6 Prostate Cancer Risk Factors Men Should Know.
According to the American National Cancer Institute, after skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men, and 1-in-7 will be diagnosed with it during their lifetime. This is quite the troubling statistic, especially since many men still don’t even know where in their body the prostate is.
As prostate cancer can be hard to discover from a lack of symptoms, it is important to recognize the risk factors. If you believe you are at risk for prostate cancer, talk to your doctor about being tested.
Here are 10 risk factors of prostate cancer.
1, Age.
Age is a huge factor in your risk for prostate cancer. The statistics are shocking. 30% of men 50 and over already have prostate cancer. 80% of men 70 and over have prostate cancer. On average, the age of diagnosis of prostate cancer is 70 years old. Generally, the older the man, the greater the risk of developing prostate cancer. Agressive forms of prostate cancer can affect men at any age, but this is rare. If you are over 40 years old, it would be a smart idea to be proactive and get checked.
2, Genetics.
Family history can play a big part of your risk of prostate cancer. If your family has a history of prostate cancer, you may have a greater risk of developing it yourself. Having a close relative with prostate cancer can give you a 2-3 times larger chance of getting this disease. As of now, there is no specific gene responsible for the elevated risk of prostate cancer. As far as scientists can tell, the answers lie in multiple genes.
3, Exercise.
A new study has found a relationship between exercise and a lowered risk of prostate cancer in Caucasian men. The researchers found that men who were moderately to highly active had over a 50% reduction in their prostate cancer risk. Men who exercised in any amount had a 13% reduction in the risk of the agressive form of the disease.
4, Weight.
Being overweight increases your risk of developing various forms of cancer, including prostate cancer. Overweight and obese men are also at risk for developing a more aggressive form of prostate cancer, according to a study from the San Diego Naval Medical Center.
5, Masturbation Habit.
The more often a guy masturbates during his 20s, 30s, and 40s, the greater his risk for prostate cancer, concludes a study in the journal BJU International. The study authors say elevated levels of the hormone testosterone have been linked to higher rates of prostate cancer—and also to increased libido.
6, Sexual Activity.
The more sexual intercourse a man has, the lower his risk for prostate cancer—especially if he's over 50. That's according to a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Lab tests have shown the biochemical content of a man's semen is different when he ejaculates during sex versus during masturbation. It's possible that intercourse fires up the prostate and helps clear out potential toxins in ways masturbation can't match, the study authors suggest.
