Awareness of prostate cancer is essential as early detection can save your life. Sadly, 10 Australian men will lose their battle with prostate cancer today.* What are the symptoms?- Frequent urination- Urgent and sudden need to urinate- Difficulty in urinating- Weaker than normal stream- Painful ejaculation- Blood in urine or semen- Erectile dysfunctionWhat is Prostate Cancer?Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells in the prostate, a small walnut-sized gland found only in men, grow uncontrollably and form a malignant tumour. How is prostate cancer detected?The most common methods used to detect warning signs associated with prostate cancer are the PSA test (prostate-specific antigen test) and the DRE (digital rectal examination). Males over the age of 50 should discuss prostate cancer with their GP and be screened annually. This can be done through a simple PSA blood test, which checks for elevated level of prostate specific antigen.Don't put off seeing your GP for an annual health check.
