Prostate Cancer: Signs and Survival

Men in Greater Manchester are being urgently urged to recognize early signs of prostate cancer — a disease that kills more than 12,000 UK men annually — but catching it early can save lives, with over 80% surviving at least 10 years. Symptoms like frequent urination, blood in urine or semen, or difficulty emptying the bladder don’t always mean cancer, but they’re reasons to see a doctor — especially for men over 50, Black men, or those with family histories. The government is launching a targeted trial for Black men in 2027 to improve screening. Meanwhile, the NHS also reminds men to watch for heart disease and mental health risks — with lifestyle changes helping prevent heart issues and vital support available for mental health, where suicide is the top cause of death for men under 50. A free NHS health check at age 40-74 can help assess your risk. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
