September is observed globally as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about prostate health and encouraging early detection of prostate cancer. Dr. Arjun Singh Shekhawat (Gold Medalist, Urologist & Andrologist, Iconix Hospital, Jaipur) emphasized: “The challenge with prostate cancer is that early symptoms often resemble common prostate issues. However, with timely screening, especially the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test, early detection can increase the five-year survival rate to over 95%.” In line with this, Iconix Hospital, under the initiative “Serve to Society” and in collaboration with NGO Harsh Foundation, is conducting FREE PSA tests for all elderly men throughout September. This campaign aims to ensure early identification of any potential prostatic malignancy and to promote proactive healthcare among men.

calender September 9, 2025

Introduction

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, especially after the age of 50. Early detection and timely treatment can save lives and improve quality of life. At Iconix Hospital, Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur, Dr. Arjun Singh Shekhawat – a renowned Urologist, Andrologist, and Uro-Oncologist – is committed to spreading awareness about prostate health and providing advanced treatment solutions.


What is Prostate Cancer?

The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in this gland. In many cases, the cancer grows slowly, but in some, it can spread quickly if not diagnosed early.


Signs & Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

Many men ignore early symptoms, mistaking them for age-related issues. Dr. Arjun Singh Shekhawat highlights the key warning signs:

  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow
  • Blood in urine or semen
  • Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis
  • Erectile dysfunction

👉 If you experience these symptoms, consult a urology specialist in Jaipur without delay.


Risk Factors of Prostate Cancer

  • Age above 50 years
  • Family history of prostate or breast cancer
  • Obesity and unhealthy lifestyle
  • High-fat diet and lack of physical activity

Importance of Early Detection

According to Dr. Arjun Singh Shekhawat, early detection of prostate cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
