Since this is an opportunity to educate people about health, I will not discuss politics here. :)
If you're a guy, your urinary tract is stupidly complicated from a medical viewpoint and there's a prostate beneath the bladder which hydrogenates testosterone (T is produced by the brain) into dihydrotestosterone, produces fluid to mix the seminal fluid with, and generally supports fertility and gender specific phenotype.
With progressing age, the prostate enlarges, gets infected with HPV (nearly everyone gets it) and may get bacterial infections (typical ones are E. coli). It may also develop calcinations.
Risk is reduced if you live in Asia and eat a traditional menu containing much soy bean products which enables guys in those regions to enjoy several times less prostate cancer.
Risk is increased with nearly every urinary tract infection, especially if not conclusively diagnosed and treated.
After the age of 40, regularly have PSA (prostate specific antigen) measured from a blood test. It tells how much disintegration and immune reaction is occurring down there.
Regularly have ultrasound check-ups done. If there are UTI symptoms, treatment must not occur blindly, but must be followed by observation.
If you are young and your home country has medical insurance that covers HPV vaccination, get it while it's free (because it costs 150 € a dose). If you're rich enough, there may be a point in getting it later too, especially if you've not had unsafe sex (it doesn't protect after infection). The majority of people get HPV during their lives and approximately 9 strains cause cervical cancer in women and raise the risk of prostate cancer in men. By getting vaccinated against HPV, you protect both yourself and your partners from drawing a ticket in a quite nasty lottery.
As long as prostate cancer is androgen dependent, it can be suppressed with an androgen blockade.
Honestly I've been wondering since the debates if he had a bad UTI when he crashed and burned. It's not uncommon for them to cause confusion or even delirium in that age group and I seem to recall a lot of vague comments from his team saying he'd been 'sick'.
Yeah "You've got stage 4 cancer. You won't make it through 4 more years." is probably the only way to get those old bluedog democrats to gtfo of office.
