∙ 9y agoChronic prostatitis is 'the' cause of prostate cancer. Now or then, the young man tries to delay the process of ejaculation. This is done in an attempt to prolong the duration of the sexual intercourse. The sphincter of the urethra is voluntarily closed in such attempt. When such an attempt is done during ejaculation, it generates the tremendously high back pressure in the prostate gland. The gland tissue gets damaged and get inflamed in this process. This damaged gland is very good ground for bacteria to flourish. This leads to acute prostatitis, at times. When proper treatment is not received by the patient, the condition becomes chronic. It is very difficult to diagnose the chronic prostatitis, most of the time. In the long term, this chronic prostatitis turn probably into enlarged prostate gland. Chronic prostatitis is a grossly underdiagnosed condition, probably. Patient is asymptomatic, as he has learned to tolerate that slight pain in the prostate gland. Proportionate number of patients get prostate cancer.

∙ 14y agoAccording to the American Cancer Society they don't know exactly what causes prostate cancer. So far they have found links in dna changes of the prostate cancer cell. About 5 to 10% of the cancers are inherited from familial dna. They also think that some of the prostate cancers are linked to a higher male hormone called IGF-1. Some factors that may cause the cancer: diet high in red meat and/or high fat dairy; obesity, family history (you are more likely to get it if someone in family has), african-americans get it more than any other race. What it boils down to is that a lot more research needs to be done to pinpoint causes.
