As Prostate Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, the conversation doesn't stop here.
September has been a valuable opportunity to raise awareness about prostate cancer and the importance of early detection, but the message remains just as important all year round.
As an organisation committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our communities, we know that staying active is only one part of the picture. Looking after your health through regular check-ups and early detection is just as important.
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 Kiwi men in their lifetime, yet when detected early, it can often be treated successfully. One of the challenges is that it can develop without obvious symptoms, making regular health checks an important part of staying well.
If you have a dad, husband, partner, brother, uncle, teammate, coach, workmate, or friend aged 45 and over, take a moment to check in with them and encourage them to talk to their GP about a prostate health check.
A simple conversation today could help someone take an important step for their health and wellbeing.
