World Prostate Cancer Day: “From the age of 50 men have to go to the urologist once a year”

HGetting reviews is one of the most important things one can do. When you are old you should have medical exams such as the prostate exam.

When I was a runner, I did analytics. Every two weeks he had a complete blood test to prevent disease or anemia. I consider that today it is still an important part for me to go for a check-up, because the years go by and prevention is always cure.

Men, when we are over 50 years old, an annual check-up at the urologist I think is something we should all do. It is good that we get activated about this, as women with breast cancer have done.

After all, many of us have friends who have gone through prostate cancer and have that rage of saying: ‘I should have come years ago and this would have been resolved without problems.’

There are things that do not warn and you have to be constant when going to these reviews. I am in that struggle that I have to be aware that, at my age, even if I feel that the body is fine, I must do some check-ups to prevent and not have to regret later.

You realize that living to 100 years is lucky if you are healthy, but you have to be aware that turning a year can turn you into a magnet for diseases, for physical and cognitive imbalances. But the fact is that we are all partly to blame if things don’t go well afterwards.

To have a long and healthy life you have to go to these types of reviews. I don’t set an expiration date like my father did, but I believe that I will live many years and I hope to live them with health always.
