Guy Advice-Prostate Exams



 Nice moustache..when's the last time you've had a prostate exam done?

Here’s November and let’s bring out the moustaches in support of prostate cancer awareness…right? Well let’s hope so.

I’m all for guys growing a certain kind of facial hair in support of an illness. But, I want to be clear that the most important thing about prostate cancer..is actually speaking about our prostates.

The moustache only goes half-way. And in some instances the point is completely lost. Breast cancer awareness deals with this also. The idea of “movember” is supposed to unify men in an awareness campaign against prostate cancer. But how many guys sporting staches this month have actually had a prostate exam? I’m willing to say a WHOLE bunch haven’t.

So while we may be raising money for charitable dontations towards cancer research. Let’s not forget that a huge part of prostate cancer related deaths are due to tumours growing untreated on a mans prostate. So instead of growing a moustache this month ( I grow a terrible one) I’m advocating men go get a physical done if they haven’t in the past couple of years.

It’s scary and I’ll admit it. I find cancer scary and I don’t give a fuck who you are..you find it scary to. It’s also very uncomfortable to have a doctor sticking their fingers up your butt. But a few moments of an uncomfortable feeling could save your life.

My little brother ( he’s going to hate me) has dealt with some butt issues in the past. Not cancer, but some painful stuff going on down there. He just got out of surgery last month. If my little brother can deal with getting surgery done on the inside of his ass..then we can all go get a prostate exam done.
