In this special National Men’s Health Month edition of “North
Oaks Health Notes” on Tangi 96.5 FM, host Johnny Chauvin and
Urologist Brad Lake, MD,with
North Oaks Physician Group’s
Northshore Urological Associates, talk about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of an
enlarged prostate.
They also talk about how North Oaks is partnering with Boston Scientific
to offer a
free seminar
this month to encourage men to “man up” and seek regular medical
advice and preventive services to end needless suffering from treatable
health conditions.
Women are 100 percent more likely to visit the doctor for annual examinations
and preventive services than men, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. This results in men living sicker and dying younger
than women in the US. National Men’s Health Month is celebrated
each June as a time to heighten awareness of preventable health problems
and encourage early detection and treatment.
