What are the causes of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a common type of urinary tumor in men. The incidence of this disease generally increases with age. It is extremely harmful to the health of male patients. Once it occurs, many patients will suffer. However, many patients do not know much about this disease and do not know why they have this disease. What are the causes of prostate cancer? Let us learn about it together in the following content.

First of all, the cause of prostate cancer is related to the patient's daily eating habits. After research and investigation, it was found that many patients usually like to eat some high-animal fat foods, which contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, and saturated fatty acids are one of the main causes of prostate cancer. After investigation, it was found that many deaths of prostate cancer patients are related to fat intake. However, people who usually like to eat some vegetables and fruits have a low chance of suffering from this disease.

The occurrence of prostate cancer is also related to the patient's age. Generally speaking, the chance of men suffering from this disease is very low over the age of 45. Then, the chance of suffering from prostate cancer will increase with age. Most patients with prostate cancer are over 65 years old. Therefore, the cause of prostate cancer is also related to age.

The occurrence of prostate cancer is also related to heredity. If a man has a direct blood relative with prostate cancer, then the probability of this man suffering from prostate cancer is much higher than that of a man without prostate cancer in the family. Because according to surveys, many patients with prostate cancer have prostate cancer patients in their families, so the incidence of this disease is also related to heredity.

In addition, the occurrence of prostate cancer is also related to viral infection. If the patient has had sexually transmitted diseases or chronic prostatitis before and did not receive timely treatment, the patient's prostate is often surrounded by bacteria. Then this virus is very likely to cause prostate cancer.

The above are the possible causes of prostate cancer. We can see that prostate cancer is not only related to genetics and age, but also inseparable from the patient's daily living habits. Therefore, male friends should develop good daily living habits, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less high-animal fat foods to prevent prostate cancer.
