March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month💙

It’s important to know the signs and symptoms – especially as risk increases with age. Most cases develop in men aged 50 or older and prostate cancer is more common in Black men.
Prostate cancer often develops slowly, so there may be no symptoms for many years.

Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Contact your GP if you notice any changes in your body or something doesn’t feel right.
Find more information on prostate cancer.

It’s important to get untreated heartburn under control as a cancer prevention measure. If your heartburn symptoms persist for 3 weeks or more, you should speak to your GP and have it checked.

Self-medicating with over-the-counter or off-the-shelf products, such as Gaviscon or Rennie, should always be seen as only a short-term solution.
