Hydration Check: Are You Drinking Enough?

Staying hydrated is essential for your health 💧Did you know dehydration can cause:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Increased risk of falls

💡 Aim for 6–8 drinks a day — water, milk, and sugar-free squash all count. You may need extra fluids if you’re unwell or during warmer weather.

👉 Small sips throughout the day can make a big difference.

Ⓜ️PROSTATE HEALTH – MYTH vs FACTⓂ️

❌ Myth: “Prostate cancer always causes symptoms early.”
✔ Fact: Early prostate cancer often has no symptoms. Symptoms are more likely as it grows.

❌ Myth: “Only very elderly men get prostate problems.”
✔ Fact: Prostate problems are more common over 50, but risk increases with age.

❌ Myth: “A PSA test is part of routine screening for all men.”
✔ Fact: In the UK, there is no national screening programme for prostate cancer. Men over 50 can ask their GP about having a PSA blood test.

❌ Myth: “Urinary symptoms mean I have prostate cancer.”
✔ Fact: Most urinary symptoms are caused by benign (non-cancerous) prostate enlargement, not cancer — but it’s important to get symptoms checked.

If you’re worried about symptoms or your risk, speak to your GP practice.

• Tinned fish, beans, or lentils

🌼 Social Prescribing Day – 26th March 🌼

We are celebrating Social Prescribing and the difference it makes for our patients and local community at New Seaham Medical Group.

Our Social Prescriber takes time to listen and helps people with the things that matter most to them – from wellbeing and loneliness to money worries, housing, and connecting with local groups and support.

It’s about caring for the whole person, not just medical symptoms 💬💙

Ask your GP, nurse, or reception team about social prescribing.

🔹 Prostate Cancer Awareness 🔹

Know Your Risk

1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Your risk is higher if you:

✔ Are aged 50 or over (risk increases with age)
✔ Are of Black ethnicity (around 1 in 4 men)
✔ Have a father or brother who has had prostate cancer (your risk is around doubled)

If you’re concerned about your risk…

👉 Speak to your GP
