Men's Prostate Health Check-up Plan

HK$2,695

Prostate cancer is one of the top three common cancers among men in Hong Kong. In the early stages, patients may not experience any symptoms, so they may not be aware if they have prostate cancer. Even in the absence of any symptoms of urethral obstruction, it is recommended for men to undergo prostate cancer screening as a preventive measure.

**Symptoms of Prostate Cancer**

The symptoms of prostate cancer are very similar to those of prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia), making it necessary for a doctor to conduct examinations for an accurate diagnosis. Since early-stage prostate cancer often shows no obvious signs, regular check-ups are crucial. If the tumor grows larger or begins to metastasize, it may cause one or more of the following symptoms. If any of these signs appear, appropriate screening should be undertaken promptly:

– Frequent urination, especially during the night.
– Difficulty urinating, struggling to pass urine for extended periods.
– Pain or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation.
– Blood in the urine or semen.
– Pain or stiffness if cancer spreads to the bones, pelvis, or spine; patients may also experience fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

**Causes of Prostate Cancer**

Although the exact cause of prostate cancer is not yet fully understood, the following factors may increase the risk:

– **Age:** Two-thirds of prostate cancer cases occur in men aged 65 and older, while cases in men under 50 are extremely rare.
– **Race and Diet:** Men in Western countries have a higher risk compared to Asian men. Data suggest that traditional Western high-fat diets may increase the risk, which also helps explain why diseases like breast cancer and colorectal cancer have been increasingly common in Hong Kong in recent years.
– **Prolonged Lack of Exercise:** In addition to its cancer-preventing benefits, recent studies indicate that exercise may also slow the progression of prostate cancer in patients.
– **Family History:** Having a close relative, such as a father or brother, who has had prostate cancer may double the risk.

FAQ

PSA (Prostate-specific antigen), is a protein secreted by prostate cells. PSA is mainly found in prostate tissue and prostate fluid, and its function is to assist in the dilution of fluid and the activity of sperm. PSA levels are often used as an indicator of prostate disease, especially prostate cancer screening.

The normal value of PSA in men’s blood is between 2.5 and 4.0 ng/mL. However, the normal PSA index of 4.0 ng/mL is not necessarily applicable to men of all ages. The older you are, the higher the standard PSA value will be. The standard level of PSA for 40 to 49 years old is set at 2.5 ng/ml; the normal value of PSA for 70 years old is set at 6.5 ng/ml.

There are also cases that will increase the PSA value. If a man suffers from cystourethritis, prostatitis, or has a catheter placed, or has recently undergone a cystoscopy, the level of prostate-specific antigen will increase.

Common health concerns in men include heart disease, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Physical examinations for men generally include: routine blood test, test for blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, hepatitis test, electrocardiogram, chest and abdominal X-ray, faecal occult blood test, tumor markers for pancreatic, nasopharyngeal and prostate cancer, sonography, thyroid function screening, etc. These tests could help to assess top health risks for men, in particular colon cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, coronary heart disease, liver cirrhosis. Consider STD screening, fertility hormone and sexual health screening such as HPV DNA, syphilis spirochetes, HIV antibodies and antigens and testosterone if required, for a better preparation for marriage and childbirth.

Unlike many other cancers, prostate cancer usually spreads very slowly. It may take up to 15 years for the cancer to spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body, usually the bones.

Approximately 90% of prostate cancers are found at the localized and regional stages, prostate cancer has a very high cure rate—nearly 100% of men diagnosed at this stage will be disease-free after 5 years.
