Prostate cancer that occurs due to abnormal cellgrowth is commonly referred to as prostate cancer. The prostate gland is in the
pelvic region, below the bladder in men, and is shaped similarly to a walnut.
The gland produces semen, which is responsible for sperm nutrition and
transport.
Prostate cancer is symptomless in the early stages, but asit progresses, symptoms develop. Blood in urine, frequent urination, blood in
semen, erectile dysfunction, pain in pelvis, legs, feet, hips, thighs, lower
back, weight loss, loss of appetite, and lack of bowel control are some of the
signs of prostate cancer.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, there aresome risk factors which are associated with increasing the risk of developing
prostate cancer. Risk factors like age, family history, obesity, genetic
factors, smoking, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, and sexually transmitted
diseases increase the chance of having or developing prostate cancer.
A healthy and balanced diet which is low in fat and rich infruits and vegetables, exercise on regular basis (simple things like walking,
jogging, swimming, jumping, cycling, yoga), staying fit and healthy, gaining
muscle mass, quitting smoking, and talking to your doctor about what you’re at
risk for are some preventative measures that can help you to reduce your
chances of developing prostate cancer.
