These two types of people are most likely to get prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the male reproductive system. Its incidence increases with age. Its incidence rate has obvious regional differences, and is higher in Europe and the United States. It is reported to be the second leading cause of cancer death in men, second only to lung cancer. People who usually have the following two habits are most likely to get prostate cancer!

Man sitting too high

A study from the Dukc University Medical Center reported that after studying the human anatomy of 28 prostate cancer patients, it was found that these patients sat higher on chairs than healthy people of the same height. Further research showed that those with high concentrations of the sex hormone testosterone increased their "sitting height" faster during development than those with normal testosterone concentrations. High concentrations of testosterone can induce subtle changes in prostate cells, stimulate the growth of cancer cells, and lead to the occurrence of prostate cancer in adulthood.

Sexual indulgence

A British survey found that men who have a promiscuous sex life when they are young may have a higher chance of developing prostate cancer in the future.

The survey pointed out that if a person has many sexual partners around the age of 20, he or she is likely to be infected with human papillomavirus (HpV). Usually decades later, this infection may lead to a series of gene mutations, leading to cancer. HPV has been proven to be closely related to cervical cancer in women and may also cause prostate cancer in men.

Although the idea is new, if proven, it could explain why 27,000 new cases of prostate cancer occur in men every year in the UK and 10,000 die from the disease - now almost as big a killer as cervical cancer in women.

The research report, which will be published soon, will point out a series of physiological, chemical and genetic links between HPV and prostate cancer.
