Patient's question:
A friend's father recently experienced significant discomfort while urinating, showing symptoms such as small urine volume, thin urine flow, and frequent and urgent urination. After a thorough examination, it was confirmed that he has prostate cancer. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Prostate cancer is a highly lethal malignant tumor that frequently affects men. The recurrence of prostate cancer is associated with intergenerational genetic factors. Additionally, the onset of prostate cancer is linked to sexual activity and dietary habits. Men with higher levels of sexual activity have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. A high-fat diet is also associated with an increased risk of developing the disease. The onset of prostate cancer may be related to race, region, and religious beliefs. Prostate cancer can be treated, but the treatment duration is generally long, and there is a high likelihood of recurrence after treatment. During treatment, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for the specific symptoms. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a balanced diet during the treatment period.
