No1. Life Saving Prostate Cancer Awareness Program

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.

Frequent urination, especially at night
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
Weak or interrupted urine flow
Blood in urine or semen
