Prostate health is becoming very crucial as statistics show that prostate cancer is now the number two cancer killer of American men.
Cancer of the prostate mostly affects older men ( over 50 years old ) and is a major cause of death for elderly men.The prostate is a male organ found in the pelvis area under the urinary bladder. It is a part of the male reproductive organs.
The main function of this organ is to store and secrete the seminal fluid. For this gland to work properly it requires male hormones known as androgens which includes the testosterone made in the testes and other hormones. Therefore prostate diseases will usually affect urination and ejaculation.
During the early part of this cancer there might not be any symptoms and diagnosis is done through the routine screening test known as PSA.
But the usual symptoms would be frequent urination, increased urination at night, difficulty starting and maintaining a steady stream of urine, blood in the urine, and painful urination.
Prostate cancer also causes problems in the sexual functions of the male such as difficult in getting an erection or painful ejaculation.
If the cancer spreads to the other parts of the body, then other symptoms would be, bone pain, especially in the spine, pelvis or ribs.The spread to the spine would cause weakness of the legs.
The specific causes of prostate cancer is still not known but it is generally believed that age, genetics, race, diet, lifestyle and medications are the risk factors in developing this disease.
Prevention of the cancer is possible and several medication and daily intake of some plant sources known as phytoestrogens have been known to assist in the prevention of this cancer.
Nutrients that strengthen the body’s immune system together with Vitamin intake of C and E and minerals selenium and zinc have also been used successfully in the prevention of this slow growing cancer.
Certain doctors have also had remarkably good results by giving a diet of mostly raw food and fresh vegetable juice to cancer patients.
But these preventive measures need to be started early. It is recommended that men in their twenties start taking care of their prostate health for the greatest effect as they grow older.
