Are you still peeing normally?
Every day in Nigeria, about 31 men lose their lives to prostate cancer.
Not from old age. Not from an accident they could not avoid. From a disease that gives warning signs long before it becomes deadly.
Struggling to urinate. Waking up several times at night to pass urine. A weak stream. Blood in urine. Pain when urinating.
Sound familiar? Most men brush it off as "normal ageing" and keep quiet about it.
By the time majority of Nigerian men finally see a doctor, about 8 out of 10 are already at a stage that is very difficult to cure.
Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer among Nigerian men, and the deadliest. The cruel part is this: caught early, it is one of the most treatable cancers in medicine. Caught late, it becomes one of the hardest to survive.
So ask yourself. Are you checking your prostate, or are you hoping it takes care of itself?
The difference between the two outcomes is one decision. The decision to get screened before symptoms force your hand.
Alpha Specialist Hospital and Urology Center offers prostate screening, diagnosis and treatment for men who want to stay ahead of this disease, not chase it after it has already spread.
