What are the dietary strategies to lower prostate cancer risk?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I want to do everything I can to reduce my risk of prostate cancer. My father has prostate cancer, and my uncle too. Are there specific foods, supplements, or lifestyle changes you recommend for prevention? Please let me know everything that will help reduce my risk.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
You are asking if there are any lifestyle changes that would prevent cancer risk in your case, right?
There is no such food-changing habit or factor that would prevent it.
Risk factors of prostate cancer include:
-
Increasing age.
-
Increase in testosterone.
-
Genetics (BRCA2>BRCA1).
-
Obesity.
You should control obesity, as it will help to prevent many other chronic health conditions as well.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
