5 signs of prostate cancer! One herbal extract can prevent it

1. Urgent and frequent urination

2. Difficulty urinating

3. Intermittent urine flow

4. Feeling that your bladder cannot empty

5. Hematuria

However, Dr. Chen Bosheng said that these symptoms do not necessarily mean prostate cancer. He said that after the age of 40, the prostate gland is prone to enlargement due to degeneration. It is also possible that holding urine, riding a bicycle, etc. may cause prostate enlargement, which will also cause similar symptoms.

Some symptoms can be detected by the patient himself, but some need to be tested, such as hematuria. So how to distinguish whether it is a sign of prostate cancer? Dr. Chen recommends paying attention to observe and evaluate the severity of symptoms. If the symptoms are getting worse, you should pay attention to the risk of prostate cancer in addition to prostate inflammation.

Blood test for PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen Level) is a method of screening for prostate cancer. However, Dr. Chen pointed out that the PSA index is only a reference. It is a standard test for prostate inflammation. If you have prostatitis, your PSA index will be high. Some people have a very high PSA index, but no cancer cells are found after the test. On the contrary, there are also prostate cancer patients whose cancer cells have metastasized to the ureter or kidney, but their PSA index is not high.

How to prevent prostate cancer

Chen Bosheng first suggested that everyone pay attention to whether the body has sufficient energy and mental health. He said that if a person sleeps well and eats normally, but finds that his physical strength is not as good as before, he should pay attention to whether there is something wrong with his body. Traditional Chinese medicine calls the state of mental and physical strength “positive energy”, which has a lot to do with immunity. For example, clinically found that people who are long-term fatigued may find insufficient white blood cell activity and quantity after blood tests.

Sleep is related to body repair and immunity. If you are under a lot of stress, don’t sleep well, or sleep for a short time, your immunity will be weakened. Chen Bosheng emphasized that as we age, cancer cells are more likely to appear in our bodies, but as long as our immunity is strong and the level of lymphocytes in our white blood cells is normal, we can fight and eliminate cancer cells.
