It cannot be emphasised enough as a routine rather than wait for the symptoms even then it may just be enlarged and benign. Get the check.

I saw that yesterday. It sounds as though it was in the past but what surprised me was the comments towards the end of the article about regular PSA testing.
The 62-year-old said: "I've had prostate cancer, I've had my prostate out.
"Not many people know and it’s a bit of a taboo subject because we support women with breast cancer and it's not even an issue.
"Whereas with men, the government say, 'Yeah, prostate cancer, we need more awareness, we need people to come forward and in black men it’s more prevalent'.
Men have to then bite the bullet and swallow their pride and admit if they have problems and say it."
He was speaking after fellow Liverpool icon Kenny Dalglish announced his own cancer diagnosis on Tuesday (June 3), while Kevin Keegan said on Monday (June 1) that he has been diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer.
Barnes went on to say: "I’m fine. I have my PSA and everything is OK.
"The thing about it is that a lot of men don’t want to admit it or want to have it done because it makes them feel less than a man.
"But you're not, you're exactly the same, you're the same person and you’re around and that’s the main thing." Come in she said I'll give ya, shelter from the storm.

The bit that I am referring to is the bit that you missed out.
Barnes’ diagnosis follows an invite for all black men between the ages of 45 and 74 to take part in a prostate cancer screening trial.
He said the government initiative was a “good thing” as the risk “in African-Caribbean and black men, it’s probably higher.”
The move is despite a recent recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee that most men shouldn’t be offered regular testing for the disease.
The committee stated that the harms of the PSA blood test – including difficulty controlling your bladder or having an erection – outweigh the benefits.
Every year 64,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK and 12,000 men die, making it the most common cancer for men.
While one in eight men will be diagnosed in their lifetime, for black men this risk doubles to one in four.
The government has pledged £18million to the Transform Trial to allow more black men to be invited to take part.
The rest is a report (probably AI generated) on his career details.
Thanks. One in eight is a huge figure and one in four for black men is incredible. Yet it is not thought worthwhile to check everyone. Come in she said I'll give ya, shelter from the storm.

They are saying that the effects of a PSA test outweigh the benefits. I found it surprising.
A tip for you - if you find that you can't open a link because it is paywalled (I don't think this one is), try putting a full stop after UK in the address.
I'm probably being thick, but (trying on phone) every time I slide the address along to the UK bit,, as soon as I tap to put the full stop, it jumps to end of address.
Thanks for suggesting anyway. Will try computer tomorrow. Come in she said I'll give ya, shelter from the storm.

Often uk is at the end of a line - if so, put the full stop in before the start of the next line.
Don't wait to have symptoms - I had none but still had prostate cancer. Luckily they caught it just in time; had the prostate removed last year and the surgeon told us afterwards the cancer had reached the outside of the prostate but went no further.
All because I had a blood test after I turned 60 as part of the 'You're over sixty so it's time for another MOT health check' that the NHS do.
