Prostate Cancer Awareness Week

PROSTATE cancer kills almost 10,000 men in the UK each year, which is why Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust is encouraging men to be aware of the killer disease in Prostate Cancer Awareness Week over March 24th to April 1.
The cancer of the prostate is the second most common cancer in men, after lung cancer. More than 20,000 men are diagnosed each year and, more worryingly, the numbers are rising. Figures released show the risk is greater in older men, with a staggering 95% of cases found in men over the age of 60.
In order to raise awareness the Southport and Ormskirk Hospital Trust had an information stand at both Southport & Formby District General Hospital and Ormskirk Hospital during the week. Leaflets and posters could be picked giving advice, information and aimed at encouraging men to go and see their GP, if they have any worries.
Jan Franklin, Uro-Oncology Nurse, said:- “Men are notorious for only seeing their doctor when they have been prompted to by their wife. But, however you feel, don’t be afraid, it is important to go and see a GP if you have any concerns.”
Symptoms to look out for include:- the need to rush to the toilet frequently, a weak urine flow, difficulty to pass urine, other signs are blood in the urine, lower back pain as well as or pain in the hips and pelvis.
Jan added:- “It is important to realise that these symptoms can be caused by other problems, but it is always best to get checked out if you are unsure.”
The Trust also supports The Prostate Cancer Charity, which raises vital funds needed for more research into the disease and a cure. If you would like to support the charity or organise your own fundraising event, contact the fundraising department on 020 8222 7644.
