Hi . You are worried that you are taking lot of medicine for fungal treatment and prostatitis as it seems from your text, that it may cause cancer in future. Okay. It is good to stay alert but it is not good to worry. U see. Staying alert makes you take action at the right time but worrying can add on more problems. So, prevention is better than cure. Eat healthy with a lot of antioxidants. Ur medicines can add toxins and free radicals in the body , so need to clear them with good diet and plenty of fluids . In case of family history of cancer , we follow NCCN guidelines for screening particular carcinomas but if you don't have family history, it is good to modify lifestyle, maintain weight and have good rest .
Next Steps
So, Don't worry and stay alert. Visit nearest professional for a regular checkup and in case of any abnormalities, further workup can be done accordingly.

Since you are only 39 years, you need not do any routine screening for any of the cancers now. For prostate, after 50 years you have to do annual screening with urologist to examine and blood PSA test. [ You mention having prostatia or so. Then PSA will be falsely elevated. Please do checkup and assess PSA based on urology opinion only]. For high risk people with family history, screening should start at 40 years. Please check if any family history on your mothers or fathers side is there or not. Colonoscopy after 50 years once in 5 years. Please take active measures to reduce your weight. This will reduce the inflammation and reduce risk of occurrence of cancer . Didn’t understand about fungus what you have mentioned. If you are smoker, need to undergo lung cancer screening also from 50 years. Low dose Ct scan. Oral and throat examination for any tumours in that region. Other cancers are not routinely screened unless there is a syndrome or family history.
