Do you know when you should get screened for prostate cancer? Typically, guidelines depend on your age and risk level. Here’s what doctors recommend: 🩺 Age 50+: Talk with your provider about a PSA blood test. 🩺 Age 45+: Men over the age of 45 who are African American or who have a close relative diagnosed before age 65 are considered high-risk for their age and should discuss screening earlier than most. 🩺 Age 40+: If you have multiple family members who were affected at an early age, consider an even earlier conversation as you may be at even higher risk for your age group. 📈 Risk factors like age, family history, and race all play a role. The best next step is an open discussion with your doctor about what’s right for you. A few minutes talking with your provider could help protect your long-term health.
