Prioritizing Prostate Health: A Call to Early Screening

NR Meds • 9 September 2025

Prostate health is an important part of men’s overall wellbeing. In Ghana and across Africa, prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among men, yet it is also one of the most preventable through early detection.


Why Prostate Health Matters

The prostate gland, though small, plays a critical role in men’s reproductive health. As men age, the risk of prostate enlargement and cancer increases—particularly for those over 50, with a family history, or of African descent. Unfortunately, many men delay seeking care until symptoms are advanced.


The Importance of Early Detection

Timely screening through PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood tests and digital rectal examinations (DRE) can save lives. Early detection allows for less invasive treatment, faster recovery, and better health outcomes.


Supporting Care with the Right Supplies

Beyond screening, effective prostate health management often requires medical supplies such as:

- Intermittent Self-Catheters: Vital for men who experience urinary retention, which can be a complication of prostate enlargement or cancer treatment. These catheters enable safe, hygienic, and independent bladder management.

- Medical Gels: Sterile water-based gels like our Optilube range, ensures comfort, safety, and reduced infection risk during catheterisation, examinations, and urological procedures.


Having access to these supplies supports both patients and healthcare providers in maintaining dignity, comfort, and safety during treatment.


Building Stronger Healthcare in Ghana

The availability of high-quality intermittent catheters, gels, and other urology consumables through dependable distribution networks ensures that hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies are well-equipped to support men’s health. Reliable supply chains translate directly into improved outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.


💡 Your health is your strength. Make prostate screening a priority and ask your healthcare provider about the best products to support your care.
