What is prostate cancer? Is it related to age?

Because cancer has a great impact on physical health and even threatens the length of life, many people are terrified when talking about cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease unique to men. In the past few years, there were very few people suffering from this disease in my country. Although the number of people suffering from this disease has gradually increased in recent years, many people do not know about this disease. So, what is prostate cancer?

1. What is prostate cancer ? Prostate cancer is a malignant disease in which the tissue of the prostate gland becomes cancerous. In Europe and the United States, the incidence of this disease is very high, and the mortality rate is not low. This disease has a certain relationship with age. China has now entered an aging society. In addition, China's living standards are gradually improving, and lifestyles are also changing. The incidence of this disease is also gradually increasing.

2. Symptoms of prostate cancer
1. Obstruction symptoms: Generally, after the onset of prostate cancer, men will have symptoms such as difficulty urinating, hematuria, dysuria, and urinary incontinence. Care should be taken to distinguish it from other urinary system diseases.
2. Local infiltration symptoms: When the prostate tissue becomes cancerous, the adjacent organs will also be affected, so some men will have symptoms such as ejaculation pain, low back pain, and testicular pain.
3. Other metastatic symptoms: If the disease progresses further, bone metastasis is likely to occur. If bone metastasis causes nerve compression, there will not only be bone pain symptoms, but fractures may also occur easily.

3. Causes of Prostate Cancer
1. Related to diet: Eating high-fat foods frequently: Unreasonable eating habits may induce the occurrence of this disease. For example, eating high-fat foods frequently will lead to increased secretion of male hormones, which can easily induce prostate cancer. Carcinogens in food: Some people usually prefer to eat boiled fish and boiled meat. Although these foods can satisfy the taste buds, these foods contain a substance called aromatic amine, which is a carcinogen. If men consume too much, it is easy to induce prostate cancer. Drinking milk for a long time: Drinking milk can strengthen the body, but it must be moderate, because men who drink milk frequently may cause prostate cancer.
2. Related to the environment: If you live in a polluted environment for a long time and are frequently exposed to toxic chemicals, this disease may also be induced.
