The last thing you want to think about is prostate cancer surgery. With the thought of all the uncomfortable tests and then the surgery itself, which takes organs from your body, scares many people. You never want to think about it or imagine it could happen to you.

The surgery itself is irreversible and over time, the affects this has on ones life will become known. Although the side effects are not life threatening to speak, but if complications arise from other health problems it could be. Men experience a sexual performance problem and in some cases and will need counseling.

What is Prostatectomy This type of procedure consists of removing the entire prostate gland along with nearby tissue that may have cancer cells that have spread to them. The two methods used are perineal and retro public.

The retro public method requires removal of the prostate through a small incision right below your belly button and about an inch above the penis. The other procedure, perineal is done with an incision between the rectum and the scrotum. This way sounds more painful than the retro public method.

Before the prostate cancer surgery, a catheter is inserted in your bladder through the tip of the penis. While the catheter is in place, all urine is drained from the bladder during the surgery and your recovery. Usually two weeks past before having the catheter removed.

Once they remove the catheter, you might experience some problems with urinary control for days, weeks and sometimes months. Not all men experience this unfortunate condition. An exception would be sometimes when you lift things or cough you might notice a little incontinence.

Another side affect that results from prostate cancer surgery, the inability to perform sexually, happen if nerves on both sides of the prostate become damaged during the surgery. If you have this problem before surgery, the affects will become more apparent after the surgery. In addition, you need to know if you do obtain an erection, orgasms may be hard to achieve and in some cases, loss of bodily function control during an orgasm may result.

Another newer method of prostate cancer surgery done with robotics helps to limit the sexual effects as well as the urinary problems. This procedure is called laparoscopic surgery. This new procedure might not be an option with your doctor, but he or she may refer you to another doctor for this procedure.

Before deciding on what surgery you want to have, you need to consider all the side effects and whatever way you decide, needs to rid your body of cancer. Testing and early prevention also helps determine what type of prostate cancer surgery you need.

Everyone knows that relationships take work. Most relationships begin hot and heavy with neither person able to get enough of the other. The two share more and more, becoming closer and closer until, one day, monotony sets in. Suddenly, the two of you are bickering more and more. That spark that once brought you together has suddenly vanished. Or, at least it appears to have vanished. That spark is usually still there; it just needs to be fanned a little bit so that it can rage once more into the fire that once marked your passionate union. One of the ways to bring that spark back is with a sensual couple massage.

A sensual couple massage involves just the two of you, some lotion, maybe some candles and some soft music. The point is to forget all of the outside influences that are putting a barrier between the two of you. You are looking to drown out work, traffic jams, bills, debt and everything else that stresses you out, and youre focusing purely on the bond that marks your relationship.

Setting The Mood Is Very Important The first thing you need to do during a sensual couple massage is to set the mood. Put on some quiet music, light some candles and dim the lights. Set out a towel or set up a massage table if you have one, or just use the bed. If you are going to use the bed, set down a towel so that the lotions you use dont soak into your bedding.

Once the mood is set, sit across from each other, join hands and just stare into each others eyes. This helps you focus on the other person and it sets the stage for the sensual couple massage to follow. When youre ready, choose who is going to be the receiver of the massage and have that person lay down. Using lotion or massage oils, slowly roam your hands over your partners body, exploring their entire body. Dont just head straight for the erogenous zones, but explore your partners body as they fall into complete relaxation. When the person is completely relaxed, then switch to continue the sensual couple massage.

It doesnt matter if you dont know how to give a massage. Just the act of being there, of being close, of celebrating your union and of bringing sensuality back to the relationship; thats what a sensual couple massage is all about and, if done correctly, it should strengthen your relationship to cause that passionate fire within you to rage once more.

In terms of sporting prowess two terms are synonymous with Newcastle-Upon-Tyne; Newcastle United FC at St James Park and international athletics at the Gateshead International Stadium, which is a major venue on the international athletics scene and the home of the English Institute of Sport. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne also supports the full range of sporting clubs and recreational facilities expected of a modern large city. Below are some of the major features it offers.

Football To use its correct name association football (also known as soccer and simply footie to some) is not a game or even a merely a sport on Tyneside - but a passion! Support for the Premier league Newcastle United FC (also called the Magpies because of their distinctive black and white striped kit) is fervent and unwavering. Given the recent form of the team in the last few years, outsiders to Newcastle might well find this difficult to understand, but, such is the seriousness and passion with which the team is supported by the Geordies. Mention any of these names; Jackie Milburn, Malcolm MacDonald (aka SuperMac) or Paul Gascoigne to a Magpies fan and youll see their eyes glaze over with emotion. There are of course a host of other football clubs and leagues in and around Newcastle. More notable teams include; Gateshead who play in the Northern Premier League and Wallsend in the Northern Football Alliance Premier division.

Athletics although being across the river Tyne in Gateshead the Gateshead International Stadium is a major sporting venue in the area. Its main function is being home to the Gateshead Harriers Athletics club. However, it is better known as a venue for international standard athletics meetings and events and has hosted the European cup twice in 1989 and 2000. The English Institute of Sport is developing athletic talent in the area with a particular focus on the 2012 Olympics.

Cricket although Northumberland is not in the English cricket county championship the city does have a thriving cricket club. Newcastle CC play in the North East Premier League Division 1.

Two sports in Newcastle play their home fixtures at the Metroradio Arena Newcastle, these are: Ice Hockey the Newcastle Vipers who play in the British Elite ice hockey league are one of the top 10 clubs in the country. Basketball the Newcastle Eagles play in the British Basketball League Championship and are also one of the top ten clubs in the country.

Tennis Apart from a David Lloyd Tennis Centre, this sport is not very well served by the city. Whilst there are plenty of municipal tennis courts, high quality tennis events are few and far between. Currently not even the highly suitable Metroradio Arena Newcastle has a professional tennis competition on the horizon.

Golf whilst municipal golf courses and driving ranges in Newcastle are rather sparse, there are some excellent, and well priced, private clubs in the area. Although up in the north of Northumberland, Saley Hall being probably the best well known. In the past this quite young course has hosted European PGA tour competitions and is a world class golfing venue. The City of Newcastle Golf Club also has an excellent reputation for its quality and the friendly welcome youll get. The club was founded in 1891 and moved to its present location off the A1 near Gosforth, in 1907, the course was designed by the legendary Harry Vardon. Green fees are around 25.

Swimming information about municipal swimming pools can be obtained from the city councils website. Unfortunately, the City of Newcastle does not have a full length pool, but it does have a City of Newcastle Amateur Swimming Club, which has helped to nurture some swimmers of international standards.

Rugby whilst there is not currently a Rugby League club in Newcastle, it does have a well known Rugby Union club. Newcastle Falcons currently play in the RFU (English Rugby Football Union) Premiership. Their ground is in Kingston Park, a suburb of the city. Their most famous player must surely be Jonny Wilkinson who kicked the winning drop-goal for England in the dying moments of the 2003 world cup. Rob Andrew, Director of Rugby, was also recently appointed Elite Rugby Director to the English RFU. Other local rugby union clubs include; Gateshead Fell, Blaydon, Winlaton, Ryton, North Shields and Percy Park.

Runners if you enjoy running, or are at the more serious end of jogging, the annual Great North Run might well tempt you. The half-marathon (13.1 miles/21 kilometres) course runs from Spital Tongues in Newcastle to South Shields and is one of the biggest events in the world road running calendar.

Information about all sporting facilities available through the city council can be found through their Newcastle Leisure web-site.

You could also consider walking in one of the citys parks or take a short bus ride or drive into the Northumberland countryside for a walk or bike ride. Sailing, wind-surfing, canoeing, diving and even Malibu board surfing are some of the water-sports available in and around Newcastle. Fishing is immensely popular in England and not only the River Tyne provides opportunities for the keen angler. A full list of venues is available through Visit Northumberland.
