Understanding the Gleason Score
Let's delve into a crucial tool in the battle against prostate cancer: the Gleason score. Developed in 1966 by Dr. Donald Gleason, this system is nothing short of a compass for navigating the aggressiveness of prostate cancer. By observing how closely cancer cells resemble normal prostate tissue under the microscope, doctors can predict the ferocity of the cancer. Here's the breakdown: A grade 1 means the cancer appears almost normal and is less aggressive. A grade 5 indicates a high level of abnormality and aggressiveness. Grades 2 to 4 reflect intermediate aggressiveness. With the Gleason score, composed of a primary and a secondary grade (both between 1 and 5), specialists have a clearer picture of what to expect and how to combat it. It's important to know that cancer with higher grades is more likely to metastasize, especially in grades 4 and 5. This knowledge is power. With it, we can confront prostate cancer with an informed and precise strategy.Take care of your health , get your annual checkup. Don't miss out! Ask your doctor about Focalyx®.

Chronic stress and prostate cancer
Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires studied the variations of a hormone produced by the body in situations of stress and discovered that these events interact with a prostate cancer marker. “Until now, scientists knew that cortisol, a hormone that arises in response to chronic stress, was involved in the development of certain diseases.
What this team of scientists from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) has identified is that cases of stress lead to an increase in cortisol levels, which impacts the prostate cancer tumor marker, known as PSA (PSA). specific prostate). And according to estimates by psychologists who are experts in stress, around 42% of people suffer from stress frequently.
“We observed that cortisol would interact with life events, increasing the levels of prostate-specific antigen,” adds Fabre. Although these studies are not definitive, it is important to note that chronic stress can affect your health”

Avoid these foods and take care of your prostate
A healthy diet for an enlarged prostate involves not only consuming beneficial foods but also avoiding those that are not prostate-friendly. Among the foods to avoid are:
Red meat, due to its high content of saturated fats that can increase inflammation.
Caffeine, which can act as a diuretic, increasing the amount, frequency, and urgency of urination.
Alcohol, excessive consumption of which can negatively impact various body systems, including the prostate, and increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.
Sodium, as high intake can exacerbate urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH.
Reducing the consumption of these foods as part of a balanced diet can have a beneficial effect on prostate growth and muscle tone.

What is bladder cancer?
Bladder cancer, also known as carcinoma of the bladder, occurs when the cells of this organ start to multiply uncontrollably. The bladder is a hollow, balloon-shaped organ where urine is stored, located in the lower abdomen.
Symptoms of bladder cancer can vary from person to person. The most common symptom is hematuria (blood in the urine), often with the urine color ranging from light brown to bright red.
Other common symptoms of bladder cancer include:
Frequent need to urinate.
Pain or burning sensation during urination.
Feeling the need to urinate even when the bladder is not full.
Waking up multiple times during the night to urinate.
It's important to consult with the medical team if you experience any of these symptoms. Keep in mind that these symptoms can be attributed to urinary infections, kidney or bladder stones, or other kidney-related issues, and not necessarily to cancer.

Cold and rainy weather vs. Prostate Cancer
Researchers from the University of Idaho in the United States claim that cold and rainy climates may be linked to a higher incidence of prostate cancer. They argue that low temperatures delay the degradation of certain organic pollutants, such as pesticides or industrial byproducts, which are related to the development of these tumors. Furthermore, according to the findings of these experts published in the International Journal of Health Geographics, low exposure to ultraviolet rays leads to vitamin D deficiencies and an increased risk of cancer.

Symptoms that could indicate that the prostate is not working properly
At 50 years of age, very few men have symptoms of prostate cancer, but there may be some pre-cancerous or cancerous cells present. More than half of all American men have some form of cancer in their prostate glands by the age of 80. Many of these cancers never cause problems and may never produce symptoms or become serious health threats. These are the main symptoms that may appear if you have any prostate disease, such as the most serious one: prostate cancer.Frequent urination urges
Pain or burning during urination
Weak or interrupted urine flow
Blood in the urine or semen
Discomfort when sitting for long periods due to an enlarged prostate
Erectile dysfunction
