September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, located just below the bladder in men, and plays a key role in producing seminal fluid. While many cases progress slowly and may not significantly impact health, others can be aggressive and require prompt treatment. Risk factors include age, family history, genetics, and race, with symptoms such as difficulty urinating, blood in urine or semen, and pelvic pain potentially indicating the presence of cancer. We offer valuable resources to help you understand prostate cancer, from risk assessment and early detection to treatment options, empowering you to take charge of your health.
