September marks Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a time to spotlight one of the most common cancers affecting men. At Urology Associates, we’re committed to raising awareness, encouraging early detection, and providing expert care for prostate health.
🧠 Why Prostate Health Matters
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men during their lifetime. While it’s often slow-growing, early detection is key to successful treatment. Symptoms may not appear until the disease has progressed, which is why routine screenings are so important.
Common symptoms to watch for:
- Difficulty urinating or weak stream
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Blood in urine or semen
- Pain in the pelvic area or lower back
🧪 PSA Screening: What You Should Know
A Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test is a simple way to detect potential issues early. We recommend men begin discussing PSA screening with their doctor around age 50—or earlier if they have a family history of prostate cancer or are in a higher-risk group.
🏥 Our Approach to Prostate Care
At Urology Associates, we offer:
- PSA testing and digital rectal exams
- Advanced imaging and biopsy services
- Minimally invasive treatment options
- Personalized care plans based on your lifestyle and goals
💡 September Health Tip
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Proactive screening can save lives. If you’re over 50 or have risk factors, schedule a prostate health check this month.
Let September be the month you take control of your health. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
