Men get worried that prostate cancers mean ED and incontinence when people hear it, probably more concerned about the topic around women or what it means in a relationship while some women are likely concerned with discussing breast cancer around men and believing men would not want them with a mastectomy or double mastectomy as men feel women may not want them. Any stigma their was regarding breast cancer with women appears gone and women today having all the benefits of reconstructive surgery that they did not have in the past possibly helps them as they process and navigate their cancer’s and treatment alternatives as we do. Men also have so many new approaches to the side effects than they had in the past but I think the stigma with men and ED and incontinence has a way to go where prostate becomes do discussed so openly as breast. Breast cancer awareness month is huge and the importance of mammograms and self checks is all over. It is not drilled into men the importance of PSA’s nor all over the importance of getting checked. What is all over is ED and all the different pills, medications and testosterone ways to get ready for that night which that is what the emphasis and everyone knows of not getting checked for prostate cancer.
