Guys, what is your health regimine for your precious little... prostate?

[lightbulb27]

You don't want to run into problems in this area, and it seems to happen to many men.

What else do you do... do you notice?

Men should have a yearly Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test.

It is a blood test that can help diagnose prostate problems including prostate cancer. It is not a perfect test, but until something better comes along.

PSA is a protein that is made by prostate cells. It is measured using a blood test. Most men will not have a raised PSA level. PSA levels can be raised in a number of conditions, such as a urinary infection, an enlarged prostate, prostatitis or prostate cancer.

If you decide you want a PSA test, you should refrain from sexual activity and vigorous exercise, such as cycling, in the 2 days before the test as they can affect the PSA level.

Having a prostate biopsy or cystoscopy (where a small tube is inserted into the bladder) in the 6 weeks before the test may also affect the PSA level.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in UK men. Each year about 50,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 12,000 die from the disease. More than 75% (3 in 4) of men with prostate cancer survive with the disease for 10 or more years. Prostate cancer is rare in men under 50 and the risk increases with age. Most research into PSA testing has been among men aged between 50 and 69.

A PSA test can help pick up prostate cancer before you have any symptoms.

A PSA test can help pick up a fast-growing cancer at an early stage, when treatment could stop it spreading and causing problems or shortening your life.

I've heard of that. a test is probably wise at some age. But I wonder as well what can be done to avoid issues is what I was thinking when posted.
But your point is valid to check for problems we cannot detect normally.

Prostate Cancer is silent killer of men as there are few overt symptoms, but the research invested in it is paltry in comparison to what is pumped into Breast Cancer every year.

Make sure I regularly drain it to maintain it. I ate a few extra 🍅 tomatoes too. o

[Dorothy90]

Also once a month to spa.

[lightbulb27]

yes, wife and I do that too. everything changes, count on it, and change with it.
but girls don't have a prostate do they, or am I misreading your pink?

[purplepoppy]

Why do you put sunscreen on your prostate?

[lightbulb27]

@purplepoppy someone once told me to "stick it where the sun doesn't shine". I just made assumptions.

Just kidding...
I was responding to other parts of the question and thought process. no sunscreen "down under".

Waiting to see some idiot male on here say jacking off is the answer to everything. It is only a matter of time.

[beaves11]

Actually they genuinely do say that’s how to prevent prostate cancer. The fluid is slightly carcinogenic, and is constantly being produced. By draining the gland more often the concentrations are lower.

I’m not joking.

[Notherndude84]

You called it, there are several idiots who believe it

[SotiCoto]

Nothing. If I die of prostate cancer then so be it.

[Alex-Snow]

Lots of orgasms either solo or preferably with someone special.

[Notherndude84]
