Why is tomato effective for prostate gland? Can tomatoes reduce the incidence of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a common male disease. For female friends, what is the diagnosis method of prostate cancer?

Many diseases will have similar symptoms, leading to minor treatment and minor cure. Prostate cancer is a kind of disease that is easily ignored. People often think of it as a "patent" of European and American countries, because among European and American people, the incidence rate of this disease is as high as 100/100000, ranking second in cancer deaths. In China, its incidence rate is very low, from 2 to 3/100000 ten years ago, but its incidence rate has gradually increased in recent years, which has increased by about four times compared with 10 years ago.

The prostate is a gland located under the bladder and surrounding the urethra, which is normally as big as a chestnut and is unique to men. According to statistics, there are about 80000 new cases of prostate cancer in China every year, mainly in the elderly over 60 years old. Because of the concealed location of the prostate, the cancerous sites often occur around the posterior lobe, and the early stage does not compress the urethra, causing dysuria and other symptoms. The early and middle stage of the disease is asymptomatic, and it is difficult to alert the patient. Even if there is discomfort such as dysuria, it is often mistaken for age, or the prostate hypertrophy tumor increases to a certain extent, when the urethra is compressed, it is often not early. In our hospital, many patients first developed bone pain and found distant bone metastases. After examination, it was found that the primary focus was from prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is not terrible. Early detection and timely treatment can cure it without affecting its service life. Thus, the early diagnosis of prostate cancer is very important. For men over 50 years old, digital rectal examination, prostate specific antigen (PSA) and rectal ultrasound examination are carried out every year, and prostate puncture biopsy is carried out for suspicious persons.

Eat more fish and tomatoes

The etiology of prostate cancer is unclear, and there are no effective preventive measures at present. According to the latest research results, the risk of prostate cancer of people who never eat fish is 2-3 times higher than those who often eat fish, and the probability of prostate cancer of men with the highest level of serum lycopene is 35% lower than that of men with the lowest level. These research results show that eating more fish and tomatoes has a certain role in preventing and reducing the incidence of prostate cancer.
