There are 4 things you should pay attention to when preventing prostate cancer

The incidence of prostate cancer is high, second only to lung cancer in elderly men, and with the continuous increase in life expectancy, its incidence is also gradually increasing, seriously endangering men's health. In fact, prostate cancer is preventable, so for male friends, the following four points should be paid attention to in daily life to prevent prostate cancer.

1. Have a regular sex life

Australian scientists conducted a survey on a number of men and found that men who have regular sex have a lower risk of prostate cancer than men who have less sex; men who masturbate more than five times a week have a 30% lower risk of prostate cancer before the age of 70 compared to men who do not masturbate or masturbate less frequently. The possible reason is that semen contains certain carcinogens, and frequent ejaculation helps to expel them, reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

2. Drink red wine in moderation

Researchers at the University of Texas found that drinking a moderate amount of red wine every day can help inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells.

3. Eat more onions and garlic on a daily basis

A study by the National Cancer Institute of the United States shows that men who eat more than 10 grams of garlic or onions a day can help prevent prostate cancer and reduce the risk of prostate cancer by half.

4. Regularly test prostate-specific antigen

Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a specific tumor marker for prostate cancer. Its level increases continuously with the increase of lesions. It is mainly used as an indicator for screening and monitoring prostate cancer. Men over 50 years old should undergo regular serum prostate-specific antigen testing.
