Hi greatings beautiful people, hope we all doing great, am Utibe Effiong, an animal scientist by profession though I have a lot of association with art.. Am a new subscriber to the group and I hope my knowledge on the topic above will benefit us.
As an animal scientist one will expect me to be vested with only animal related knowledge, but no, that is not the case here. My lecturers and lectures had taught me to be versatile in learning vis-a-vis this knowledge. This topic (prostrate cancer) am about to discuss was gotten from my animal anatomy/physiology lectures, explained to our understanding by my lecturer.
Below is the breakdown and summary of what you have to know about prostrate cancer.
ABOUT PROSTRATE
*It is a walnut-size gland located between the bladder and the penis as shown in the picture below.
Health first photo.
*Starts becoming a problem from age 40 and above.
*Affects only men, though could be useful to women so has to help put their husbands on check.
*Enlarged prostrate is the reason your urinating process can't be has exciting has when you were much younger when your urine could reach up to the ceiling, as you grow that can't be achieved anymore because the prostate gland grows to block or reduce the flow of urine.
*Some of the problems of prostrate include, prostate enlargement, prostitis(inflammation of the prostrate), and prostrate cancer(which will be my major point of discussion for today).
PROSTRATE CANCER
Like I said before prostate related problems can only be found in older men, because of it enlargement. This is simply associated with the inflammation of the urethra due to the abnormal growth of the prostrate. I will take us through the signs/symptoms, causes and simple remedies that can be of great help to us.
SIGNS/SYMPTOMS OF PROSTRATE CANCER.
*Burning or pain during urination.
*Difficulty urinating, or trouble starting and stopping while urinating.
*More frequent urges to urinate at night.
Loss of bladder control.
*Decreased flow or velocity of urine stream.
*Blood in urine (hematuria)
*Blood in semen.
CAUSES OF PROSTATE CANCER.
*High consumption of red meat and milk. According to US National Cancer Institute 33 precent of cancer is caused by what we eat, so moderation in the consumption of some meal is advised.
*Lack of exercise which would have helped build the muscle tone. Men from 40 should avoid high impact exercise, brisk walking is advised.
*High intake of alcohol. Men of that age should avoid lot of alcohol as it increases risk.
*Smoking, this reduces circulation of blood around the pelvis groin.
*Wearing of tight trousers.
SIMPLE REMEDIES.
*Reduce the consumption of red meat and increase intake of vegetables and fruit.
Fruit such as tomatoes should be taken always. Tomatoes contains lycopene which is a good anti oxidant.
*Regular exercise is recommended.
*Pieces of lemon is a glass of hot water can safe you for the rest of your life says professor Chen Horin, Chief Executive of Biejin Military Hospital.
*Wear loose trousers and boxers.
*Avoid exposure to heavy metals.
CONCLUSION
The importance of the afore-explained topic cannot be over emphasized, there much importance should be attached to it, because it is often said that health is wealth.
I hope this piece of mine will go a long way to safe life.
Thank you.
