About this session
The prostate is a small gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and commonly changes with age. Prostate problems can range from benign enlargement and inflammation to prostate cancer, and different conditions can sometimes produce similar symptoms.
Urinary changes such as a weaker flow, difficulty starting, needing to urinate more often or getting up repeatedly during the night are common reasons men seek advice.
These symptoms do not automatically mean cancer, which is why proper assessment matters more than self-diagnosis.
This session gives a clear, practical introduction to prostate health.
It explores symptoms, risk factors, PSA testing, common prostate conditions and the healthcare pathway so attendees leave knowing what deserves attention and how to approach the conversation with greater confidence.
