How do you get prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a malignant disease of the reproductive system that threatens the health and life of men. Many men do not know the cause of their disease after the disease occurs. Nowadays, the incidence of this disease is increasing year by year, which has to attract our attention. So how does prostate cancer get?

1. Absolute risk factors:

(1) Age: Age is a major risk factor for prostate cancer. Men over 45 are at high risk of prostate cancer, and most prostate cancer patients are over 65 years old. In other words, the older you are, the higher the incidence rate.

(2) Family history: When a male direct relative of a family has the disease, the incidence rate of the family will increase, and the probability of prostate cancer will be twice that of the general population; if two of them appear alternately, the probability will be three times higher. The specific cause of inheritance is still unclear.

(3) Race: There are also differences in prostate cancer among different races. The incidence rate among black Americans is the highest, and the incidence rate in other regions is also increasing day by day. There may be regional differences.

(4) Abnormal cell lesions in the prostate: Some male patients have high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia in the prostate, which significantly increases the risk of developing prostate cancer. High-grade intraepithelial neoplasia is a precancerous lesion of the prostate, indicating the presence of prostate cancer.

2. Relative risk factors:

(1) Diet: Diet is also a key reason. If men always eat high-fat animal foods, the incidence of prostate cancer is relatively high, especially red meat, because these foods contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. If men eat more fruits and vegetables in their daily diet, the incidence is relatively low.

(2) Androgen level: When a man's androgen level is too high, it is also a key cause of prostate cancer. This is because androgen is also an unfavorable factor that promotes the growth of prostate cancer.

To sum up, there are many factors that cause prostate cancer, and we need to pay attention to them. Therefore, male friends must pay attention to maintaining good living habits, developing healthy eating habits, exercising more, promoting their own blood circulation, and improving resistance to keep these diseases away from us.
