Proud to be celebrating 170 years in business
Every year in the UK, more than 55,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, and sadly around 12,000 men die from the disease. Yet despite how common it is, many men are still unaware of the risks, the signs, or the power of early detection.
During Men’s Health Month, let’s commit to breaking the silence and saving lives.
Understanding Prostate Cancer
What is it?
The prostate is a small gland in men that plays a role in reproduction. Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate grow abnormally and uncontrollably.
Who’s at risk?
Signs and symptoms
Early prostate cancer may have no clear symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they can include:
That’s why awareness and risk checks are so important, even when things feel normal.
Why Early Detection Matters
Catching prostate cancer early dramatically improves outcomes. Many early-stage cases are treatable with surgery, radiotherapy, or active surveillance. Late-stage disease is more complex and may require hormone therapy or other systemic treatment.
Because prostate cancer often grows slowly, there is usually a window of opportunity for detection before symptoms emerge.
What You Can Do
1. Know your risk
If you are over 50 (or 45 if you are Black or have a family history), talk to your GP about your risk and whether a PSA blood test might be appropriate.
2. Stay informed
Learn about symptoms, risk factors, and the latest advances in care. The more we know, the more empowered we become.
3. Support research and care
Charities play a crucial role in funding research, patient support, and awareness campaigns. In the UK, Prostate Cancer UK is a leading charity dedicated to eliminating deaths from prostate cancer. You can visit them here: Prostate Cancer UK
4. Spread the word
Share this post. Encourage the men in your life fathers, brothers, friends to check their risk, talk openly, and not delay seeking advice.
A Call to Action
Men’s Health Month is not just a reminder; it is a call to act.
Every day that goes by without awareness is a day lives are at greater risk. Let’s make this month count:
• Share this post with one man in your life
• Tag someone who should read it
• Encourage conversations in your home, workplace, or social circles
Together, we can change the narrative around men’s health and help ensure no man dies too soon from prostate cancer.
