Symptoms of prostate cancer get informed now

Occurrence of prostate cancer is very high but it is not that harmful. Around 1 man in every 6 is diagnosed with prostate cancer in his life time but only 1 out of 34 actually dies because of prostate cancer. The most important thing when you are diagnosed with prostate cancer is don’t panic. There is absolutely no reason to panic because prostate cancer is slow growing and there is good chance that it won’t grow to such level where it becomes fatal. Second thing would be to change your diet to living foods. The male hormone testosterone contributes to the growth of cancer.
Make no mistake about it. Prostate cancer is deadly but it can be cured if it is caught in early stages. Most man nearly about eighty percent of men who reach the age of 80 is diagnosed with prostate cancer. The function of the prostate gland is to make seminal fluid, which is the milky substance that transports sperm.
Blood in the urine or semen is the most common symptom and other symptoms include frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. If you are suffering from any of these symptoms it is advisable that you get yourself checked. But since these symptoms can occur in other cases also it is important that you don’t get paranoid.
The best possible chance that we have against cancer is to detect it early. It is for this reason that you should undergo thorough examination if you manifest any of the above mentioned symptoms. And having one or more cancer symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have prostate cancer but it is important to be safe than worry.
A chest x ray would determine if the cancer has spread or your doctor might go for urinalysis to check if there is blood in the urine. These are the two most common methods of prostate cancer detection.
PSA tests are not a sure shot way to detect prostate cancer and continuous research is being done to improve reliability. A prostate gland biopsy usually confirms a prostate cancer diagnosis. And when a digital rectal exam is performed it often reveals an enlarged prostate with a hard, irregular surface.
It is advisable that you discuss all your options before opting for any treatment. Seek second or third opinion if you feel the need to. Never go for any treatment if you are not hundred percent sure. Consult health professional if you so feel that it might help. There are various options that are available to you. These include surgery, medication etc. Surgery, called a radical prostatectomy, usually removes the entire prostate gland and some of the surrounding tissues. Medications used for hormonal therapy, with side effects, include androgen-blocking agents, which prevent testosterone from attaching to the prostate cells.
The treatment depends on the stage of tumour. Prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized) may be treated conventionally: with drugs to reduce testosterone levels, surgery to remove the testes and/or chemotherapy or nothing at all.
If there is a need for more chemotherapy after the first round of chemotherapy, most men receive further doses on an outpatient basis at a clinic or physician's office. Impotence can be a potential complication after a prostatectomy or after radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is used primarily to treat prostate cancers classified as stage A, stage B or stage C.
If cancer has metastasized then hormone manipulation is mainly used as a treatment to relieve symptoms in these cases. Surgery, radiation therapy and hormonal therapy all can lead to decreased libido activity on a temporary basis or in some cases permanent basis. The way to treat is to see if the cancer is growing slowly and not causing any symptoms or if it has metastasised.
Fruits are the most potent weapon to fight cancer. Nutrient present in them either help in fighting cancerous cells or develop the immunity. Switching to more fruits is also recommended. Make smoothies with fruit only, using a base of two bananas, adding a cup of frozen or fresh blueberries and mango chunks or substitute any other fruit and add an energy boost of two tablespoons of coconut oil; add one or two leaves of kale or handful of spinach leaves for an additional highly nutritional boost. Use a little flaxseed oil or walnut oil along with your extra-virgin olive oil in a huge daily dark green salad. Make sure that you are including lots of fruits in your diet and start monitoring your diet closely.
Put two tablespoons of unbleached, unrefined and undeodorized virgin coconut oil in your smoothies; coconut oil is plant-based, not animal-based and is actually good for us. A good dietary, natural treatment approach is to avoid all acidic inflammatory foods; foods that are not alive. Consider taking cod liver oil or fish oil supplements every day and or sun for vitamin D generation.
In most cases it has been found that men have actually decreased their PSA levels by taking in more fruits and taking vegetarian diet. Make highly nutritious raw applesauce using a food processor and put in three or four cored pesticide-free apples with the skin on, and mix for a minute or so; much better for you than canned highly processed applesauce and add 1/4 tsp. cinnamon or two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseed for another big boost. Drink plenty of pure filtered water too, a minimum of a quart a day.
Make sure that you read lots of stuff and get yourself checked regularly to nip the cancerous cells in the bud.
