How much do you really know about prostate cancer? 🎗️
A high PSA doesn’t automatically mean cancer.
Prostate cancer can sometimes develop without obvious symptoms.

And a diagnosis doesn’t always mean immediate surgery.
There are many misconceptions around prostate cancer — and knowing what’s true can help men make better, more informed decisions about their health.

This Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, don’t rely on myths or assumptions. Know your risk, understand your options and speak to a urologist when you have concerns.

A prostate cancer diagnosis is not a one-size-fits-all situation.

Hearing the word “cancer” can make treatment decisions feel urgent and overwhelming. But before deciding on a treatment, it is important to understand what type of prostate cancer you have, its grade, its stage, and whether it has spread.

Depending on these factors, treatment may range from active surveillance to surgery, radiation or other therapies.
For some men with lower-risk prostate cancer, active surveillance may be an appropriate approach — which means carefully monitoring the cancer rather than treating it immediately.

The important thing is not to make decisions based on fear or someone else's experience. Your cancer, your health and your priorities matter.

This Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, let's encourage men to understand their diagnosis, ask questions and make informed treatment decisions.

🎗️ Because the right treatment isn't just about treating cancer — it's about treating the right cancer, in the right way, for the right patient.

If you have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, this is something I want you to remember.

A cancer diagnosis can make everything feel uncertain at once. But you don't have to figure everything out in a single day.

Take the time to understand your diagnosis. Know what your reports mean. Understand the treatment options available to you, including their possible benefits, risks and impact on your everyday life.

And please, don't hesitate to talk about the things that may feel difficult or uncomfortable. Urinary control, sexual function, fertility, recovery and quality of life are all important parts of your care.

As your doctor, my role isn't just to treat the cancer. It is also to help you understand what lies ahead, answer your concerns and help you make a decision that is right for you.

A diagnosis may change your path, but it does not define your life.

🎗️ This Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, let's make informed conversations a part of cancer care.

Not every change in your urinary health is a sign of prostate cancer — but every persistent or unusual change deserves attention.

As men get older, it can be easy to dismiss changes in urination, discomfort or other symptoms as a normal part of ageing. But assuming they are “nothing to worry about” can sometimes delay the right evaluation.

At the same time, it's important not to panic. Many prostate-related symptoms can have causes other than cancer, including benign prostate enlargement, infection or inflammation.

The right approach is simple: don't ignore, don't self-diagnose — get informed and get evaluated.

This Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, let's encourage men to pay attention to their health and seek medical advice when something doesn't feel right.
Know the signs. Know your risk. Take action when it matters.

Sometimes the people closest to us notice health changes before we do.

💬 "You're waking up several times every night."
💬 "You've been using the washroom much more often."
💬 "Why are you avoiding drinking water?"

These changes may seem small, but they can sometimes point to an underlying urinary or prostate condition.

Pay attention—not just to your body, but also to the people who care about you.

Tag someone who always notices when you're not feeling your best.

You wouldn’t wait for your car to break down before getting it serviced. So why wait when it comes to your body? 🚗🩺

As we age, our health priorities evolve—from building healthy habits in our 20s to keeping an eye on blood pressure, blood sugar, kidney health and prostate health as the years go by.

Regular health checks and timely conversations with your doctor can help you stay proactive about your well-being.

How overdue is your health servicing?

Our fathers often spend their lives looking out for us—but how often do we check in on their health? 💙

A simple conversation about changes in urination, blood in the urine, or regular health check-ups could encourage them to seek medical attention at the right time.

Don’t wait for a special occasion to ask, “Dad, how’s your health?” Sometimes, one conversation can make all the difference.

Your bathroom habits may be telling you more about your health than you realise. 🚻

Waking up multiple times at night to urinate? Noticing a weaker urine stream? Feeling the urge to rush to the bathroom more often?

These changes shouldn’t always be dismissed as “just old age.” If you notice persistent changes in your urinary habits, consider discussing them with a qualified doctor or urologist.
