Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, but with the right lifestyle and early screening, it can often be prevented, detected early, and treated successfully.

Why Early Screening Matters
Men aged 50 and above (or from 45 with a family history of prostate cancer) should discuss PSA testing and prostate checks with their doctor. Early detection means simpler treatment and better survival outcomes. At Southern Gem Hospital, you can get your PSA test, prostate scan, and consult with our urologist – all in one place.

Warning Signs to Watch For
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
Weak or interrupted urine stream
Frequent urination at night
Blood in urine or semen
Pain in the hips, back, or pelvis

Lifestyle Tips for Men’s Health
Eat a balanced diet: rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Limit red and processed meats, high-fat dairy, and junk foods.
Stay active: at least 150 mins of moderate activity weekly.
Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity increases prostate cancer risk.
Quit smoking, limit alcohol.
Manage stress and prioritize sleep.

Take-Home Message
Get screened regularly and don’t wait for symptoms.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle to reduce risk.
Talk to your doctor if you notice urinary or pelvic changes.
