Prostate cancer • There are three main risk factors for getting prostate cancer, all of which you cannot change. They are: • Getting older: men over the age of 50 are more at risk • Family history: just like breast cancer, if someone in your family has had prostate cancer, it may increase your risk • Your race: Black men are more likely to get prostate cancer. Experts are unsure why but suggest it might be linked to genes The NHS list the following as symptoms of prostate cancer: • Needing to pee more frequently – especially during the night • Needing to rush to the toilet • Difficulty in starting to pee • Straining or taking a long time while peeing • Weak flow • Feeling that your bladder has not fully emptied • Blood in your urine or semen • These symptoms do not mean you have prostate cancer.
However, if you have any of the symptoms listed above, or if something doesn’t seem right, go see your doctor. Seeing your doctor for a simple prostate exam is the best way to check everything is ok or catch it early.
Having a prostate exam might sound like a scary concept, but remember, early detection is essential for treating cancer.
What is ‘Movember’? In the 80s, moustaches (for good or bad) were the fashion accessory for your face. Now, not so much. However, in the month of November, we travel back in time. Men across the world grow don impressive (in some cases) moustaches and for a great cause – Movember Movember has established itself as the leading charity when it comes to raising awareness of men’s health issues. It’s not just awareness that the charity raises; they also raise vital funds through annual events. Started in 2003 by two friends in Australia, Movember was born. The pair managed to get 30 people involved, and since then, it has become a global movement. Today, more than 6 million people get involved, and the charity are raising million and million dollars for men’s health. Some of the men’s health issues that Movember focuses on include prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health/suicide prevention.
