One in eight men will get prostate cancer. If you’re a trans-woman or non-binary, your risk may be different. You can check your risk on the Prostate Cancer UK website: https://prostatecanceruk.org/risk-checker
Most men with early prostate cancer won’t notice any signs or symptoms. If you notice any of the following:
- difficulty starting to urinate or emptying your bladder
- a weak flow when you urinate
- a feeling that your bladder hasn’t emptied properly
- dribbling urine after you finish urinating
- needing to urinate more often than usual, especially at night
- a sudden need to urinate – you may sometimes leak urine before you get to the toilet…
you should make an appointment to speak to a member of your GP practice team.
