It wraps around the male urethra at it exits of the bladder.
Prostate cancer is known as the most common cancer in men after skin cancer.

Prostate cancer is common in men over 50 years of age, with the risk of developing prostate cancer increases with aging.
Below are what you should and shouldn’t eat
Good nutrition may help reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer, slow progression of the disease and prevent aggressive disease.
In this section, I will be discussing guidelines and tips for a healthy diet for good prostate health and guidelines for a healthy diet while in treatment for prostate cancer.
Note: These tips, however, should never be used as a replacement for treatment.
Prostate cancer treatment may affect your appetite, eating habits, and weight, but it is important for you to maintain a healthy weight, get essential nutrients, and remain as physically active as possible.
Your diet should be:
Primarily plant based
Include plenty of fruits and vegetables
High in fiber
Low in fat
Limited in the amount of simple sugars
1. Eat Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of cancer-fighting and inflammation-reducing substances like vitamins, polyphenols, antioxidants, minerals and natural fiber.
2. Limit Consumption of Animal Protein
Diets high in red meat, dairy products and animal fat have frequently been connected with the development of prostate cancer. Red meat (such as beef, pork, and lamb) is particularly tied to aggressive prostate cancer.
3. Green Tea
Green tea contains polyphenols and flavonoids which are strong antioxidants. Tea is the best source of catechins which are being studied for their anti-cancer properties. Green tea has been shown to slow and/or prevent the development of prostate cancer.
4. Limit Sugary Drinks
Cutting down on surgary carbonated beverages and drinking water can speed metabolism and flush the body of cancer-causing substances.
5. Whole Grains
Whole grains include brown rice, oatmeal, corn, whole wheat bread, barley, bulgar, kasha, millet, faro, quinoa, and more. Whole grains are great sources of fiber and magnesium and provide protein. Choose food made with whole grain over processed foods.
6. Seek Plant Protein
Plant-based protein like beans, flax and nuts contain quercetin and lignans that suppress the growth of many kinds of cancer including prostate cancer.
Maintaining a healthy diet can help you prepare for and recover after cancer treatment. It may also help to prevent the prostate cancer from coming back.
