Every day, a dozen or so men die from prostate cancer in Poland. About 20,000 cases of this cancer and over a thousand testicular cancers are detected in our country every year. Most of them are in an advanced stage. This can be avoided \u2013 just go for regular check-ups. It is worth thinking about this in November \u2013 the month of awareness of \u201cmale\u201d cancers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSANE PODIUM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among all cancers, prostate cancer takes the inglorious second place, right after lung cancer. The risk of getting the disease increases after the age of 50. Those who are under 40 are more likely to be attacked by testicular cancer, and penile cancer usually occurs in men around the age of 60. The statistics are dramatic and can be frightening, but as experts say, it is not fear that should be the reason for seeking medical attention, but concern for one's own health. Cancer detected early does not lead to death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u2013 Ostatnio m\u00f3wimy o raku prostaty jako o chorobie przewlek\u0142ej. Dlaczego? Bo z rakiem prostaty mo\u017cna umrze\u0107, nie trzeba umrze\u0107 na niego. Traktujmy si\u0119 po prostu jak samoch\u00f3d, w samochodzie robimy przegl\u0105d raz w roku. To my jako faceci mi\u0142uj\u0105cy si\u0119 w motoryzacji, powinni\u015bmy robi\u0107 to samo. Bierzemy od lekarza rodzinnego skierowanie. Kieruje nas na par\u0119 bada\u0144, mi\u0119dzy innymi na badanie PSA i przechodzimy z tym do dalszej diagnostyki  \u2013  <\/em>says the urologist Dr. Waldemar Bonczar.<\/strong> Prostate cancer develops slowly. It can take up to a dozen years from the first cancer cells to the appearance of symptoms. That is why regular tests are essential. Measuring the PSA level is a basic test that allows for early detection of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WITH THESE SYMPTOMS ON CITO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a preventive measure, after the age of 40, it is recommended to visit a urologist once a year. Unless there are worrying symptoms, then the family doctor issues a referral for a cito. There are several worrying symptoms that may indicate prostate cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Blood in the urine is something that<\/em> you have to come immediately! Difficulty in urinating, urgent urgency, leaking of urine should also be alarming signals. And such forced micturition, it is already known that age-related issues with prostate enlargement begin \u2013 <\/em>he enumerates Dr. Bonczar. <\/strong>Do innych niepokoj\u0105cych objaw\u00f3w mo\u017cna zaliczy\u0107: b\u00f3l i pieczenie podczas oddawania moczu, zaleganie moczu w p\u0119cherzu, zaburzenia erekcji, b\u00f3l w kroczu i za spojeniem \u0142onowym, obrz\u0119k genitali\u00f3w, b\u00f3le podbrzusza. Patrz\u0105c na statystyki, nale\u017cy te\u017c wspomnie\u0107 o raku j\u0105der. W przeciwie\u0144stwie do raka prostaty , nowotwory j\u0105dra to choroba m\u0142odych m\u0119\u017cczyzn, w wieku od 15. do 40. lat.  St\u0105d profilaktyka to podstawa, jednak tutaj cz\u0119sto pojawia si\u0119 problem. Wstyd i strach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO THE UROLOGIST WITHOUT SHAME <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although men are becoming more aware, it is still the embarrassment towards a urologist that most often stops them from visiting. Specialists say that there are two proven ways to overcome the embarrassment towards a urologist: arming yourself with solid knowledge about what the examination looks like, and reporting to a doctor you can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 It is very important to come to a urologist who is an open person. A person who will initially defuse the atmosphere, talk to the patient for a while, and not tell him three words, please turn around, cut him off and the job is done. I always tell every patient, first let's talk, do an ultrasound, and then a specific test, which patients are most often afraid of because it is still stigmatized \u2013 <\/em>emphasizes Dr. Bonczar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOT THAT SCARY UROLOGIST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first stage of the visit is the already mentioned conversation with the patient, during which the doctor asks about various types of ailments. The second stage is usually an ultrasound examination. Finally, a rectal examination is performed, which involves the doctor inserting a finger in a rubber glove into the patient's rectum. The doctor examines the area of the anus in this way and checks for abrasions, cracks, varicose veins, and changes of a cancerous origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 "Regarding the examination, everyone says it's overrated, that they get up later from the couch and say they scared me unnecessarily. I thought it would be worse. I thought it was different. But first, there's a general ultrasound, and then the cherry on the cake, a digital rectal examination. And the patients take it well, just like men. One or two will smile, a third won't say a word, and yet another will shed a tear and say, 'Doctor, I'll see you in a year, because it's nothing to worry about.'" <\/em>shares the doctor. Shame and fear of the urologist will certainly reduce the good opinions about the specialist we want to go to. A well-performed examination should be gentle, efficient and quick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
