Amritsar: Prostate cancer is a common yet serious disease affecting men, but with timely diagnosis and treatment, lives can be saved. Senior Urologist Dr. Manish Garg from Abrol Hospital (a unit of EMC Hospitals) emphasized the growing concern around prostate cancer and the urgent need for public awareness. According to Dr. Garg, prostate cancer is not necessarily fatal if diagnosed early. Unfortunately, many men tend to ignore its early signs, leading to delayed treatment and increased complications. The most effective weapon against prostate cancer remains awareness and timely screening.
“One test can save thousands of lives!”
This isn’t just a slogan—it’s a truth. Delayed diagnosis of prostate cancer can often prove fatal. Therefore, it is crucial that men over the age of 50, especially those with a family history of cancer, undergo annual health screenings.
“Over 50? Get your prostate checked yearly!”
This simple habit ensures better health and a longer life.
Recognizing the Symptoms
In the early stages, prostate cancer symptoms may appear mild and include frequent urination, difficulty urinating, interrupted flow, or waking up at night to urinate. These signs may seem like normal aging effects, but ignoring them can be dangerous.
“Symptoms may seem minor—but never overlook them!”
Prostate cancer often spreads silently, and by the time noticeable symptoms arise, the disease may already be in an advanced stage.
Advanced Screening at Abrol Hospital
Dr. Garg shares that Abrol Hospital is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools for prostate cancer. Simple and effective methods like the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test and Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) can detect prostate cancer at an early stage.
“Awareness is the first step toward a cure.”
With the right information, early diagnosis and treatment become achievable. That’s why healthcare professionals consistently advocate for regular screenings.
“Every man’s responsibility – timely health monitoring.”
Gone are the days when people only visited hospitals after feeling symptoms. Modern healthcare focuses on prevention, and prostate cancer is a prime example of why.
“Don’t delay – fight prostate cancer before it starts.”
Dr. Garg firmly believes that if men become more aware of their health, many prostate cancer-related deaths can be prevented.
