What is the main cause of prostate cancer?

My father's friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer recently, and it's got me thinking about my own health as I'm getting older. What is considered the main cause of prostate cancer?

I keep reading about age and genetics being the main reasons, and honestly, it makes me so nervous. My father had prostate issues too. Did anyone else get super scared before getting their PSA test done?

I totally panicked when my doctor first mentioned checking my prostate, thinking the worst. But actually, changes in DNA as we age are just a natural part of life and most issues aren't even cancerous. Don't worry too much, just keep up with regular checkups.

Arey, as we cross 50, our body parts start behaving like old government offices, slow and unpredictable. It's mostly just age and DNA mutations doing their mischief. Just get the testing done quietly so we can keep enjoying our chai-pakora in peace!

I was just reading up on this because of a family discussion. It seems there isn't one single cause, but age, family history, and some gene changes are the biggest risk factors. It is quite fascinating how common it actually is as men grow older.

Please do not ignore any urinary changes thinking it is just old age. I delayed my checkup and faced major complications later during treatment. It is linked to genetic mutations over time, so please get a proper urologist's opinion immediately.
