What is prostate cancer?
Cancer is a type of disease caused by abnormal growth of cells in our body. Almost every part of the body with cells can develop cancer cells, and it can spread to other parts of the body. Prostate cancer occurs whenever cells in the prostate glands grow abnormally. The prostate is only seen in men. It can be found on the surface of the bladder and on the surface of the rectum. It produces some fluids in semen. Prostate size changes as the man gets older. In males, the prostate is about the size of a walnut, and it is larger for older men.
Different types of prostate cancer
According to studies, almost all prostate cancer is adenocarcinoma. These cancers form from gland cells; the cells that make prostate fluid that is added to semen or semen). The following are rare types of cancer.
Sarcomas
Small cell carcinomas
Neuroendocrine tumors
Transitional cell carcinomas
Symptoms of prostate cancer
Some prostate cancers can grow and spread quickly, but their progression is often slow. In fact, according to autopsy studies, many older men (and some boys) who die of other causes have prostate cancer but are not affected by it. Because of this, it is important to know its possible symptoms.

Foods to avoid
Dairy foods
According to some studies, eating dairy foods can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. This may be due to the calcium that a person gets from these foods, but there are still no studies that confirm its direct link to prostate cancer. However, man still needs calcium. You can drink 200ml of milk, 20g of cheese and a small serving of yogurt to meet your daily nutritional needs.
Processed meat at red meat
According to studies, eating red meat and processed meat may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, but like dairy foods, its direct link to prostate cancer has not been proven.
