About this study
Official title: The Role of the Seven Sweeps in the Prevention of the Prostate Cancer Among Those With a Positive Family History: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The seven sweeps is a recommended act performed by men after urinating in order to be confident that no urine is left in the urethra, and its not compulsory to perform. It is performed by the following way: after urinating, the anus is first purified if it has become impure; then, the middle finger of the left hand is slid three times from the anus up to the scrotum; then, the thumb is placed on the penis and the forefinger is placed under the penis, and the thumb and forefinger are pulled three times along the penis up to the point of circumcision; finally, the end of the penis is pressed three times.
Read the detailed description
The investigators have investigated 350 people who have been doing this habit for at least 20 years of their life and they have a family history of prostatic cancer to check the effect of this procedure on the prevention of the cancer. The investigators have excluded 135 participants of them because they have not full-filled the criteria of inclusion. So 215 of them have been included and investigated using PSA and prostate ultrasound.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Prostate specific antigen
PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland. The amount of PSA may be higher in men who have prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or infection or inflammation of the prostate. Also called prostate-specific antigen test.
Measured: 30 minutes
Secondary outcomes (1)
Prostate ultrasound
Using the sonography to locate and measure the thickness and the tissue of the prostate.
Measured: 30 minutes
