Prostate cancer is something no man wants to deal with, but the reality is that 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now, many of these cancers will be low risk cancers with low risk of progression if detected early and put on the proper treatment protocol. 

But, even low-risk prostate cancer can impact your sexual function. Men who had definitive surgical and radiation treatment for low-risk prostate cancer report increased sexual and urinary incontinence problems.

The Y Factor physicians work closely with men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer who choose active surveillance to monitor the cancer closely to detect any early progression, suggesting the need for definitive treatment. If you’re a man dealing with prostate cancer in the Houston or surrounding areas, please schedule a consultation with our premium urological providers so we can help you get on an active surveillance protocol guided by me, Dr. Russel Williams.
