June is a time to increase support and awareness in Men’s Health Month as well as Pride Month! Men of all ages and orientations, as well as people who have biologically male sexual organs need to ensure that their physical and mental health needs are being met. Did you know that among the transgender community, people who were born biologically male and transitioned to female may need a prostate exam or can still experience prostate enlargement (medically known as BPH)? People who posses male sexual organs such as the prostate, even if they don’t identify with a male gender, are still at risk for developing BPH in older age. BPH may cause frequent urination, slow or poor urinary flow, straining, dribbling and sexual dysfunction.
This year, although we are facing a global pandemic, the message of men’s health in the month of June can still be shared with you online and with loved ones.
With Father’s Day also coming up, remember to show the dads in your life that you love them and that their health matters.
