The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, and in early-stage prostate cancer showed no symptoms. Once cancer develops, a larger tumor will press on surrounding body parts. Other symptoms that may occur are soreness at the time of ejaculation of bloody ejaculation fluid. If the cancer has spread to other organs, symptoms are more varied. For example the spread in the bone can cause pain in bones and joints.
thus, in the early stages, prostate cancer is asymptomatic. Once cancer develops, symptoms will appear but not typical, similar to symptoms of BPH (Benigh Prostatic Hyperplasia), benign prostate enlargement are diseases that are often seen in elderly men. Consequently, it is difficult to distinguish the two diseases so that the necessary checks that can detect early and simultaneously differentiate between prostate cancer and BPH.
There are some things that can increase a person’s risk of prostate cancer or cause of prostate cancer are age and family history. Hormones, diet high in fat, and toxins are also cited as risk factors for prostate cancer, although the relation is not clear.
Several prostate cancer symptoms and BHP are:
- Frequent urination;
- Difficult urination;
- Pain while urinating;
- Urine (urine), bleeding;
- Pain during ejaculation;
- bloody ejaculation fluid;
- Erectile disorders;
- hip or back pain.
Basically, a risk factor for prostate cancer is determined by two things, namely the genetic factors and environmental factors. The role of the environment is evident from studies which found an increase of migration in prostate cancer incidence in first-generation immigrants from Japan and China in the United States. From this research, we made the hypothesis that a diet or food play a role as one of the causes of the occurrence or spread of prostate cancer.
