Why prostate is a big concern?
Normally, prostate is quite a small gland. On average it weighs about 20 grams.
It is very common for prostate gland to enlarge as men age. The enlargement starts when the man is 20-25 years old.
By consequence, by age 70, more than 40% of men experience its enlargement that causes weaker or slower urination.
What are prostate cancer causes?
There are various causes of prostate cancer that you should be aware of.
- Man's age plays the most important role.
As man's age increases, the chance of being diagnosed with this disease increases also.
Comonlly, prostate cancer is diagnosed in men over 60 but has been shown to affect much younger men.
- Genetics (family history) is also one of the causes.
The risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer bears a close relationship with history of this disease in your family.
That means your chances increase dramatically if your grandfather, father, uncle or brother have ever been diagnosed
with the condition.
- Diet is another possible causes.
Doctors believe that high intake of saturated fat and calcium increase the risk.
Instead, you should have a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Race
Doctors still do not fully understand it, but statistics show with no doubt
that African-Caribbean or African-American males have a much higher risk
of getting the disease compared to men who are Asian and Caucasian.
