Take Charge of Your Health this Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men—yet when it’s found early, it’s highly treatable.

- Know your risk factors (age, family history, race, lifestyle)
- Talk openly with your doctor about screening
- Stay proactive with regular checkups

Every man’s journey is unique, and so is every screening plan. Taking the time to learn your risk—and when to start screening—can make all the difference.

Your health matters. Start the conversation today.

In its early stages, prostate cancer often has no symptoms—making screening critical. https://bit.ly/3IflRmc

Possible signs can include changes in urination, blood in urine or semen, or persistent pain in the back, hips, or pelvis. These symptoms may also be caused by non-cancerous conditions, so it’s important to talk with your doctor.

🩺 When to Screen

Age 50: Most men should begin discussions

Age 40–45: High-risk men (family history or African American men)

Early detection saves lives by offering more treatment options and better outcomes.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and while not all risk factors can be controlled, knowing them is the first step toward prevention and early detection. Learn more here: https://southwesturology.com/news/understanding-prostate-cancer-risk-factors/

- Age: Risk increases after 50
- Family History: Higher if a father, brother, or son had prostate cancer
- Race: African American men face higher risk and often more advanced disease
- Lifestyle & Genetics: Diet, obesity, and BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations can play a role

🩺 When to Be Tested
Average risk: Begin discussions at age 50
High risk: Start earlier, around 40–45

Screening usually involves a PSA blood test and sometimes a digital re**al exam (DRE). Healthy habits, regular checkups, and open conversations with your doctor all help lower risk and protect your health.
