Men should be alert to prostate cancer if they have these abnormalities

1. Obstructive symptoms

The growth of prostate cancer will compress the urethra, which may cause symptoms similar to prostate hyperplasia in both men and women, such as frequent urination, increased nocturia, easily interrupted and slow urine flow, thin urine flow, incomplete urination or difficulty urinating. In severe cases, it may also cause dribbling or retention of urine. If a man has these abnormalities in his body, he must be alert to possible signs of prostate cancer, and he must take it seriously and go to the hospital in time to seek professional advice and treatment.

2. Metastatic symptoms

Generally speaking, when prostate cancer tumors invade the capsule and the surrounding nerves, pubic pain, lower abdominal pain, and sciatica may occur; if it invades the bladder triangle, hematuria, dysuria, etc. may occur; more seriously, when it invades the seminal vesicle, semen may be bloody or hematospermia.

How should men prevent prostate cancer? Experts also give suggestions

1. In addition to the physical examination, two more examinations are required

If prostate cancer is found in the early stage, it is completely curable, but unfortunately, most of the patients who are diagnosed with prostate cancer are in the middle and late stages. In fact, middle-aged men only need to do two tests every year - prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and rectal examination, which can predict prostate cancer in advance. Generally, men over 50 years old are recommended to do it once a year, especially men with urinary system diseases. A PSA test costs only a hundred yuan, and a rectal examination is even cheaper. This is nothing for modern people. Moreover, many people now have the habit of having a physical examination every year. Adding these two tests to the physical examination can better prevent it.

2. Eat more of these foods

Studies have found that vitamins can affect the incidence of prostate cancer to a great extent. In normal times, you can eat more fresh vegetables such as spinach, radish, tomato, pumpkin, cabbage, as well as whole grains and coarse grains. Then, try to smoke less or not drink, eat less or no spicy food, etc. Develop good work and rest habits, ensure balanced nutrition, and get enough sleep. These are all very helpful in preventing prostate cancer.
