Prostate cancer has become a common malignancy in China, with an incidence rate of 4 to 5 out of 100,000 people, and is increasing at a rate of 10% per year. The causes of prostate cancer are not well understood, but the main factors are as follows. 1. Age: The older you are, the higher the chance of prostate cancer. In other words, about 9% of prostate cancer patients have a family history of the disease. 3. Hormones: The more testosterone a person produces, the more chance he has of developing prostate cancer. For this reason, too, people who were castrated as children or have testicular dysplasia do not get prostate cancer. Excessive visual and psychological sexual stimulation, which makes androgen production high, is also a trigger for prostate cancer. 4. Diet: If you consume a lot of things that contain satiated fatty acids in your daily diet, you should be careful. Satiated fatty acids can be a trigger for prostate cancer. 5.

HPV has been shown to be closely related to cervical cancer in women, and may also lead to prostate cancer in men. 6.

From the above it is clear that eating less animal fat, keeping clean and being mentally healthy are important factors in preventing prostate cancer.
