November is Men’s Health month and many of my peers are fervently growing their moustaches for “Movember”.  I won’t be growing one.  I have tried.  After a week I am overcome by the overwhelming urge to shave.

However I will do my bit to raise attention to a very worthwhile cause - Men’s Health and prostate cancer.  Prostate cancer is the most prevalent of the cancers in men and most commonly affects men over fifty.  It is important for men to talk to their GPs about prostate cancer and consider have their prostate examined and a blood test called a PSA test. 

If you are over fifty and haven’t discussed prostate health with your GP in the past 2 years make an appointment this month.  If you are younger, or looking for things you can do to improve your prostate health have a look at The Ultimate Prostate Health guide for some more interesting facts on diet and lifestyle factors.
