A Natural Approach To Health
Living With Prostate Cancer
I had a question the other day about prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in a man’s prostate gland.
The prostate sits just below the bladder.
It makes part of the fluid for semen.
In young men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut.
As men age, the prostate usually grows larger.
Prostate cancer is common in men older than 65.
It usually grows slowly and can take years to grow large enough to cause any problems.
As with other cancers, treatment for prostate cancer works best when the cancer is found early.
Often, prostate cancer that has spread responds to treatment.
Older men who have prostate cancer usually die from other causes.
Experts don’t know what causes prostate cancer, but they believe your age, family history, and race affect your chances of getting it.
What you eat, such as foods high in fats, may also play a part.
Prostate cancer usually doesn’t cause symptoms in its early stages.
Most men don’t know they have it until it’s found during a regular medical exam.
When problems are noticed, they’re most often problems with urinating.
But these same symptoms can also be caused by an enlarged prostate, which is very common in older men.
See your doctor if:
>You have urinary problems, like:
>>Not being able to urinate at all.
>>Having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine.
>>Having to urinate often, especially at night.
>>Having pain or burning during urination.
>You have difficulty having an erection.
>You have blood in your urine or semen.
>You have deep and frequent pain in your lower back, belly, hip, or pelvis.
The most common way to check for prostate cancer is to have a digital rectal exam, where the doctor puts a gloved, lubricated finger in your rectum to feel your prostate, and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
If your PSA is high, or if your doctor finds anything during the rectal exam, he or she may do a prostate biopsy to find the cause.
To deal with prostate cancer, it’s beneficial to:
*Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily to keep hydrated and flush toxins, whether thirsty or not. Add Performance for electrolytes.
*Increase life-giving, enzyme and nutrient rich fresh, raw fruits and veggies; organic whenever possible; consider juicing.
