June is Men’s Health Month. Across the country many organizations are celebrating and spreading awareness with screenings, health fairs and other education related to men’s health and wellness. Here are 7 things men need to know.
1. More younger men are being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer
The number of younger men diagnosed with prostate cancer has increased nearly six-fold in the last twenty years. Today, over 10 percent of new prostate cancer diagnoses in the U.S. occur in men younger than 55 years old. What’s more alarming is that for younger men, the disease is often much more aggressive. Prostate cancer typically affects men in their 60s, 70s and older, and is often slow-growing. For this reason, older men are likely to die of causes other than prostate cancer, even if they ave the disease. But when younger men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, it is likely because they have developed a tumor that is growing quickly and aggressively.
