Prostate trouble?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Prostate UK is trying to raise awareness about benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland which affect around 3.2 million men in the UK.
There are two main objectives to the awareness campaign: The first is to encourage men to seek medical advice for unexplained urinary symptoms, rather than suffering in silence. The second is to ensure that where appropriate, BPH is managed by GPs in the primary care setting in order to treat it earlier and minimise costly surgical interventions.
The above video, narrated by ‘This Morning’ GP Dr Chris Steele, describes the problem of BPH and hears from sufferers. Click on the image to launch.
