Being a testimonial for prostate cancer prevention: a small gesture that can save lives.

Prostate cancer is the most common tumor among men, but with early diagnosis, it can be successfully treated. Too many avoid screenings due to fear or misinformation. Being a testimonial for prevention means raising awareness and encouraging others to care for their health. A simple test can save a life, maybe yours.

🔹 Why is prevention essential?
In its early stages, prostate cancer can be completely asymptomatic. This means it can develop silently and reduce the chances of effective treatment without regular check-ups. An early diagnosis, however, allows for timely intervention with less invasive therapies and a high success rate.

🔹 Who should get screened?

• After age 50, every man should undergo a urological check-up, even without symptoms;
• After age 45, if there is a family history of prostate cancer, it is advisable to start screenings earlier;
• The PSA test (Prostate-Specific Antigen), can provide valuable insights into prostate health combined with rectal examination done by a urologist.

🔹 The role of a prevention ambassador
Talking about men's health is an act of responsibility. Being a testimonial for prevention means:
✅ Spreading accurate and scientifically validated information.
✅ Encouraging friends, family, and colleagues to undergo screenings, without fear or stigma.
✅ Breaking the taboos surrounding men's health and promoting a culture of well-being and prevention.

🔹 Prevention is a sign of strength, not weakness
Taking care of yourself is an act of love towards your family and loved ones. Health is not just a personal matter but a collective responsibility: the more we talk about it, the more lives we can save.

Don't wait. If you're at the right age for a check-up, do it today. And if you know someone who should, encourage them by setting an example. Together, we can change mindsets and promote a culture of prevention.

💙 Take the first step. Your health matters.
