🍑 Prostate Cancer: Know the Signs

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. It often develops slowly — so symptoms might not appear right away.

🚨 What to watch for:
• Difficulty starting or stopping urination
• Weak flow or frequent urination, especially at night
• Blood in urine or semen
Timely checks save lives. Don’t ignore the signs.
💬 Concerned?
