For the 2nd week of Prostate Cancer month, we have invited Dr Andrew Tan from Perth Urology Clinic to be our guest.  

Dr. Andrew will discuss the difference between Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) (enlargement) and Prostate Cancer. This is something many people get confused about. Something that we hear often is a man saying they were shocked to find out they had prostate cancer because they had no symptoms and likewise men present concern that they may have Prostate Cancer because the urination pattern has changed.  

To help me with this interrogation (as Dr Andrew calls it ;)) Nurse Practitioner Kendall from Restorative Sexual Health Clinic will join me. Kendall has many years experience working as a urology nurse so is equipped to ask the tricky questions.  

Topics of discussion will include:  

• What are the differences between BPH and Prostate Cancer  

We even talked about Bananas and the Prostate! If you're one of those who keeps Googling 'bananas and prostate', this week's episode might give you a better answer.  

Dr. Andrew also reiterates the importance of getting checked as early as possible, why having no symptoms is not reassuring, and that any food that's good for the heart is also good for your prostate.  

Have a great time listening to our week's info-packed episode. And if you have the time, make sure to jot down some notes and leave a review so we can help more people just like you.
