September is a big month for men and men’s health, and 2019 is no different.
Are you or someone you know reluctant to get prostate health support? We at SunJour Healthcare want to tell you that it’s time to remove the stigma of going to the urologist or talking to someone you trust. In order to encourage men to get their prostate checked, some clinics and health fairs have resources to provide prostate care (some for free) this month. You may have concerns about screening so it is best to speak with your urologist or get a second opinion if you are still uncertain. Educating oneself on the topic is important, and be sure to ascertain that the sources you are looking at are providing accurate information and avoid harmful misinformation. Men have different treatments that worked or didn’t work for them, so it’s important to see the side effect profiles of any treatment options if you are diagnosed with a prostatic condition or disease.
Support groups are a great contributor to holistic treatment of men's health and even for preventative care. Although there’s the old stereotype that men don’t talk about their feelings, it can be very beneficial to talk about your fears, hopes, accomplishments, unpleasant episodes or pain points. You may be able to dismantle some preconceived notions when surrounded by positive people. You can find communities online and offline for men’s health support. Like a pair of shoes, it’s not guaranteed that one group will fit, but rather than go barefoot and be alone, try another group where you may feel more comfortable.

Know that it’s not always going to be as serious as going on medication or undergoing surgery, because it depends on how mild or severe the symptoms are. What you should note, though, is that a positive change in lifestyle and natural options can be viable forms of complimentary treatment when there is enough scientific evidence. Your friends might even give you recommendations from word of mouth, but as with everything, instead of impulsively jumping to your shopping cart, give yourself the knowledge about the steps you take and weigh the pros and cons.
We hope you can join in on the conversation about raising awareness about the prostate in 2019. What steps will you take to spread awareness for yourself and others?
