各位朋友，每年的九月份是北美洲的前列腺癌關注月！
請大家留意資訊保持自己的身心健康，也可以幫助親友面對以下疾病。
所有年齡男仕都會經歷過前列腺發炎(Prostatitis)；50歲以上可能會患上良性前列腺肥大症(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, BPH or Benign Prostate Enlargement, BPE)，影响排尿，睡眠和性生活，請立刻約見家庭醫生。
每八個加拿大男人更會有一個遇上前列腺癌(Prostate Cancer)，初期是毫無徵狀的，當這個疾病發展至中後期才會有類似以上兩種良性疾病的徵狀。
如要在早期診斷前列腺癌並獲得適當護理，就必需在50歲開始由家庭醫生每年探肛檢查(DRE)，並每5年抽血測試前列腺特異抗原(PSA)。
若要瞭解前列腺的變化，可免費下載閱讀這書(Understanding Prostate Changes)的中文版。或到我們網站(www.ChineseProstate.com)查看有關資訊。
當你的針刺活組織檢查(Biopsy)確診前列腺癌時，請立刻與溫哥華沿岸衛生局的 Prostate Cancer Supportive Care Program (PCSC) 聯絡，參加面談或小組(可要求免費國粵語翻譯)，以瞭解各種不同的治療方法和如何減輕隨之而來的副作用。

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in North America!
Please pay attention to the information to maintain your physical and mental health, and you can also help your relatives and friends to face the following diseases.
Men of all ages experience Prostatitis; over 50 may develop Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH or Enlargement), which affects urination, sleep and sexual life. Please make an appointment with your family doctor as soon as possible.
One out of every eight Canadian men will have Prostate Cancer, which is asymptomatic in the early stage. It will develop symptoms similar to the above two benign diseases when the disease develops to the middle and late stages.
To diagnose prostate cancer early and receive proper care, annual Digital Rectal Examinations (DRE) starting at age 50 by a family doctor and blood tests for Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) every 5 years are necessary.
To understand changes in the prostate, you can download and read the book Understanding Prostate Changes for free. For the Chinese version of this book and relevant information, please visit our website www.ChineseProstate.com.
When you have a Biopsy diagnosis of prostate cancer, contact Vancouver Coastal Health's Prostate Cancer Supportive Care Program (PCSC) immediately for an interview or group meeting (free Chinese translation available on request) to learn about the different treatments and how to treat the side effects that come with it.
