Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer – HealthWest Medical & Specialist Centre

The prostate, a walnut-sized gland in men, plays a crucial role in reproductive health. However, prostate issues, such as Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer, are common, affecting many men over 55.

Common symptoms of prostate problems include:

● Weak or interrupted urinary stream
● Frequent urination, including nighttime awakenings
● Difficulty starting or stopping urination
● Blood in urine or semen
● Pain in the lower back, pelvis, or hips

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with your doctor.

Early detection is key to successful prostate cancer treatment. Our experienced doctors at HealthWest Medical Centre offer comprehensive prostate health assessments, including:

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)

A physical examination to check the prostate for abnormalities.

PSA Test

A blood test to measure Prostate-Specific Antigen levels, which can indicate prostate problems.

Ultrasound

Imaging tests to visualise the prostate.

Biopsy

A tissue sample taken from the prostate for examination under a microscope.
While regular PSA testing has been a topic of debate, our doctors can provide personalised advice on whether this screening is suitable for you based on your individual risk factors.
