Too much sex, alcohol can cause prostate cancer in men----Medical Expert warns Men

Aurologist, Chidiebere Ogo, has advised men above 40 years against excessive consumption of alcohol and sexual activities to reduce the growing cases of prostate cancer in the country.

Ms Ogo, a chief consultant at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta in Ogun, gave the advice in an interview on Wednesday.

Ms Ogo identified excessive consumption of alcohol, unhealthy lifestyle, and excessive sex activities as major factors contributing to increasing cases of prostate cancer.

The urologist noted that prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death, particularly in men above 40 years old.

“There is a need for men above 40 years old to go for early cancer screening because early detection and appropriate treatments are the key to the survival of the patient,” he said.

The urologist advised the public to live a healthy life, imbibe regular exercise, and take vegetables to build strong immunity against cancer.

He also appealed to the federal and state governments to make concerted efforts to build a research centre further to unravel the causes of cancer in the country.
