The Dhaka Times Desk Doctors believe that this disease can occur at any age. However, after reaching the age of 50, the risk of this disease increases a lot in the male body.
According to the data of the World Health Organization, after lung cancer, men are most affected by prostate cancer. However, in most cases, this cancer is not detected in the early stages. According to statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, one in eight men are at risk of developing prostate cancer. Doctors believe that this disease can occur at any age. However, after reaching the age of 50, the risk of this disease increases a lot in the body of men.
This gland is located below the bladder. It looks like a walnut. Doctors say, this gland can increase in size with age. Then the urge to urinate will come again and again. However, according to the velocity, urine does not occur. Basically this is assumed to be the initial symptom of the disease. But to be sure, 'PSA Test' or 'Prostate Specific Antigen Test' has to be done. Normal PSA levels in men's blood range from 1 to 4. However, caution should be exercised if the PSA level is more than 4. Digital rectal test can definitely tell if prostate cancer has occurred or not. 96 percent of patients survive if the disease is caught at an early stage.
What should you watch out for?
For example, there are various problems related to urine. However, doctors said, if blood appears with urine or semen, be careful. There may also be pain in the waist, back, chest and lower abdomen. Younger people may also face problems like premature ejaculation. When the prostate gland enlarges in size, it also creates extra pressure on the rectum and anus. So some people have problems with constipation or defecation. Therefore, if these problems occur, you should consult a doctor without delay. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
