PROSTATE CANCER GROWING SLOWLY AFFECTS (MILLIONS) OF MEN!!

Prostate Cancer Explained: Signs, Risks & Treatments You Need to Know in men often grows so slowly that it may not cause problems for years?

Did you know that one of the most common cancers in men often grows so slowly that it may not cause problems for years? In this video, we're diving deep into prostate cancer, a disease that starts in the prostate gland—a small, walnut-shaped gland found only in males.

Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate start to grow out of control. While many prostate cancers are slow-growing and may need minimal or even no treatment, others can be aggressive and spread quickly. Understanding the risks, recognizing the early signs, and knowing your options is crucial for early detection and effective management.

Join us as we break down everything you need to know about this common yet complex disease.

WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO:

What is Prostate Cancer?

We explain how cancer develops in the prostate gland, which is part of the male reproductive system and helps make semen. The vast majority of prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, which develop from the gland cells.

Key Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore:

Early-stage prostate cancer often causes no symptoms. When they do appear, signs can include:

Frequent or urgent need to urinate, especially at night.

Difficulty starting or a weak urine stream.

Blood in the urine or semen.

If the cancer spreads (metastasizes), symptoms can include bone pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.

Understanding the Major Risk Factors:

Several factors can increase your risk of developing prostate cancer:

Age: The risk increases significantly after age 50.

Family History & Genetics: Having a close relative with prostate cancer increases your risk.

Race: It is more common in Black men.

Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and a diet high in dairy products and low in fruits and vegetables may also increase the risk.

How It's Diagnosed & Treated:

Diagnosis: Doctors often use a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a physical exam to screen for the disease. A biopsy is required to confirm a diagnosis.

Treatment: The best approach depends on the cancer's stage and how aggressive it is. Options include:

Active Surveillance: For slow-growing, low-risk cancers, doctors may monitor the cancer with regular tests instead of immediate treatment.

Surgery: A radical prostatectomy to remove the entire prostate gland.

Radiation Therapy: Using high-energy beams to kill cancer cells.

Hormone Therapy: To reduce levels of male hormones (androgens) that fuel cancer growth, often used for advanced cancer.

Chemotherapy: Used when the cancer has spread and is no longer responding to hormone therapy.
