Prostate Cancer Prevention: What You Can Do
Prostate cancer doesn’t have a clear cause, but there are some factors you can keep an eye on, and lifestyle changes you can make to protect yourself.
Who’s Most at Risk?
- Men over 50: Age is a major factor.
- Men with a family history: If your father or brother had prostate cancer, your risk is higher.
- High PSA levels: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing is critical. If your levels are high, you need to take action – fast.
For men in high-risk groups, regular PSA screenings are a must. Don’t let embarrassment stand in the way of your health!
Easy Lifestyle Tips to Protect Your Prostate
Want to keep your prostate in top shape? Here are some simple, effective habits to adopt:
- Stay hydrated: Water keeps your urinary system running smoothly.
- Move your body: Regular exercise lowers your overall cancer risk.
- Pee when you need to: Don’t hold it – it puts stress on your bladder and prostate.
- Take breaks: Sitting for long periods can harm your prostate health. Get up and move!
Taking control of your health starts with small changes. Combine these with regular check-ups, and you’re giving yourself the best chance to avoid serious prostate issues.
