When and Why You Should Get Your Prostate Checked

Are you over 45 or 50 years old? It’s time to start thinking about your prostate health. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and often shows no symptoms in its early stages. Regular check-ups can make the difference between early detection and a late diagnosis.

At Arzoz Urologia (Girona), we explain when and why you should have your prostate checked, what tests are involved, and how we can help you take care of your health with confidence and peace of mind.

Why Is It So Important to Check the Prostate?

Early detection can make the difference between a minimally invasive treatment and a more complex intervention.

When Should You Get a Prostate Check?

– From age 50 if there’s no family history
– From age 45 if there is a family history of prostate cancer
– At any age if you experience symptoms such as difficulty urinating, changes in flow, blood in urine, or pelvic pain

What Tests Are Done During a Prostate Check?

– Physical examination and medical history
– PSA blood test (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
– Urological ultrasound
– Multiparametric MRI (if needed)
– Targeted prostate biopsy (in suspicious cases)

What If an Abnormality Is Found?

An abnormal result doesn’t always mean cancer. It could be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or inflammation. In any case, the most important thing is to have a clear diagnosis to act safely and confidently.
