Early detection of prostate cancer can be cured, don't ignore these symptoms

【Biden is also infected! Early detection of prostate cancer can be cured, don't ignore these symptoms】80-year-old Biden working with cancer? Prostate cancer has become a "silent killer" for men

1️⃣ How common is prostate cancer?

▪️ The second most common cancer in men, 1 in 8 people over 50 years old suffer from it

▪️ Good news: 5-year survival rate for early detection is > 99%!

2️⃣ Six major danger signs

⚠️ Frequent and urgent urination (≥2 times at night)

⚠️ Weak urine flow, painful urination

⚠️ Hematuria or blood in semen

⚠️ Continuous pain in the pelvis/lower back

3️⃣ These three types of people are the most dangerous

✅ Father/brother with prostate cancer (3 times higher risk!)

✅ Long-term high-fat diet, obesity

✅ Men over 50 years old (Biden was 80 years old when diagnosed)

4️⃣ Screening only requires two tricks

▪️ PSA test: blood test for prostate antigen (recommended for 40 years old)

▪️ Rectal examination: doctor palpates the hardness of the prostate

Treatment is divided into stages

▪️ Early stage: surgery/radiotherapy can be cured

▪️ Late stage: hormone therapy + targeted drugs (Biden treatment plan)

Three things to do for prevention

✅ Eat less red meat and fried foods, eat more tomatoes (containing lycopene)

✅ PSA test once a year (must be done after 50 years old!)

✅ Keep exercising and avoid sitting for long periods of time to compress the prostate
