It can happen to us all

The link is a story regarding Sir Rod Stewart from today's BBC 16/9/2019

The key passage to note is


"If every single man between 50 and 70 went to see their doctor, we would see the number of deaths reduced dramatically."

What are the symptoms?

There can be few symptoms of prostate cancer in the early stages, and because of its location most symptoms are linked to urination:
  • needing to urinate more often, especially at night
  • needing to run to the toilet
  • difficulty in starting to urinate
  • weak urine flow or taking a long time while urinating
  • feeling your bladder has not emptied fully
Men with male relatives who have had prostate cancer, black men and men over 50 are at higher risk of getting the disease.
