Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
Watch our Facebook Live Prostate Cancer Awareness Session.
March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, the most common cancer among men in the UK.
1 in 8 men are at risk of prostate cancer. Men over 50, black men and men with a family history of prostate cancer are most at risk. The risk increases with age. You can check your risk online using prostate cancer UK's website.
Signs and symptoms
Many men don't have any signs or symptoms so it is important to note any changes in the way you urinate. Symptoms may include:
- difficulty starting to urinate or emptying your bladder
- a weak flow
- feeling your bladder hasn’t fully emptied
- dribbling urine after you finish urinating
- needing to urinate more often than usual, especially at night
- a sudden need to urinate (may sometimes leak urine before you get to the toilet).
