It’s Men's Health Week!
2024 puts the focus on the good old prostate.
The veritable gentleman’s valet of male anatomy, this muscular little gland whips up an invigorating smoothie to prepare the swimming team (sperm) for their great expedition. Not all will make it, many will perish in the attempt, but the very fact you exist to peruse these words means at least one of the little blighters prevailed. Huzzah!
And three more rousing cheers for His Majesty the King (Charles, not Elvis)! Since thanks to his openness about treatment for an enlarged prostate earlier this year, searches for information on the condition soared.
And a jolly good thing too, for as well as more benign issues, 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer, while if you’re over 50, you’re black, or your dad or brother had it, you’re at even higher risk.
Yet rest assured, prostate cancer is not always life-threatening. But when it is, the earlier you discover it, the more likely it is to be cured.
So, the more men who understand the workings of this potent little powerhouse, the better, quite frankly.
