What cancer are men prone to? Men's health experts found that men may get one kind of cancer or another if they don't pay attention to their health, but three kinds of cancer are most likely to occur among all cancers. Today, the chief editor comes to count these three kinds of cancer. We should pay attention to prevention
1. Prostate cancer
Initial symptoms: usually no symptoms. If the prostate is stiff or abnormal, digital rectal examination can tell you. PSA (prostate specific antigen) level is high, and may suffer from prostate cancer.
Physical error alarm: urination problems - frequent urination, urgent urination, slow urination, endless urination - enlarged prostate or narrowed urethra.
2. Lung cancer
Initial symptoms: usually asymptomatic. However, lingering cough and hemoptysis cough indicate lung tumor. If you don't feel chest pain all the time because of exercise, it can also indicate that you have lung tumors, said Isalac Cohen, MD, a pharmaceutical oncologist at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Physical error alarm: pneumonia. When chest X-ray is taken, pneumonia and tumor turn white on the negative film. Pneumonia will be relieved, but it needs to wait another 4~6 months for X-ray to verify.
3. Colorectal cancer
Early symptoms: blood in stool. Don't ignore it. Even if there is only one bloody stool. Blood in stool may be the early stage of colorectal cancer, and polyp bleeding is the only warning signal for early detection of colorectal cancer. More than half of colorectal cancer have no early symptoms, said Greg Enders, MD, PhD, a gastroenterologist at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
False alarm of the body: blood in the stool of men under the age of 50 may be hemorrhoids, diverticulum, colitis or vascular abnormalities. Although it is not colorectal cancer, you still need to see a doctor.
How to avoid cancer in daily life
Can cancer really be prevented? The occurrence of many cancers is closely related to external environmental factors. The external environment may change, which provides the possibility for cancer prevention and is also the most basic prerequisite for cancer prevention.
Of course, cancer can be prevented. It is not to take some measures to prevent cancer, but to prevent someone from getting involved. More correctly, many cancers can be prevented. In addition, more importantly, you need to put the cancer prevention measures into practice, rather than just stay in words.
