According to WebMD.com /*“Prostate cancer is the 2nd most common cancer
among men”*/ – if that wasn’t scary enough, there are no real known
symptoms of prostate cancer, until the cancer is pretty developed. The
promising thing is that when prostate cancer is detected early on, before it
has a chance to spread to other parts of the body, it’s fairly treatable.
According to the National Cancer Institute, local prostate cancer (meaning
cancer that hasn’t spread beyond the prostate) makes up 4 out of 5 prostate
cancer diagnoses. Factors that increase your risk of developing prostate
cancer include age (this cancer is most common among men over the age of 65),
having a family history of prostate cancer, being obese and, for unknown
reasons, African American men are more likely than their counterparts to
develop this form of cancer. While there is no official way to prevent
prostate cancer, there are lifestyle choices that can be made to reduce your
likelihood of developing it. Although there are no symptoms of actual
prostate cancer, there are signs to watch for that signal a problem in your
prostate. If you need to pee a lot (especially during the night), leak urine
when you laugh or cough, are unable to pee standing up, feel pain or a
burning sensation when you pee, notice blood in your semen or urine, have a
hard time starting or stopping your flow of urine or have a weak urinary
stream you may have a growth that is causing a blockage in your prostate. If
you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should consult your doctor
right away to determine what the cause is. Because instances of prostate
cancer are lower in countries that eat less red meats and high fat foods, it
stands to reason that eliminating these things from your diet might decrease
your chances of developing prostate cancer. Mayo Clinic suggests increasing
your intake of lycopene, stating, /“one nutrient that is consistently
linked to prostate cancer prevention is lycopene, which can be found in raw
or cooked tomatoes.”/ Mayo Clinic also suggests exercising regularly and
maintaining a healthy weight [1] as other ways to try and prevent prostate
cancer. Their website says /“There is some evidence that the men who get
the most exercise have a lower incidence of prostate cancer when compared
with men who get little or no exercise.”/ One of the most important things
you can do to maintain good prostate health [2], is to see your doctor
regularly, never ignore potential warning signs, and get proper testing done,
as you get older. There are medications available that may decrease your risk
of developing prostate cancer. Another reason to work closely with your
doctor on this matter is that the ability to detect this cancer early on, if
it does start to develop, greatly increases the chances of eradicating the
cancer. [1] http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/content/african-mango-xd
