How is your Mow growing for this month…? Remember it is MOVEMBER!
November is Prostate cancer awareness month and all guys over the age of 50 is encouraged to have a PSA done and insist on a DRE (rectal examination) with you GP if you haven’t had one yet this year.
Come on guys, it can save your life!
Besides prostate cancer, there is BPH – Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, the enlarged prostate causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). You know that weak stream you may have, the increased visits to the toilet at night, leading to sleep deprivation and inability to function at work. You could also be experiencing urgency to urinate and even have accidents where you wet yourself… the dreaded incontinence. And what about toilet mapping, knowing where all the toilets are in the vicinity when leaving home. Most guys ignore these symptoms and put this down to normal ageing. Yes and No. You can stop the process and even reverse it if you address this early in the stage.
We have new minimally invasive procedures which can reverse this, and in the process maintain normal sexual function. No more side effects with drugs!
Don’t put your head in the sand and ignore the symptoms! They won’t go away, only worsen. Don’t wait till it’s irreversible. Seek help, see your GP and obtain a referral to your local Urologist.
