What can we do to prevent prostate cancer

In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer has gradually increased, mainly concentrated in people over 50 years old. Moreover, this is a disease that gradually increases with age. The absolute risk factors are age and genetics. Therefore, the prevention of prostate cancer needs to be based on these two aspects. The following are measures to prevent prostate cancer:

What can you do to prevent prostate cancer?

1. Reasonable diet: The occurrence of prostate cancer is closely related to the dietary structure and frequency of use. Medical research shows that a high-fat diet is a recognized risk factor. The incidence of prostate cancer is also higher in areas where the calcium content of drinking water is high. Therefore, you should eat more vegetables and fruits in your daily diet to reduce the occurrence of constipation and reduce the risk of prostate congestion. In addition, it should be noted that you should not drink too much water. Try to drink less or no water after 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening and before going to bed. Do not eat watermelon or drink caffeinated beverages to avoid holding back urine and causing the full bladder to press on the prostate, causing congestion and obstruction.

2. Quit smoking: Tobacco is another important risk factor for prostate cancer. Medical staff should first set an example of not smoking and advise people to quit smoking to reduce the harm of tobacco to the human body.

3. Strengthen sex education: Studies have shown that the increased risk of prostate cancer is related to sexually transmitted diseases, especially gonorrhea and genital warts. Although the pathogenesis of prostate cancer has not been clearly defined, it is generally believed to be related to the imbalance of sex hormone regulation, but recently it has been suggested that some inflammations are related to prostate cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a healthy and positive sexual morality, moderate sex life, and have a stable sex life partner to ensure a happy marriage. Medical staff should actively publicize and guide, and carry out sex education with a serious and scientific attitude, so as to improve people's ability to correctly understand sex, understand sexual hygiene, maintain a normal and healthy sex life, and prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer.

4. Develop a good life routine: A regular life, regular daily routine, and a fixed amount of food for each meal can protect the prostate. Drink more water and urinate more. Frequent flushing of the urethra with urine can help discharge prostate secretions to prevent infection. Do not hold urine too much, because holding urine will increase the tension of the prostate capsule, which will aggravate prostate hyperplasia in the long run. Do not have too much mental stress and develop a positive and reasonable attitude towards life.

5. Regular physical examination: Regular blood tests for prostate-specific antibodies (pSA) are performed for men over 40 years old to detect prostate cancer at an early stage. Prostate cancer in my country is characterized by a long latent period, insidious onset, and difficulty in distinguishing from diseases such as prostate hyperplasia. Most clinically confirmed cases have distant metastasis. Therefore, screening for early detection of prostate cancer is particularly important.

6. Keep clean: The male scrotum is highly elastic and secretes more sweat. In addition, the genitals are poorly ventilated, the foreskin is too long, phimosis, etc., which can easily hide dirt and dirt. Local bacteria often take advantage of the situation to enter. If you don't pay attention to it in time, serious infection will occur, leading to prostatitis, decreased sexual function, and in severe cases, it will affect the quality of semen and lead to male infertility. Therefore, insisting on cleaning the perineum is an important part of preventing prostatitis.

Age and genetic history are the main factors that lead to prostate cancer, but unfortunately, these are two factors that cannot be changed. Of course, this does not mean that prostate cancer cannot be prevented. We can start with health care, such as exercising more in daily life and adding more anti-cancer substances to our diet.
