Men Tend To Shy Away From Prostate and Colon Checks

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – They aren’t always the most comfortable conversations for older men.

But as Dr. Vashti Darling of Doctor’s Hospital and I discuss, these are the realities for men 40 and above. 

As men age the prostate becomes more and more of an area to watch as it is that place in our bodies where so many possible health problems begin. 

The best defense is of course is early detection.

But given the nature of the prostate checks and even a simple colon screening, men tend to shy away. So guys, the next time you tell yourself “I’m fine”, go get a second opinion from your physician.
