Prostate cancer: What every man should know

Former Chairman of the Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria, Akinsola Akinde, made this known saying, “All men are at risk to have prostate cancer. If you get to the age of 50 years, you should do a routine screening. There is a test that can be done that will help to pick up the diseases at an early stage. The thing about cancer is that it is usually in different stages, and if you can pick up cancer at stage one, you can more or less cure it.

Other factors include family background, diet, lifestyle, race, lack of regular physical activity, amongst others.

“Prostate cancer can give rise to various complications that encompass physical, emotional, social, and functional aspects. The nature and severity of these complications can vary depending on several factors, including the patient’s age, the stage of cancer at diagnosis and the type of treatment received. For example, physical complications may involve urinary issues such as urinary incontinence or urinary obstruction .
