For the gents (of a certain age)...
Just a gentle reminder,
Despite Covid precautions it’s still possible to organise a blood test to check blood count (prostrate) at your GPs. Results given within a week and if normal you don’t necessarily require a physical check. (Just got my results today) 👍🏻 I lost my dad to Prostrate cancer 5 years ago and I get checked regularly. I let this last check slip by 6 months (usually get checked near my birthday). Please make sure you get checked regularly ... you know it makes sense ... even with restrictions in place. Regards |

I wonder why these tests aren’t routinely scheduled, similarly to smear tests for women.

Because men haven't raised the profile of this problem high enough. I'll bet that there are very few men who have written to their MP or anybody else in authority about it.

Can you just ask every year for the test - no questions? What do you ask for?

That reminds me to ask for the blood test. I have no desire to have the physical one again!
Just joking I will if needed. Sad to say the Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening testing is paused yet again as well here. That applies to Men only over 65.
