The effect of prostate cancer on fertility Kausar Mashhad Specialized Laboratory

The prostate gland plays an important role in male reproduction. Prostate cancer and its treatments can have significant effects on fertility. For example, if a man undergoes surgery to remove his prostate or testicles, his sperm production and fertility will decrease. Radiation therapy can also affect prostate tissue and damage sperms and reduce the amount of semen. Also, hormone therapy has a negative effect on fertility. For men who intend to have children after treatment, methods such as storing sperm in a sperm bank before surgery or extracting sperm directly from the testicles for artificial insemination can help.

The effect of sex and masturbation on the risk of prostate cancer

Research shows that increasing the frequency of ejaculation can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. This risk reduction can be due to the elimination of harmful chemicals in semen through ejaculation.

However, it is still unclear whether ejaculation through intercourse has different effects on prostate cancer risk reduction compared to masturbation.

Some urologists believe that men who ejaculate more often may have a healthier lifestyle, which generally reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

The effect of prostate cancer progression on the patient's life span

The rate of progression of prostate cancer has a direct effect on the life expectancy of patients. Due to the fact that this disease may progress without any specific symptoms, men over 50 years of age should undergo annual comprehensive checkups of the urinary tract, kidney and prostate. The risk of dying from prostate cancer varies between 3 and 18 percent, depending on the grade of the cancer and the health status of the patient. If the patient has other diseases, this risk increases.

However, 99% of men with prostate cancer survive at least 5 years after diagnosis, and many patients are completely cured.

Prostate cancer usually grows slowly, and even if it spreads to other parts of the body, one in three men will still be alive after 5 years.

Exercise and prostate cancer prevention

Exercise can play an important role in the prevention and management of prostate cancer. Studies have shown that moderate to vigorous physical activity can reduce the risk of developing benign prostatic hyperplasia and help manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Also, there is a strong association between metabolic syndrome and abdominal obesity, increased blood sugar, high triglycerides, and decreased HDL cholesterol levels and prostate enlargement.

Resistance sports

Strength training can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by increasing muscle mass and reducing excess body weight. However, some strength exercises such as weight lifting and abdominal crunches may aggravate stress incontinence in affected patients. These exercises can also deal with complications such as osteoporosis caused by hormone therapy.

Aerobic exercises

Aerobic sports such as swimming, cycling and running improve the function of the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system. These exercises can help improve the symptoms of prostate cancer. In general, adults should get at least two hours of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week. The combination of these two types of physical activity can be ideal.

Effect of nutrition on prostate cancer

Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and management of prostate cancer. Research has shown that high consumption of saturated fat and high-fat dairy products can increase the risk of prostate cancer. In contrast, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish can reduce the risk of developing this disease.

In particular, foods such as tomatoes that contain lycopene, cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli and cabbage), and green tea may have protective effects.

Summary

Prostate cancer is one of the most common and important cancers in men, which is related to aging and various factors such as genetics and lifestyle. Early diagnosis of this disease through regular screening can play a vital role in reducing its mortality.

The existence of multiple treatment methods, knowledge of the causes, symptoms and ways of prevention can help to improve the quality of life and reduce the risks associated with prostate cancer.
