   So far there is no appropriate treatment of prostate cancer. The options of treatment vary according to the stages of the tumor. In the early stages, you can talk to your doctor about the options which include surgery, radiation therapy, in older patients, monitoring the cancer without the active treatment. Prostate cancer that is spread might be treated with drugs for the reduction in the level of testosterone levels, surgery for the removal of testes or the chemotherapy.
   
   Surgery, radiation therapy and the hormonal therapy might have a conflict and affect on the sexual desire of a person can affect its performance in either temporary or permanent basis. You can discuss it with your health care provider. The surgery is normally recommended by the doctors after a thorough examination and evaluation of the treatment options. A man that considers surgery as an option must be aware of the benefits and the risks involved in the procedure.
   
   Surgery for the removal of prostate gland in recommended for the treatment staged A and B prostate cancers. There is a lengthy procedure and complications involved in it. There are different surgery options like Radical Prostatectomy and Robotic Surgery. Orchiectomy alters the hormone production and is recommended for cancers which are spread all over the body. There might be some bruising and swelling just after the surgery, but it will go away gradually.
