Diseases like cancer earlier used to make the elderly their victims. But now in the changing times, along with the elderly, young people have also started falling prey to it, which is a matter of concern. We are talking about Prostate Cancer which happens to men.
Earlier the risk of prostate cancer was after the age of 60 years, but now people of 30 to 40 years of age are also falling prey to it. In such a situation, let us know what the youth should do to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
A recent research says that in 2022, more than 38 thousand cases of prostate cancer will be recorded in India alone. Health experts say that the cause of prostate cancer is genetic mutation in the body, that is, when there is a change in the DNA in the body, the risk of cancer increases.
It can be genetic and if someone in the family has had prostate cancer, then it is possible that the people of the coming generation may also become victims of it. However, along with genetic reasons, lifestyle related reasons like weight gain, stress and high BP can also be said to be responsible for prostate cancer.
The initial symptoms of prostate cancer are not serious and hence people ignore it. Intermittent urination, bleeding in urine, pain while passing urine are common symptoms of prostate cancer.
Many measures can be taken to prevent prostate cancer. Your lifestyle should be kept balanced. It is important to control weight and keep BP under control. Although nothing can be done in case of genetic reasons, such people should definitely get themselves checked from time to time. Urine should be checked from time to time by a urologist. To detect prostate cancer, PSA test and antigen test should be done from time to time. Prostate cancer can be prevented by regular exercise, maintaining distance from alcohol and smoking, proper and balanced diet, adequate sleep and staying away from stress.
