Your lifestyle magazine Don’t procrastinate...... Check that prostate!
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Europe, with Western and Northern European men having the highest number of diagnosis after Australia. 99% of cases are in men over the age of 50. Those are the frightening facts. But the reassuring news is that a combination of simple tests can be carried out to establish a diagnosis or risk level of prostate cancer. One of the most common complaints in men is prostate enlargement. This is NOT prostate cancer. But both conditions can cause the same symptoms:
• Poor stream. The flow of urine is weaker, and it takes longer to empty your bladder. • Hesitancy. You may have to wait at the toilet for a while before urine starts to flow. • Dribbling. Towards the end of passing urine, the flow becomes a slow dribble. • Poor emptying. You may have a feeling of not quite emptying your bladder.
You may be symptom free or you may be turning a blind eye to your symptoms. As part of Clinica Glorieta’s continued Preventative Medicine Campaign we are trying to encourage awareness of this common disease. For this reason we have put together a comprehensive package of relevant tests at a reasonable price. When you visit the clinic you will have a consultation with our specialist urologist. During this consultation you will have an external and internal examination, an ultrasonic examination and the all important PSA and a fPSA blood tests. All of this for just 89€.
Sometimes we tend to ignore the health of our private parts because we are too embarrassed to discuss potential issues or symptoms with
a stranger. We can only encourage you by saying “Please, don’t be shy guys!” Although some of the tests are physical it’s important to remember that our specialist urologist will have performed these examinations thousands of times. We would also invite partners to encourage their menfolk to talk openly and have a medical check up at least once a year.
You are BOTH welcome to meet and discuss your concerns.
Telephone 966 435 437 to make your appointment.
A final word from our clinic director Dr. Christoph Meyer-Josten: “It’s never too late to check that prostate!”
As always at Clinica Glorieta we offer our patients the optimum in care and treatment. We were the first ever private clinic on the Marina Alta to perform the advanced green light laser surgery as an effective treatment for prostrate enlargement.
