September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and Coryell Health encourages men to schedule regular prostate exams to spot signs of prostate cancer early on. According to Coryell Health urologist Dr. David Pinkstaff, “most men should begin prostate cancer screening around age 50, but that’s not one-size-fits-all. Men at higher risk, particularly African American men or those with a family history, should consider starting as early as age 40. Early screening increases the chances of detecting cancer at a treatable stage, which can greatly improve long-term health outcomes.” Call (254) 865-2166 to schedule your prostate exam with Dr. Pinkstaff today: https://bit.ly/4fDa9hp.
