How can men prevent prostate cancer

Since the exact cause, process and mechanism of prostate cancer are not yet fully understood, there is no effective method to prevent prostate cancer. However, the following methods can indeed reduce the risk of prostate cancer, but they should be persisted.

Regular inspection

When men have their health checked, especially older men, they should pay special attention to prostate examinations and use scientific methods to conduct detailed examinations to facilitate early detection.

Consume adequate amounts of selenium-rich foods

Studies have shown that men with higher selenium concentrations in their blood have a 4 to 5 times lower risk of developing prostate cancer. The organic selenium in green vegetables is more conducive to human absorption, so men can eat more green vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, etc.

Eat more soy products

Soybeans contain an antioxidant called trihydroxyisoflavones, which has strong anti-cancer properties, so it is best to eat more soy products.

Appropriate use of sex hormones

The occurrence of prostate cancer is closely related to sex hormones. If the secretion of male sex hormones is insufficient, appropriate amounts of sex hormones can be used under the guidance of a doctor, but sex hormones should not be used on their own or in excess, especially for older men who are already at high risk of prostate cancer. Once prostate cancer is in the latent stage, the consequences of using sex hormones will be more serious. Therefore, men should not use sex hormones on their own, let alone take androgen aphrodisiacs sold on the market excessively.
