Title: Prostate Cancer


1
Prostate Cancer In general, cancer is a
condition in which a normal cell becomes abnormal
and starts to grow uncontrollably without having
the signals or brakes that stop typical cell
growth. The prostate is a small gland located
below the bladder that is responsible for
secreting one of the components of semen.
Prostate cancer cells form masses of abnormal
cells known as tumors.

  • Although there is no proven prostate cancer
    prevention strategy, following some factors may
    reduce the risk of prostate cancer.Symptoms of
    prostate cancer includesfrequent urination,
    interrupted urine flow, urge to urinate
    frequently at night, blood in the urine, pain
    during urination associated with burning
    sensation, discomfort or pain when sitting.
  • Low fat diet- A study shows men who ate the
    highest amount of fat each day had an increased
    risk of prostate cancer. So limit fatty foods or
    choose low fat varieties. Reduce the amount of
    fat in cooking like butter, ghee, cheese etc.  
  • 2) Increase fruits and vegetables- Fruits and
    vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals and
    antioxidants which are necessary to build a
    strong immunity, thus reducing the risk of
    prostate cancer.  
  • 3) Reduce the amount of dairy products- A study
    reveals that regular and excess intake of dairy
    products like cheese, yoghurt etc can increase
    the risk of prostate cancer.

Be vigilant, live healthy, and dont give up.
 This disease can be conquered.  4)  Smoking-
Cigarette smoke contains more than 70 harmful
chemicals which are known carcinogenic. So it is
one of the causes of cancer. Men who smoke
regularly have increased risk of prostate and
other cancers.   5) Alcohol- Regular and
excessive intake of alcohol can always trigger
different types of cancer including prostate
cancer.  6) Exercise- Men who are obese, with
BMI( Body Mass Index) of 30 and higher may have
an increased risk of prostate cancer. Regular
exercise will reduce body weight and have many
other health benefits which will reduce the risk
of heart disease and other cancers. 7)
Periodical Check Up- We often neglect to check
our health when we are not sick. But after 40
years, periodical  health  check up is very
necessary for early diagnosis of any disease
including cancer.
