Get Checked
If you are over 50 (younger for those with relevant family history and black men) you should talk to your GP about a prostate health check. Catching prostate cancer early gives you a far better chance of beating it.
Prostate cancer can be symptomless, but speak to your GP if you experience any of the following, regardless of your age:
-
needing to pee more frequently, often during the night.
-
needing to rush to the toilet.
-
difficulty in starting to pee (hesitancy)
-
straining or taking a long time while peeing
-
weak flow
-
feeling that your bladder has not emptied fully
-
blood in urine or blood in semen.
Risk Checker

Prostate cancer is not always life-threatening. But when it is, the earlier you catch it the more likely it is to be cured.
