  1. Beware of the 5 Warning Signs of Prostate Cancer “1 in 8 men is at the risk!” Men aren't generally the ones that maintain track of their health. Diseases like Urethral Stricture and Prostate Cancer are the most common diseases which men are prone. In recent studies, it has been found that 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at some point in their life. Prostate cancer is slowly growing in men. Prostate cancer usually affects older men. The average age of diagnosis is 66 years old. However, it can occur in younger men as well. What is Prostate Cancer? Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate gland. The prostate gland is a small, walnut-sized organ that is located in front of the rectum and below the bladder. The prostate gland produces semen, which helps to transport sperm during ejaculation. What are the Causes behind Prostate Cancer? The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown. However, several risk factors may increase a man's chance of developing the disease. These include: ●Age: The risk of prostate cancer increases with age. In fact, most cases occur in men over the age bracket of 50- 60. ●Family History: Men with a father or brother who has had prostate cancer are more likely to develop the disease themselves. ●Obesity: Men who are obese or overweight have an increased risk of prostate cancer. ●Race: It has been found that certain races are at a much higher risk of prostate cancer than others. If you have any of these risk factors, it's important to talk to your doctor about your risks and what you can do to reduce them. Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Cancer There are several warning signs and symptoms of prostate cancer. One of the most common symptoms is difficulty in urinating. This can be caused by an enlarged prostate, which can block the urethra and make urinating difficult. Other symptoms include a weak or interrupted urinary stream, blood in the urine, and pain or burning during urination.

  2. Prostate cancer can also cause erectile dysfunction. This is because the prostate surrounds the urethra, which carries urine and semen out of the body. When the prostate is enlarged, it can press on the urethra and interfere with sexual function. Other symptoms of prostate cancer include fatigue, weight loss, and bone pain. If you have any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor so that they can rule out other potential causes and determine if you have prostate cancer.
