Prostate cancer surgery is a rapidly evolving area of medical research as researchers refine the removal of the prostate gland to try and spare men from the unwanted side effects of surgery. This has led to major breakthroughs including the world’s first dual-robot surgery to remove the prostate gland while sparing surrounding nerves. While there is still more research needed, there’s hope on the horizon for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Understanding Your Hormones
Estradiol (E2)
A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido.
Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.
DHT
