One in seven males can expect to suffer with a problem with their prostate by age 40, the most common being benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. However prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of mortality for males in Australia today. Despite these health issues being exceedingly common they remain chronically under-recognised and in some cases, poorly managed. Today we are joined by Dr Mark Donohoe who expertly takes us through the quandry that is the prostate. Dr Donohoe discusses why, in a quest to deliver better screening and diagnosis it may have actually resulted in unnecessary over-treatment and invasive medical intervention. He also shares the simple, modifiable risk factors that everybody can benefit from.
