Because September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we're putting the spotlight on prevention and early detection of the cancer that will be diagnosed in one in six men in their lifetime, and that will kill one in 34 of those men.
What are the other factors that can increase your risk of prostate cancer?: Family history of prostate cancer - If a close relative had prostate cancer, your risk may be increased and annual screenings are suggested for those 45 and older.
What Can You Do to Prevent Prostate Cancer? To decrease your risk of prostate cancer, Bastyr Center for Natural Health urges men - especially those who fit the above risk factors - to embrace a preventive approach to prostate cancer that focuses on a healthy diet, exercise and balanced lifestyle.
While prostate cancer may not cause signs or symptoms in its early stages, more advanced signs and symptoms can include: Trouble urinating, loss of bladder control Decreased force in the stream of urine Blood in your urine and/or semen Swelling in your legs Weakness or numbness in the legs or feet Pain or discomfort in the spine, hips or other bones Weight loss and fatigue What to Do if You're Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer If you or somebody you know already has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the good news is that there are ways to fight the disease.
Eat less meat and dairy products Recently, a dietary survey published in the National Cancer Institute indicates that people with excessive consumption of meat and dairy products have greater risks of developing prostate cancer.
The reason is that food rich in animal fat will increase the level of sexual hormones and further increase the risk of cancer for that prostate cancer is quite sensitive to the level of hormone in the blood.
