What a Man should do for Enlarged Prostate before Cancer Cells Forming?
Prostate cancer is the main cancer found in men. Most men will have an enlarged prostate by age of 50. According to statistic, three of these men will have cancer cells forming in their prostate. By age of 75, three out of four men will have prostate cancer.
The statement is clear that most men have to deal with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), refers to increase in the size of the prostate gland that typically occurs with aging. Some necessary actions have to be taken to reduce the risk of prostate cancer if you are a male who care of your health.
First of all, you have to be aware of those BPH symptoms, either classified as storage or voiding, as listed below:
• urinary frequency
• urgency incontinence
• always getting up at night to urinate
• Pain and having difficult urinating
• Intermittency and dribbling
• Feel pain while having sex
It is advisable to schedule a checkup with your doctor as soon as possible when you encounter few symptoms as mentioned above. The following are some medical test you can get:
• Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) – PSA is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland and present in small quantities in the serum of normal men. However, it is often elevated in the presence of prostate cancer or BPH. A blood test to measure PSA gives an indication of prostate health condition.
• Biopsy – If you have a PSA test and either is abnormal, the next step in most cases is to refer you to an urologist. One of the tests the urologist may recommend is biopsy to find out if you do have prostate cancer. It also gives information about the cancer’s “grade” (how rapidly it is likely to grow).
• Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP) – PSA is an enzyme produced by the prostate. It may be found in increased amounts in men who have prostate cancer or other diseases. The PAP test is a blood test that measures PAP to determine the health of the prostate gland. Prostate dysfunction results in the release of PAP into the blood. This test is more accurate than PSA.
• Sonogram – Ultrasound imaging of the prostate is commonly used to assess the size of the gland. Ultrasound evaluation of prostate cancer is limited by difficulty in distinguishing benign from malignant tissue.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging – MRI is the most expensive test. The use of MRI without endorectal coil can detect prostate cancer and provide undistorted images with diagnostic image quality and accurate tumor localization
The ideal way to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and avoid undergo cancer treatment is to take care of prostate health via healthy lifestyle. There are few personal health care tips you can apply in your daily life to improve your prostate health:

It is especially advised that you eat plenty of vegetables that contain lycopene, such as tomatoes, since this is supposed to improve prostate health.
• Exercise daily – It is advisable to do exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.
• Eliminate addictive substances – Those addictive substances include smoking, alcohol, coffee, etc
• Medical Checkup Yearly – Make it a practice to have a medical checkup every year so you can detect prostate cancer and other health issues before they get out of hand.
• Consider taking a vitamin or supplement – It is recommended that you take vitamin E and lycopene supplements for your prostate health.
