Let’s Hear It For the Boys!
Happy Father’s Day to all you dad’s out there. June is a great time to talk about men’s health.
Most men know about the importance of a regular prostate exam with their provider – but did you know that men should also check their testicles each month as well?
It is recommended for men to do a regular testicular exam each month – get familiar with what is normal for you – any abnormal lumps and bumps should be discussed with your provider. For a great guide:

Regular prostate screening are important beginning at age 40, and it’s recommended every 1-2 years – yearly if at a higher risk.
Danger signals to watch out for include straining or having to bear down to get a urinary stream going, feeling the need to void frequently, or like you are not completely empty your bladder.
Left unchecked, even a benign enlarged prostate can restrict the flow of urine and can cause kidney damage and urine backs up and puts pressure on kidneys.
Also, prostate cancers have a very high cure rate when caught early. Be sure to talk with your provider to ensure you are getting the proper screenings at the recommended intervals for your own health circumstances and background.

3yKimberlee Langford, BSN RN CCM CRMT CPC I appreciate you sharing this. I won't lie, it's been interesting to observe how men have been pushed to take a back seat, especially emotionally. There are a lot of males out there strugging.
