Prostate Cancer and Enlarged Prostate ? Causes, Symptoms, Prevention and Treatment
We know that from the age of 40, levels of by-product prolactin, testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone into DHT, testosterone gihydro triggering hypertrophy prostate and prostate cancer. Therefore in order to avoid the symptoms of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer are naturally Impend the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Unfortunately, aging is not the only causes of prostate and prostate cancer. In this article we will discuss other causes of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer.
I. The causes of prostate cancer and prostate
1. Genetics Genetics may also play a role in the enlarged prostate since study shows that prostate cancer and prostate enlargement can be inherited from generation to generation.
2. Hormonal imbalance of the external appearance of a typical middle-aged person shows increased abdominal fat and shrinkage of muscle mass, which is the main factor causing a hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance is also caused by depression, stress and anxiety that are the most common complications of psychological hormonal imbalance.
3. Cell-growth factor for any reason, some people are involved in the prostate is a growth factor.
4. Mineral deficiency Our prostate contains high amounts of zinc to function normally. Zinc deficiency causes the prostate to enlarge. This may be due to aging or uncontrolled diet with excessive alcohol consumption.
5. Obesity A study shows that the unbalanced diet that is rich in saturated and trans fats are the main cause of hormonal imbalance which causes an enlarged prostate. Researchers suggest that excess calorie consumption could somehow directly stimulate prostate enlargement because the excess body fat that accumulates causes an imbalance in hormone levels.
6. Testosterone deficiency Testosterone may be caused by large quantities of by-product prolactin of testosterone in the male body that stimulates even higher production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase resulted in a large amount of conversion testosterone into DHT, testosterone gihydro thus triggering prostate enlargement. Excess estrogen seems to be the culprit in prostate enlargement that leads to pathology and fosters the development of prostate cancer.
III. Symptoms
1. Nocturia. Nocturia is defined as being awakened at night one or more times to urinate. It becomes more common as the person becomes older. This pattern often seen in people with this condition is an increase in the number of times to wake up each night to urinate during the rest of their lives.

It is defined as having nocturnal urine volume exceeds 20-30% of the total of 24 liters of urine per hour. Nocturia occurs more commonly in the elderly. It also occurs in women and men differently. Women generally experience nocturia as a result of childbirth, menopause, and pelvic organ prolapse. Nocturia in men can be directly attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as the prostate.
2. Dysuria. Dysuria is a complication associated with genitourinary infections will usually result in painful urination because the infection has made its way into the urinary tract, causing a urinary tract infection. Dysuria in men is usually indicative of a complication of the prostate, commonly called prostate hyperplasia caused by hormonal imbalances associated with estrogen production.
3. Asymptomatic As we know the prostate enlarges with age man. Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis may be diagnosed when infection fighting cells are the source of this common symptoms of prostatitis such as difficulty urinating, fever, and lower back and pelvic pain.
4. Epididymitis Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis, which connects the testicle with the vas deferens. Epididymitis is usually caused by infection of the urethra or bladder. Epididymitis may begin with mild fever and chills with a feeling of heaviness in the testicle becomes increasingly sensitive to pressure or traction.

E. vitamins and minerals
As mentioned in previous articles, we know that starting at age 40, levels of by-product of prolactin, testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion gihydro testosterone into DHT, testosterone trigger the enlargement of the prostate and other problems. Besides aging there are many other causes of enlarged prostate and some of them may cause prostate cancer. Beside foods nutrition and herbs, vitamins and minerals also play an important role in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer and prostate cancer.
1. Zinc Zinc is required for male sexual health and prostate. Zinc inhibits the absorption of testosterone into prolactin. The prostate contains a higher concentration of zinc than any other organ in the body, so zinc deficiency is the major cause of prostate cancer and an early indication of prostate cancer.
2. Selenium Selenium contains an antioxidant enzyme that helps to improve immune function, prevent cancer cells in early development and cell damage in May of control that lead to cancer. Foods that contain high levels of selenium are bran, broccoli, eggs, mushrooms, walnuts and basil.
