Who are the high-risk groups for prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is one of the diseases with a higher incidence rate among the male population. I believe everyone knows the harm of this disease. So, who are the high-risk groups for prostate cancer? I believe this is a problem that male compatriots generally care about. The following is a detailed introduction by our experts. Let’s take a look.

1. Sexually promiscuous people are more likely to develop prostate cancer. A British survey found that men who have promiscuous sex lives when they are young may have a higher chance of developing prostate cancer in the future. The survey pointed out that if a man has many sexual partners around the age of 20, he has a high chance of being infected with human papillomavirus (HpV). Usually decades later, this infection may cause a series of gene mutations, leading to cancer. HPV has been proven to be closely related to cervical cancer in women, and may also cause prostate cancer in men.

2. Men who sit too high are more likely to develop prostate cancer. A research report stated that after studying the human anatomy of 28 prostate cancer patients, it was found that these patients sat higher on chairs than healthy people of the same height. Further research showed that those with high concentrations of the sex hormone testosterone increased their "sitting height" faster during development than those with normal testosterone concentrations. High concentrations of testosterone can induce subtle changes in prostate cells, stimulate the growth of cancer cells, and thus lead to the occurrence of prostate cancer in adulthood.

3. Bald men are more likely to develop prostate cancer. Bald men are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer as non-bald men. Studies have found that hair loss may be caused by testosterone levels during adolescence, and the risk of prostate cancer in men may be related to testosterone levels in the body, and this hidden danger appears as early as adolescence. In addition, hormones are also related to baldness, which may explain the relationship between baldness and prostate cancer.

4. Lustful people are more likely to develop prostate cancer. Experts believe that in addition to diet and lifestyle habits, excessive visual and psychological sexual stimulation leads to vigorous secretion of male hormones, which is a predisposing factor for prostate cancer. Sexual stimulation is related to rapid growth of the prostate. It is reported that prostate diseases are closely related to lifestyle and diet. Studies have found that the cholesterol content in hyperplastic and inflamed prostate glands is twice that of normal glands. Increased cholesterol is a predisposing factor for prostate cancer. The cause of prostate cancer is also related to hormones, especially androgens, which may play an important role.

5. Obese men are more likely to develop prostate cancer. A new study found that obese men have twice the risk of developing prostate cancer compared to people of normal weight. Researchers say that any effort to lose weight is likely to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, and the incidence of prostate cancer in men in developed countries is steadily increasing.

6. Men who work night shifts are more likely to develop prostate cancer. Irregular shifts disrupt the body's biological clock, which reduces the secretion of melatonin, which inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. This may explain why men with irregular working hours are more likely to develop prostate cancer.

The above are several high-risk groups for prostate cancer given by experts. So, if the majority of male compatriots find that they have these situations in their lives, they should be vigilant and adjust their lifestyle habits as soon as possible. Only in this way can they effectively avoid the occurrence of the disease.
