By Dr. Michael Mol,
Globally, TESTICULAR cancer is the most common cancer among young men aged 15-39. Since there’s no routine screening for testicular cancer, regular self-exams are critical. Anything that doesn’t feel right should be seen by a doctor.
PROSTATE cancer often has no obvious symptoms, which is what makes screening so important … and screening isn’t as uncomfortable as it sounds.
A simple blood test can detect anything that may be amiss.
Getting to know your health this Movember is not only creating awareness around testicular and prostate cancer but mental health, anxiety and depression too (often side-lined as “not very manly.”)
Asking for help and support is not a sign of weakness.
It means you’re putting your own health first, something we should all be doing.
