What can we do?
Inform adult men about the benefits of taking care of their urologic health.
Contrary to popular belief, the first visit to a urologist is not an unpleasant experience.
Some men delay or avoid doing their first consultation. Patients with a prostatic disease often suffer due to the lack of information regarding their condition. Such conditions may not exhibit symptoms until they have advanced, making them harder to treat.

- Men younger than 45 do not have to get the PSA test yet
