one of his other friends has a South Korean girlfriend. In their weird ranking, even though Chinese is ranked high, South Korean is ranked higher. For them, the only thing that ranks higher than South Korean is Japanese." OP then dropped a bomb, telling Redditors, "I broke up with him. I told him and his friends need to have more respect for women." Commenters praised OP for her decision. "Good for you. That sounds like an insanely stupid thing for him to worry about," a user wrote. "The very idea that he and his friends RANK the desirability of female partners according to their cultural / ethnic origin is deeply, deeply s--ty behaviour," another said. "You did the right thing to break up with him. Absolutely appalling behaviour!" "You did great standing up for yourself. You're not some piece of meat for a competition," another person chimed in.

2 Chainz Fronts Fear of God x MLB's "Atlanta Capsule" Ahead of All-Star Week
Fear of GodEssentialshas teamed up withMLBahead ofAll-Star WeekinAtlanta, Georgia, to celebrate the city's vibrant cultural legacy with Georgia-born rapper2 Chainzfronting the photos. The campaign not only honors the city's sports teams across the MLB, NBA, and NFL, but also its contributions to Rap music and the Civil Rights movement. According toWWD, the Atlanta Capsule taps trusted industry purveyors with caps made in collaboration with New Era, sweatshirts, and batting gloves developed with Franklin Sports. The pieces call out Atlanta's big three teams the Braves (MLB), Falcons (NFL) and Hawks (NBA), and also pay respect to the 'Negro Southern League' and the 'Negro American League,' like the Monarchs, Black Crackers, Black Yankees, Grays and X-Giants — originating during the US's era of racial segregation. The graphics represent a loud and clear political statement, reprising chants and signage from the 1960s Black Liberation movement in Atlanta. In addition to empowering phrases like 'We Won't Move' and 'Freedom Now,' one graphic reads 'Don't buy where you can't work,' echoing the numerous consumer boycotts of the era. The statement is especially relevant to the current climate, as boycotts continue to affect retailers who have drawn back on DEI initiatives and affirmative action. In 1996, Atlanta hosted the Summer Olympics, solidifying its status as an American sports hub. The city has also become an epicenter for African-American arts and music, serving as a hub for some of the world's most renowned rappers like 21 Savage, Andre 3000, Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, and, of course, 2 Chainz, among many others. The Fear of God x MLB collection celebrates these thriving cultural movements while also honoring the historic struggle of African-American communities. The Atlanta Capsule will be available exclusively atThe Websterin Lenox Square this Friday and later on the Fear of God web store.
