Prostate Prevention to Decrease the Risk of Disease
When it comes to prostate disease prevention is the
name of the game. There are many ways for men to decrease the risk of
getting prostate cancer, including eating a healthy diet and getting
regular exercise. But the main key to preventing prostate disease is to
make regular visits to the doctor. There are quite a few studies that
have shown that if all men between the ages of 30 and 40 would get
regular physicals that include prostate exams and blood tests they would
have a ninety percent chance of surviving prostate cancer simply because
it would be caught in its earliest stages.
It is important for men who have a father or brother with prostate
cancer to have regular prostate screenings because they have twice the
risk of developing this disease as they grow older. If farther down the
family line other members of a mans family also contracted and suffered
from or passed away from the affects of prostate cancer then the risk
factor increases by six. This is why it is so important for men who have
a hereditary risk to have regular screenings with their doctor.
A PSA blood test and digital rectal exam, along with reports of known
symptoms, are the two ways in which a doctor can diagnose any problems a
man may be having with his prostate. If symptoms are not present these
two tests are still the best way to detect prostate disease for men. Men
who are at high risk because of genetic factors should begin to undergo
screenings as early as thirty years of age. Men who are not high risk
need to begin having their prostate routinely tested at around the age
of 40.
Starting to get routine prostate screenings at a younger age is becoming
more important from a preventative stand point. Men in these age groups
will usually have a negative result, but this only stresses the
importance of including good diet choices, exercise, and dietary
supplements for all men as a form of prostate disease prevention. Even
of more importance is the ability to detect and treat prostate problems
at the earliest possible time, which is the rationale behind being
tested at a younger age.
The second most important part of any prostate disease prevention
program, after regular doctor checkups, is eating a healthy diet. This
includes lycopene, from tomato sauce, and isoflavones from soy are two
big dietary additions that can help prevent or minimize the spread of
prostate cancer. Not only can men reduce the risk of prostate disease,
but by following a healthy diet and exercise program they can lower
their risk of other health problems. |
