The Expert's Voice

From a certain age, the prostate requires more attention. Although it often causes no symptoms in the early stages, prostate problems can be detected early through simple medical check-ups. Doing so on time significantly increases treatment and cure options.

At CreuBlanca, we want to share some tips to help care for your prostate and prevent future complications.

Prostate size changes with age

As men age, the prostate tends to increase in size. This growth can cause various discomforts, including:

  • Difficulty starting urination.
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow.
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
  • Need to urinate more frequently, especially at night.
  • Sudden urgency to urinate.
  • Dribbling at the end of urination.

Although this is part of a natural process, medical follow-up is important to rule out complications and maintain a good quality of life.

Prostate cancer detected early has a high cure rate

Prostate cancer is one of the most common tumors in men, but it is also one of the most treatable if diagnosed early. This highlights the importance of prevention and regular medical follow-up.

When should you see a urologist?

It is recommended to consult a urology specialist when warning signs appear, such as:

  • Persistent difficulty urinating.
  • Frequent or urgent need to urinate, especially at night.
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
  • Presence of blood in urine or semen.
  • Pain or burning during urination.
  • Pain in the lower back, pelvis, or hips without an apparent cause.

Additionally, even in the absence of symptoms, it is advised to:

  • Have regular medical check-ups from age 50.
  • Start screenings from age 45 if there is a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors.

Early detection through blood tests (PSA) and medical examinations significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and maintaining a good quality of life.

A balanced diet protects your prostate

Diet is a key factor in preventing diseases and supporting urological health. Following a balanced diet for prostate health helps reduce the risk of prostate inflammation and promotes proper urinary system function.

Which foods help care for the prostate?

Maintaining a balanced diet is essential to reduce discomfort and promote urinary system health. Recommended habits include:

  • Incorporating fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants.
  • Including legumes and whole grains regularly.
  • Choosing healthy fats, such as olive oil, avocado, and nuts.
  • Limiting ultra-processed foods, saturated fats, and added sugars.

Which nutrients help protect the prostate?

Some specific compounds provide direct benefits for prostate health:

  • Lycopene, found in tomatoes and watermelon.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel).
  • Nuts and seeds, sources of zinc and selenium.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and protective nutrients supports prostate function, helps prevent disease, and improves overall well-being.

At CreuBlanca, we believe in the importance of prevention and early detection. Our urology specialists are here to answer questions, perform diagnostic tests, and design a personalized care plan for each patient.
