How often does prostate cancer occur in the elderly? Five points should be paid attention to in the prevention of prostate cancer

Zhang Bo, 55 years old, has suffered from poor urination and hematuria for many years. Recently, he went to the municipal hospital of traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosis. After the doctor's detailed inquiry and PSA (prostate specific antigen) examination, Professor Lai Haibiao, who is in charge of the urology department, suspected that Zhang Bo was suffering from prostate cancer, and the relevant examination also showed that it was the early stage of prostate cancer. Lai Haibiao decided to implement laparoscopic radical prostatectomy based on the results of this pathological diagnosis, comprehensive analysis of the patient's health status and disease stage, combined with the nature and size of the disease. The operation time is 5 hours. On the second day after the operation, Zhang Bo can eat and go down to the ground.

Middle-aged and elderly people with multiple prostate cancer

Zhang Bo's operation mainly uses the high-definition laparoscopic system to carry out correct and delicate operation through a channel with a diameter of only 5-10 mm. Separate extraperitoneal fat, open the pelvic muscle membrane, cut off the bladder neck, ligate the vascular complex, and completely remove the prostate, which is in line with the urethra. The whole process is very smooth. The patient recovered quickly after operation.

Prostate cancer is an increasingly serious disease threatening men's health in the world today. The incidence rate increases with age, and more than 95% of prostate cancer patients diagnosed are between 45 and 89 years old. In developed countries in Europe and America, the incidence rate of prostate cancer is the first in male tumors, and the mortality rate is second only to lung cancer. With the continuous improvement of China's economic level and the further obvious aging of the population, the incidence rate of prostate cancer in China is on the rise. It is reported that the incidence rate of prostate cancer in Shanghai has ranked first in the incidence rate of male urinary tumors.

Regular life can reduce the incidence rate of prostate cancer

A new Harvard study found a link between ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer risk. Men who have sex regularly (once a day) are less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Researchers found that men aged 40-49 who ejaculate 21 or more times a month can reduce the risk of cancer by 22%. Researchers at Harvard Medical School said that the reason could not be explained. The study is still under further investigation, but the result is exciting.

The study followed 32000 healthy men for 18 years, of whom 3839 were diagnosed with prostate cancer. Men aged 20-29 and 40-49 who participated in the survey were asked about the average monthly ejaculation times. In 1991, researchers found that the more frequently a man ejaculated throughout his life, the lower the risk of prostate cancer. This conclusion is still valid even when factors such as diet, lifestyle and history of prostate cancer are taken into account.
