Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 1 in 8 will be diagnosed in their lifetime and over 50,000 new cases occur each year. Risk increases with age (especially over 50), family history, and Black ethnicity.

Prostate cancer symptoms only happen when the cancer is large enough to press on the tube that carries the urine from the bladder (urethra). If the cancer is in the early stage it may not cause any symptoms.

The symptoms of benign (non-cancerous) prostate conditions and prostate cancer are similar. They can include:

• needing to pee more often than usual, especially at night
• difficulty peeing – for example, a weak flow or having to strain to start peeing
• feeling like you have not completely emptied your bladder
• an urgent need to pee
• blood in your urine or semen
• rarely, pain when peeing or ejaculating

When to see a GP?

• If you're over 50 years old, come from a Black ethnic background or have a history of prostate cancer in your family and you're worried about your risk of prostate cancer
• If you're having trouble peeing or other symptoms of prostate cancer

The NHS Health Check is a crucial service for men aged 40 to 74, offering a free check-up of cardiovascular health. 

It can tell you whether you're at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as:

• heart disease
• diabetes
• kidney disease
• stroke

During the check-up you'll discuss how to reduce your risk of these conditions.

If you're aged 40 to 74 and do not have a pre-existing health condition, you should be invited to an NHS Health Check by your GP every 5 years.

If you think you are eligible but have not been invited, or are over due a Health Check , contact your GP surgery direct.
