Fun With Your Prostate
Getting men to pay attention to their own health isn't easy. When given the chance to read Maxim or schedule a prostate gland exam with the doc (yup, it's the one with the finger up the butt), I think we all know which is more appealing to the dudes. A few different organizations are wisely using things that men love -- drinking beer and growing mustaches, namely -- to get them thinking about screening this very important male gland. Pints for Prostates uses the glory of hops to get men to think about getting screened. Some recent studies that swigging beer is actually good for your prostate will prolly help their cause as well! Movember Australia also focuses on prostate health, and raises awareness by getting the gents to grow a moustache in November (Australia's men's health month, American prostate health month is in September). So even though it's months away, our prostate stopped shaving and donned a nice 'stache in honor of this awesome organization.
This reminds me of a book my husband recently picked up called “To Pee Or Not To Pee…” by James R. Norris. It’s all about prostate health and is pretty blunt but also pretty humorous. My husband had us both laughing as he read choice parts from the book. More importantly, it contains everything one need to know about their prostate and encourages regular check ups. http://www.prostateandcancer.com/
