What are the causes of prostate cancer?

Every man in society must control himself, keep himself healthy, and protect his prostate carefully, so that the possibility of developing prostate cancer will be very low. So what are the causes of prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the male reproductive system. Its incidence increases with age. There are obvious regional differences in its incidence, which is higher in Europe and the United States. The incidence in my country was lower in the past, but due to the aging of the population, the incidence has increased in recent years. The cause of prostate cancer is not yet fully understood, but it is related to race, genetic factors, environmental factors and sex hormone levels. The details are as follows:

1. Chemical carcinogens. Chemical substances such as cadmium and benzene from special types of work or environmental pollution are carcinogenic; tar and other chemicals inhaled by smokers can cause cancer. Data show that the risk of prostate cancer death among regular smokers is 14 times higher than that of non-smokers.

2. Prostate infection. Analysis of the prostate cancer mortality curve and gonorrhea incidence curve over a 30-year period found that the two are very similar. Some scholars also found a clear link between prostate cancer and gonorrhea in a retrospective study. Some experiments have suggested that injecting tissue culture fluid from the prostate of rats infected with certain viruses into rats of the same species can cause the infected cells to develop into tumors. This suggests that the cause of prostate cancer is related to viral infection, sexually transmitted diseases and chronic prostate infection.

3. High-fat diet and obesity may also be the cause of prostate cancer. If you consume a lot of saturated fatty acids in your daily diet, you should be careful. Saturated fatty acids are inducers of prostate cancer. Eating more vegetables, fruits and beans is an important protective factor, and smoking and drinking less.

Every man should reduce his exposure to chemical substances and know how to have a healthy prostate. He also needs to pay attention to his daily diet to reduce the possibility of developing prostate cancer. At the same time, all prostate cancer patients must face the disease calmly.
