As a man who had the same chance of risk of prostate cancer inspire me to at least know about the theory of the prostate gland and the symptoms and causes of these cancers. So that we can always alert to the possibility of the danger of the disease.
Goods times you had as a man wants to know also, therefore we see the same - the equal of many articles that I collect and I try to take the basic core of the problem.
Definition of the prostate gland
Exocrine glands in the prostate is the male reproductive system whose main function is to dispense and store liquid that becomes a kind of two-thirds of the semen, whereas
Prostate cancer is cancer that develops in the prostate gland. This occurs when prostate cells mutate and begin to grow out of control. These cells may spread from the prostate metastasis to other body parts, especially bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms. (Excerpted from wikipedia)
Prostate cancer symptoms
In the early stages are not usually found symptoms - symptoms of this cancer and the discovery accidentally when performing rectal examination. There are some common symptoms that occur as an indication of prostate cancer are:
* There will be difficulties when urinating (disebakan start of blockage in the urinary tract)
* Increased frequency of urination especially at night (in the short time that could have happened several times to urinate)
* Shot of a weak urine sometimes only drips
* There is blood in the urine
* Pain while urinating
As mentioned above in fact the cancer itself is rarely indicated unless symptoms of prostate cancer at an advanced stage.
Causes of prostate cancer
From some article I read said that the specific causes of prostate cancer is not certain. However, there are several factors that have anything to do with the age incidence of prostate cancer, genetics, race, diet, lifestyle and drugs - drugs. From the age of several factors that are closely linked.
Genetic problems also pose a threat causes prostate cancer, in which America has conducted research showing that black males tend to have higher risk of prostate cancer than white men and even worse that the cancer is more deadly.
A man has two times more powerful risk if relatives or parents suffering from prostate cancer. Research in the male twins in the Scandinavian states that 40% risk of prostate cancer can be explained by innate factors. Therefore if your brother or father with prostate cancer health then you have to get serious attention associated with these problems.
Associated with diet, lack of intake of vitamin E (found in vegetables - green leafy vegetables), omega - 3 (fatty fish like salmon) and selenium into other factors cause prostate cancer. Besides low levels of vitamin D in the blood can also increase the risk of prostate cancer.
How to detect
If you are a man aged 50 years and older are encouraged each year to conduct inspection of the total PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen: a blood test) and Dre (Digital rectal Examination: Examination anus with a finger). If there are families who suffer from prostate cancer, screening is recommended from the age of 40 years.
