Prostate Cancer
Underwear For Men is pleased to recognize September as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in men in the US. However, 98% of men, if diagnosed early, survive. If you are over 50, this is a must read.
Be aware. Be informed.
More than 200,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Prostate cancer is treatable by a medical professional. It requires a medical diagnosis and lab tests or imaging.
Prostate cancer symptoms include frequent urination, dull pain in the lower back, trouble urinating and blood in the urine. But sometimes, there are no symptoms at all. Some types of prostate cancers grow slowly and can be monitored by a doctor. Some are aggressive and require radiation, surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments.
Risk Factors
Age: As men age, their risk of prostate cancer increases. It is recommended that men over 50 years old talk to their doctors about screening. If you have a higher risk due to family history or ethnicity, get checked earlier. Since there isn’t a way to prevent prostate cancer, it is important to keep your prostate healthy. Eat right, exercise, watch your weight and quit smoking.
Diet: Men who are obese have a greater risk of dying from prostate cancer. It is important to lose weight and keep it off.
Ethnicity: African-American men have the highest risk of getting prostate cancer. There are 200 cases for every 100,000 men.
Family History: Men with a family history of prostate cancer, face the highest risk. They are 2 in 11 times more at-risk than men without family history.
Smoking: Men who smoke double their risk of getting prostate cancer. The risk goes down within 10 years of quitting.
Underwear For Men Will Be There to Support Your Manhood Before, During, and After Prostate Cancer
Being diagnosed with prostate cancer is a scary thing. Depending on the stage of cancer, your doctor might suggest a biopsy, wait and see, radiation, surgery, cryotherapy, hormone therapy or chemotherapy. Some of the temporary and long-term symptoms from the treatments can include incontinence, erectile dysfunction and impotence. Be informed of the risks for each kind of treatment.
