There are people in my family who have had prostate cancer and I am worried about getting prostate cancer too. At what age should I go for a check-up and what should I pay attention to?

Men with a family history of prostate cancer are generally at higher risk. The recommended age for prostate cancer screening is generally 50, but it may be earlier for people with a family history of prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that men with a family history of prostate cancer talk to their doctor about screening in their late 40s. However, because each person's situation is different, it is important to talk to your doctor about your personal risk factors and the best time to start screening.
General lifestyle changes that can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. Early signs of prostate cancer are often subtle or asymptomatic, but in some cases, early symptoms can cause symptoms such as difficulty urinating, changes in urine flow, or pelvic pain.
It is important to see a urologist to get the most accurate information and guidance about checkups. A urologist can evaluate your family history and other risk factors and recommend a personalized screening plan.
