Introduction to common causes of prostate cancer

At present, the specific cause of prostate cancer is still not completely clear, but according to clinical research, there are several possible situations that are the main factors leading to prostate cancer, such as genetic factors. Some prostate cancer patients have a family structure. In addition, these patients also have obvious genetic genes in their bodies. The following are some possible high-risk causes:

1. Genetic factors

People who have blood relatives with prostate cancer have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer than the average person; in other words, about 9% of prostate cancer patients have a family history of the disease.

2. Environmental factors

Cadmium pollution in the environment can also increase the incidence of prostate cancer.

3. Dietary factors

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.

4. Age Factor

The older you are, the higher your chance of developing prostate cancer.

5. Infection factors

Long-term, chronic bacterial or viral infections can greatly increase the chance of developing prostate cancer.

In most cases, prostate cancer is caused by long-term accumulation. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly men, especially those over 45 years old. Relatively speaking, the most threatening factors are heredity and age. It is recommended that men with these two factors start regular examinations at the age of 45 to detect prostate cancer in time.
