Changes in urination, pelvic discomfort or a raised PSA result can be put down to age, stress or a passing infection. In many cases, symptoms are linked to common non-cancerous prostate conditions. Even so, they should still be checked. Prostate cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages, so it helps to know your…
An enlarged prostate is common as men get older, but size alone does not tell the whole story. A larger prostate may cause urinary symptoms, make some procedures more suitable than others, or influence surgical planning. Equally, some men with a significantly enlarged prostate have few symptoms, while others with a smaller prostate can feel…
If you are wondering about the right prostate check age, there is no single answer for everyone. For most men, the conversation starts around 50.

But outcomes often hinge on something more basic: who performs the operation, and how the whole team supports you before and after it. This guide breaks down what to look for, what to ask, and what genuinely makes a difference when you’re…
Hearing that you may need prostate cancer surgery can bring a lot of questions at once, including whether a minimally invasive approach is truly better or simply newer. For many men, keyhole and robot-assisted techniques can support a smoother early recovery. What matters most is that surgery is right for your cancer, and that your…
