    The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system that produces fluid for semen. Prostate cancer develops slowly but can spread to other organs, becoming dangerous. About 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, though the 5-year survival rate is over 98%. Symptoms may include issues with urination or ejaculation. Diagnosis involves a digital rectal exam and a PSA blood test. Treatment options are surgery to remove the prostate, radiation therapy, and cryosurgery. While prostate cancer can't be prevented directly, maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help reduce risks.

    Prostate Cancer

    Prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. It makes semen which carries
    sperm. Prostate Cancer is very slow growing cancer. However, as it is a metastatic
    cancer, it is dangerous when it starts to spread to other organs. About 1 in 7 men
    will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. However, the number of deaths was 20.1
    per 100,000 men per year which means there is more than 98% of chance of living
    out of Prostate Cancer. Some symptoms of Prostate Cancer includes:

    Pain during urination


    Blood in urine
    Blood in semen
    Loss of bladder control

    For diagnosis of Prostate Cancer, doctors may have to go through a digital rectum
    exam, which is a doctor inserting his hand inside the rectum to feel the prostate if
    there is any abnormalities. Another way is to check your blood sample to check for
    PSA which is produced in the prostate gland, and if there is a lot of it, it could be an
    indication of Prostate Cancer. This method is called the Prostate-specific antigen
    test. Some treatments for Prostate Cancer includes:

    Surgery: Removes the entire prostate gland and some other tissues around
    it
    Radiation Therapy: Uses high energy rays to kill cancer cells
    Cryosurgery: Use of extremely low temperature to freeze and kill cancer
    cell.
    There are no sure ways prevent Prostate Cancer, but some ways that you could
    prevent it is by eating healthy, exercising regularly.
