I’m really proud of the guys at our clinic for taking part in Movember this year. We’ll keep posting pictures of the progress of our fuzzy moustache merchants throughout November. But of course, Movember is in support of prostate cancer research and awareness and I would not be doing my bit if I did not give you gentlemen (and the ladies who will need to nag the more stubborn breed of gentleman) a quick overview of what to look out for. We have seen multiple cases of prostate cancer at our clinic but because detection has been early, these patients have made a full recovery with full sexual and urological function in place, which is fantastic. So here’s my list – don’t ignore these symptoms!

•   Having to rush to the toilet to pass urine
•    Difficulty in passing urine
•    Passing urine more often, especially at night
•    Blood in urine or semen (rare)
