 We had written a post on now that I'm fifty and many of the men where happy we never talked about
them having serious issues at that prime age. It is with a sad heart that I like to inform you that men especial African American men are very susceptible to prostate cancer at this age. Today's write up is centered on men this time.

The prostate is a part of the male reproductive organ found at the exist of the bladder. Prostate cancer could be trace down to family genes. If ones father or brother had prostate cancer, there's a likelihood one could be susceptible. It is common among among elderly men and common among men who like fatty food.

Possible symptoms are urinary problem (having little urine, finding it difficult to start or stop urine, frequently urinating etc), erectile dysfunction, blood in urine or semens, pain in the back, pelvic or lower abdomen etc.

The possible treatment could take surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and vaccine that hinders cancerous growth
It is diagnosed by tissue biopsy. Initial examination may include rectal examination, ultrasonic scan and PSA (Prostate specific antigen) level.

It is good practice for one to always examine him/herself. PSA is done yearly and rectal examination is highly recommend to patient with high PSA level.

When one is 50 years, medical check up should be an habit. One TCM contribution to cancer is found in Ginseng and Ganoderma Lucidium. Some TCM company made theirs in form of tea. They are food supplement that helps in curbing cancer. Organo-Gold coffee uses them in their coffee and it's de-caffeinated. They call it healthy coffee. If you have the TCM mobile app, you could choose from a variety of healthy coffee and ginseng tea. They are mushroom with good health benefit. If  you push the buy button on the TCM mobile app, it takes you to an online stores that offers payment on delivery. You could read about the product you order on the store and the disclaimers. One of which is TCM doesn't encourage patients to miss their doctors appointment. We could be viewed as dietician. For more about TCM and orthodox practices read our post on it.

The tragic passing of popular Nigerian actor John Paul Odonwodo, known as Junior Pope, in April 2024, serves as a stark reminder of the importance of emergency preparedness and the life-saving skill of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). Junior Pope's untimely death, reportedly due to drowning while returning from a movie shoot, highlights a critical need for greater awareness and training in CPR across Nigeria.
