Prostate cancer

As per "NATURE’S HEALING POWER THROUGH FOOD"  Prostate is a part of the male reproductive system and is a small chestnut shaped organ made up of small glands and fibrous tissue and is located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It also helps transport sperms.

Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Benign enlargement of the prostate commonly occurs in men over forty. Malignant enlargement (cancer) tends to occur in men over sixty and is rare under fifty years of age.
Both prostate cancer and a benign enlargement may cause obstruction to the flow of urine by compressing and displacing the urethra. Either of these conditions may exist without any symptoms at all.
Enlargement of the prostate caused by cancer or a benign change may put pressure on the urethra which may lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder, bladder infections and pain or burning while urinating. Men may notice trouble at the onset urination such as a weak stream, the need to urinate frequently or dribbling.
Acute retention of urine can occur due to complete obstruction to the flow, and in such a state the patient has a sudden desire to urinate but is unable to do so and the bladder becomes tense and tender. This can occur in a benign enlargement as well as a malignant growth and a medical expert has to be contacted immediately.
Hematuria may occur in cases of cancer of prostate due to bleeding in the urethra.
For men over fifty, a rectal examination by the doctor is most important since they could be developing a growth in the prostate without any symptoms showing.
