Do all men get prostate cancer?
My uncle recently had surgery for prostate cancer, and it's made me think about my own risks. I'm approaching an age where it becomes more common. Do all men eventually get prostate cancer if they live long enough?

No, that is a complete misconception. While prostate enlargement is very common in older men, only a small fraction actually develop cancer.

At my age, many of us have minor urine flow issues, but it is rarely cancer. Drinking pumpkin seed oil and eating cooked tomatoes keeps the prostate healthy, but do consult a doctor if you feel pain.

Definitely not all men. Just like keeping an eye on BP, you should just get a simple PSA blood test during your yearly health checkup once you cross 50.

True, it is not common at all. Most elderly men only have benign prostate swelling which is easily treatable.

Haan, tension mat lo, sabko nahi hota na. It is a very slow-growing issue and most senior citizens live a completely normal life without ever needing major treatments.

If every man got it, doctors would be richer than tech billionaires! Don't stress, it is actually quite rare, and most prostate issues are just harmless age-related swelling.
