What Causes Lower Back Pain Post A Hernia Repair?

Possible malignancy of inflammatory bowel disease
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir , I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but losing 25 pounds in 6-8 weeks obviously raises the suspicions of malignant burden which could be either an undetected metastasis of the previous prostatic cancer ( possibly to bones, lungs and Liver ) or a new unrelated tumor. I would recommend that he gets a full body ct scan or MRI scan to exclude or detect the presence of any abnormal growth of the body ..
Another cause of weight loss could be inflammatory bowel diseases which can be detected with a colposcopy ..colonoscopy can be performed in patients aged above 80 years but they will benefit less that younger patients and will be more prone to the hazards of anesthesia .. I hope you find this helpful
