Absolutely Roger. The publicity drive to encourage men to be prostate aware is lost in the fog of NHS v government so doesn't get the media attention it should.

Your GP is expecting you and meanwhile, the pros and cons of population profile or age screening is forever debated. (Not quite as clear cut as you think. Age and lifestyle aren't trigger factors in the same way other medical conditions can indicate.)

Basically, how often do you pee, compared with a couple of years ago? Sexual activity? Both with co pilot or flying solo. Without recourse to my usual crudeness, the more you stimulate the prostate to release fluid, the happier and less prone to issues it is. You can understand that screening a population would infer knowledge of sex life and toilet habits. Only we ourselves can answer that and present for GP consultation.

Awareness is the answer.. Nips issues in the bud. Also, an enlarged prostate is not necessarily a cancer, they tend to enlarge slightly with age anyway, a bit like ears.
