Everyman’s Guide to the Prostate

Introducing your Prostate

This website started from documenting the prostate cancer journey of one person in the UK and has evolved into a plain man’s guide to the prostate.

That journey involved gathering information from many sources, filtering and interpreting it in an effort to understand what was happening. It has expanded to bring together those findings into a single reference source for all prostate-related information in an easy to read format.

This site is a mixture of questions and answers, information articles and blog posts of experiences. We want you to share your experiences too, so that others can benefit on what can sometimes be an uncertain and daunting journey.

Its aim is to provide information and support for both sufferers from prostate problems and their partners, who may also be confused and concerned.

A quick reassurance. You may be experiencing problems as you grow older such as urgency to pee and disturbed nights which may be associated with your prostate. Even though prostate cancer is the fastest growing cancer among men in the UK, it still affects only a very small percentage and your symptoms are probably benign. Even so, you should talk to your GP and get some basic checks done.

There are many useful and comprehensive resources available that don’t always dig into the actual process we go through, or address our questions and anxieties around a subject that still has some taboos for many. These resources are sometimes over-medical, sometimes overwhelming and often not UK-based so not directly relevant to the treatments we get here. Wiki Link
