Prostate cancer

Monday, November 8, 2010

Apologies in advance as I join many in growing a moustache to raise awareness of Prostate Cancer.

The best advice to anyone concerned about the prospect of prostate cancer is to talk with your GP.

Essentially if you notice a change in your pattern of emptying your bladder, get it checked out. If you are 50 or over and have not had a PSA test ask your GP for one.

Eat plenty of cooked tomatoes, they have masses of lycopene a powerful antioxidant in them, also Saw Palmento can have some beneficial effects. Watch the medical press for advances in the genetic mapping of prostate cancer tumours this is where the real advances in treatment will occur, but we could be decades away form that . Always the key is early detection and diagnosis and treatment has the best chance of success. Lastly make sure you hydrate yourself well. This will ensure the urinary system stays healthy.
