Young Men are also at Risk of Prostate Cancer, Here are the Triggers

Dream - Prostate cancer is a disease that is commonly experienced by elderly men. However, young men can also be affected by this prostate cancer. The occurrence may be small, but the cases still exist.

"The likelihood of young men getting prostate cancer is very small, although there are still young men who are affected by this disease. So far, I have handled 3-4 cases of prostate cancer in young children," said Prof. Dr. Agus Rizal, Chairman of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 2023, at the Press Conference for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 2023, on Friday, September 22, 2023 in Jakarta."

Therefore, it is important to detect this disease early. When prostate cancer is detected earlier, the success rate of treatment will be higher and the potential for recovery from this disease is also greater.

"If directly treated, the chance of recovery from early-stage prostate cancer is 99%. However, if it has already reached an advanced stage, it can only survive around 50% within 5 years."
said Prof. Dr. Rizal.

What is Prostate Cancer?

he translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving the HTML tags is as follows:

Prostate is only found in males and functions to produce semen. Meanwhile, prostate cancer is a type of cancer that grows in the prostate gland in men. The prostate gland plays a role in the formation of ejaculatory fluid, and this disease usually shows symptoms such as difficulty in urinating.

"What Triggers Prostate Cancer"
1. Stress

Poor mental health can have negative impacts on physical health. Stress and depression can affect the immune system, ultimately increasing the risk of diseases, including prostate cancer.

"When someone is under pressure, the stress circuit will be activated, stimulating the release of cortisol hormone or stress hormone. When this hormone is active, blood vessels will narrow and close, inhibiting blood flow to all organs, including difficulties in reaching the penis."

clear from Dr. Gina Anindyajati, psychiatrist at RSCM FKUI at the Press Conference Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 2023, Friday 22 September 2023 in Jakarta.

2. Genetics

"If there is a family history of prostate cancer in parents or siblings, then the chances of someone getting prostate cancer also become greater. In addition, if there are certain genetic factors in the family that significantly increase the risk of breast cancer, then the risk of getting prostate cancer can also be higher."

"If there is a blood relative who has prostate cancer, then the likelihood of the risk of developing prostate cancer can increase twofold."
said Prof. Dr. Rizal.
