The Causes of Prostate Cancer Leads to Healing - Prostate Problems

By Veronica Carrillo

In its ideal, healthy state the prostrate gland is about the size of a walnut. Its function is to store and secrete an alkaline fluid to mix with the male sperm. The vaginal tract of a female is very acidic.

You see, prostate cancer is not the end of the world, no matter what anyone else tells you. There are tons of people around the world who have survived the condition and more people continue to survive it each and every day. There are even those people that had advanced prostate cancer that everyone thought they couldn't survive the condition. They ended up surviving it without it killing them. If these people have successfully survived this horrible cancer, it goes to prove that you can as well, no matter what anyone else might try to convince you.

Now, when one is looking for symptoms of Prostate cancer if he is a health-conscious person, he is definitely going to know more about TSE. This is known as the testicle self-examination, and you can either do it at home or your doctor is going to do it for you, once you go in for a physical checkup. The testicles are palpated gently to see if there are any tissue swellings, and lumps, which are unaccounted for.

Prostate Specific Antigen is a protein produced in small quantities by the cells of the prostrate gland. These quantities become elevated in the presence of prostrate cancer. A blood test is administered to determine the PSA level. No one can say with certainty what causes prostrate cancer. Their appears to be disparities based on race, nationality and culture.

The rate of prostrate cancer among Japanese men, for example, is decidedly less than that of men in the United States. Within the U.S., the rate is higher among African American men as compared to Caucasian men. Men in some underdeveloped countries have a lesser rate than men in the United States.

One thing is certain. In order to TAKE CHARGE of one's health to prevent prostrate cancer, regular examinations of the kind mentioned above are imperative for all men. If a diagnosis of prostrate cancer is made, get information on the cancer regarding symptoms, risk factors, treatments and other options, because "knowledge is power", and "power" will lessen "fear" and enable you to TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR PROSTRATE CANCER!
