What are the causes of prostate cancer?

There are many reasons for prostate cancer in men, especially genetic factors, which are often unavoidable. Disease factors can also lead to prostate cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment as soon as possible.

1. Age factor: The older a man is, the greater the chance of developing prostate cancer, because the body's immune system is weakened. So as you get older, you should pay more attention to your body and go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible if any problem occurs.

2. Genetic factors: If there are prostate cancer patients among the relatives, then the chances of the offspring developing prostate cancer are also relatively high. Ten percent of the patients have a family history of the disease.

3. Hormonal factors: Most patients have male hormone receptors on the surface of prostate cancer cells. Without hormone stimulation, prostate cells shrink and degenerate. The more male hormones are secreted, the greater the chance of developing prostate cancer. For example, those who have been castrated since childhood or have dysplasia have a lower chance of developing prostate cancer.

4. Dietary factors: In daily life, you need to be careful when consuming foods that contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, as these foods can easily induce prostate cancer.

5. Infection factors: Long-term chronic bacterial or viral infection will greatly increase the chance of prostate cancer, so you need to pay more attention. These are some of the causes of prostate cancer, so you need to pay more attention to it. When you find it, you must actively treat it. Once prostate cancer worsens, it will also induce other diseases, so it must not be ignored. As a man, you must also go to the hospital regularly for some physical examinations.
