What are the causes of prostate cancer

At present, there is no clear answer to the cause of prostate cancer in clinical practice. Doctors currently believe that this disease is related to genetic and environmental factors. In daily life, we should pay attention to prevention and protection in this regard. The following is a brief introduction to the causes of prostate cancer.

It is currently believed that the prerequisites for the development of prostate cancer are male sex, increased age and androgen stimulation, and other factors such as genetic predisposition, exposure to chemicals, diet, etc. Recently, it has been suggested that sexually transmitted diseases, vasectomy and prostate cancer are related.

Factors that cause prostate cancer

1: Age factor. The older you are, the higher the chance of developing prostate cancer.

2: Genetic factors. People with blood relatives who have prostate cancer have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer than the average person; in other words, about 9% of prostate cancer patients have a family history of the disease.

3: Hormonal factors. Most prostate cancer cells have male hormone receptors on their surface. Without male hormone stimulation, prostate cancer cells will shrink and degenerate. It can be said that the more male hormone secreted, the more likely a person is to develop prostate cancer. For this reason, people who have been castrated or have testicular dysplasia will not develop prostate cancer, but I believe no man is willing to pay this price to stay away from prostate cancer.

4: Dietary factors. If you consume a lot of saturated fatty acids in your daily diet, you should be careful. Saturated fatty acids are inducers of prostate cancer.

5: Infection factors: Long-term, chronic bacterial or viral infections will greatly increase the chance of prostate cancer.

6: Environmental factors. Cadmium pollution in the environment can also increase the incidence of prostate cancer.

In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer has remained high, so male friends should pay more attention to this aspect in their lives, strengthen personal hygiene and exercise, strive to improve their physical fitness and resistance, pay attention to relevant knowledge about prostate cancer in a timely manner, and actively defend and resist the invasion of prostate cancer.
