Need expert advice on effects of orchidectomy and lhrh agonist drugs on prostate cancer?

Lower testosterone: Orchiectomy and lhrh agonist medications are performed to lower the production of testosterone (fuel that promotes prostate cancer growth). Both will cause a man's testosterone to drop typically lower than 50 (normal >300). Will slow prostate cancer growth but not "cure" it. Side-effects of castration include hot-flashes, osteoporosis, diabetes/cardiovascular risks, etc. Discuss with urologist.

Same: Neither one cures prostate cancer but either choice relieves bone pain (caused by metastases)and may prolong survival.LHRH agonists can be given every month or every 3 or 4 months of under the skin once a year and are give by injection or implanted under the skin.Obviously orchiectomy is once and it's done,also less expensive.Hope this answers your question for your loved on(since you are 36)
