What is Prostate Cancer?

 

The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid and nourishes the sperm. When there is cancer in the prostate gland, its growth can be slow and limited, which does not require medical help or it can grow severely and spread to nearby organs.

Prostate cancer is increasing rapidly in men. After 40 years of age it increases rapidly in men. If a person's family has this disease, then they should undergo prostate specific antigen (PSA) test every year after the age of 40 years. A person who does not have a prostate cancer patient in his family, but is above 50 years of age, he will have to undergo PSA test every year.

If the volume of the PSA test increases, it has to be shown to the urologist. One out of every seven people is prone to prostate cancer. If the symptoms of prostate cancer are detected in the early stages then it is easy to prevent it.

The prostate gland is a gland of nut size that extends around the urethra (urine pipe). Its job is to neutralize the sperm. According to doctors, with aging, cases of prostate cancer in men are increasing day by day.

In the past two decades, post-cancer has increased rapidly in men of Asian descent, including India. In such a situation, it is important to convey the importance of prevention and information to the people. The size of the Prostate gland is 18 grams, but when it starts growing, it weighs 30 to 50 grams and even more. Especially after the age of 40, the size of Gland starts increasing.

When Gland's size is large, Urin stops the passage. Even after urin, the urin remains stored inside. According to doctors, despite the high rate, patients are not aware of this disease, because they consider it to be a part of growing age, which can be cured by a patient-centered awareness campaign.
