Prostate Health
pHKind was created with a clear purpose: to support men in taking proactive care of their health—starting with the prostate. As men age, prostate health becomes a central part of overall wellbeing, yet it's often overlooked until problems arise.
Prostate Health: Know the Signs, Trust Your Body
At pHKind, we believe that awareness is the first step toward better health. When it comes to prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men, early detection can make a world of difference. That’s why we’re here to help you understand the signs, listen to your body, and take action when something doesn’t feel right.
Understanding the Prostate
The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder. It plays a crucial role in male reproductive health by producing the fluid that carries sperm. As men age, changes in the prostate are common—but it’s important to distinguish between normal ageing and signs of something more serious.
Common Symptoms to Look Out For
Prostate cancer often develops slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, there are key signs that shouldn’t be ignored:
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow
- A weak or interrupted urine stream
- Pain or burning during urination
- Blood in urine or semen
- Erectile dysfunction
- Pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis
These symptoms don’t always mean prostate cancer—they could be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or an infection—but they do warrant attention.
What to Do If You Notice Symptoms
Your health is worth checking in on. If you experience any of the above symptoms, don’t wait—schedule a visit with your GP. A simple blood test called the PSA test (Prostate-Specific Antigen) can give important insights into prostate health. Your doctor may also recommend a physical examination or further scans if needed. At pHKind, we know that many men avoid these conversations out of fear or embarrassment. But knowledge is empowering, and early action could save your life.
