Can kicking a man in the testicles cause prostate cancer?

Answer 1

No.

prostate cancer is caused by changes in the DNA (at the genetic level) of prostate cells. Being kicked in the testicles can cause bruising, hemorrhaging, rupture of the testicle, torsion, swelling, and severe pain, but it is not likely to be the cause of prostate cancer.

When cells in the prostate divide to proliferate, each should form 2 identical cells to the parent cell. Cells also have a control that tells them when and how often to divide. For whatever reason (whatever triggers the change in the DNA), a cell begins to divide erratically and produces cells that are not identical to the parent cell. These mutated cells continue to divide and produce more, further changed cells. Often, cancer cells are very different from the original parent cell, and they multiply more rapidly. Their proliferation is out of control.

Many things can trigger the change in the DNA. Exposure to carcinogens, known and unknown, and familial history of cancer of a similar type can predispose an individual to developing cancer.
