Prevention and early detection of prostate cancer
How to prevent prostate cancer? Prevention of prostate cancer involves avoiding risk factors whenever possible and undergoing regular preventive examinations.
Diet
In this case, special importance is attached to vegetables and fruits (tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, soybeans, grapes and others) and limiting foods containing animal fats and calcium. In addition, research has shown that the incidence of prostate cancer decreases when the proportion of plant-based foods, especially soy, in the diet increases.
It contains phytoestrogens. These substances reduce the content of male hormones in the body. At the same time, the body does not lose its masculine qualities, but the likelihood of prostate cancer is significantly reduced.
Carotenoids and alpha-tocopherol for the prevention of prostate cancer
Carotenoids and alpha-tocopherol (beta-carotene and vitamin E) play a major role in the prevention of prostate cancer. They are found mainly in products of plant origin (vegetables and fruits).
Lifestyle
At the same time, it is worth limiting tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse and increasing the level of physical activity. Exercise can help reduce excess weight, which is thought to be a risk factor for prostate cancer.
Early detection of prostate cancer
Sometimes prostate cancer can be detected in its early stages, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment. Screening tests are used to detect prostate cancer in people who do not have any symptoms.
Starting from the age of 40, it is recommended to carry out a PSA level test and an examination by a urologist once a year. If you have any complaints (symptoms), you must promptly contact a urologist to undergo a comprehensive examination.
