What causes prostate cancer in men?

My uncle passed away from prostate cancer, and now my father is getting regular check-ups. I'm wondering what really causes prostate cancer in men, so I can be more aware.

Prostate cancer is primarily caused by genetic mutations in prostate cells, and the risk increases significantly after the age of 50. If you have a family history, you need to be proactive. Stop ignoring urine issues and get a PSA blood test done annually.

Our urologist explained that while the exact trigger is unknown, age, genetics, and ethnic background are the main drivers of prostate cancer. He emphasized that diet and lifestyle play a minor role compared to aging and hereditary factors, making regular screening crucial.

Eating a diet rich in tomatoes, green tea, and healthy fats can support overall prostate health naturally. However, prostate cancer is a serious medical condition caused by cellular changes as men age. If there is any difficulty in passing urine, please see a doctor immediately.

As a mother, I always tell my family that health is our greatest wealth. Prostate cancer is caused by cell mutations that happen with age and genetics, so we must encourage the men in our families to get tested. Please don't let them ignore any warning signs out of shyness.

Beta, prostate cancer is basically caused by changes in the prostate gland cells as men grow older. It is very common in elders, so we must make sure our fathers and grandfathers get a routine checkup done if they complain of any bladder issues. Early detection is a blessing.
