Rectal exams and PSA level tests can be key in catching prostate cancer before it becomes a killer. But, men sometimes wait to get checked until urinary problems pop up. Now, a world-renowned prostate expert says that's a big mistake... In this morning's Healthy Living, Robyn Haines tells us why guys have to be pro-active to protect their prostates.
Doctor Ian Thompson says confusing symptoms of an enlarged prostate with signs of prostate cancer is a mistake a lot of men make. "Now we know that they're generally unrelated." Doctor Thompson conducted a historic decade long study of almost 19-thousand men…and found no correlation between symptoms of an enlarged prostate and prostate cancer. Thompson tells us the findings go against several national cancer groups who urge men with urination troubles to get checked for prostate cancer.
Thompson urges most men to talk with their doctor about prostate cancer around age 50. If it's in your family or you're African American, that conversation should start ten years earlier.
Thompson says another study on the effects of certain vitamins and minerals on prostate cancer came back with interesting results. Vitamin e slightly increased a man's risk for prostate cancer… and selenium increased the risk for diabetes. Both can be found in men's supplements.
