Nobody tells you what actually happens at a prostate check
I have been thinking about why so many men book the check and then quietly cancel it. I do not think it is fear of the prostate. I think many men feel that they are healthy so why would they go and get their prostate checked. You do not go and get your stomach checked unless you havce a stomach ache - right?
The problem lies in that the prostate can silently creap up on you and by the time it announces that it has a problem, it may be too late.
When you strip it back, a prostate check is usually pretty ordinary. A few questions about how you are sleeping and how the flow is. A simple blood test, the PSA. Sometimes a short physical exam. Most men walk out saying "that was it?"
If you really want to be prepared - check out the IPSS test in the Quick family guide. Answer those questions and take the test with you to the doctors. You will have everything you need.
I remember how long I let my own signs slide, and a lot of it was just not knowing what I was walking into.
So I want to ask you directly: for those of you who have been - what do you wish someone had told you before your first prostate check? Your answer might be the thing that gets another man in this group to finally book his.
Awareness is key.

Prostate awareness for men and women. The prostate does not belong in the shadows with no understanding. Awareness is the key.
