Prostate health is a critical but often overlooked aspect of men’s wellness. At Blue Water Primary Care, we offer comprehensive, confidential prostate health services designed to detect problems early, monitor ongoing conditions, and help men make informed decisions about their health in a respectful, judgment-free environment.
The prostate is a small gland that plays an important role in male reproductive function, and it becomes increasingly susceptible to problems as men age. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — an enlargement of the prostate — affects the majority of men over 50 and can cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine stream, and nighttime urination. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, with over 200,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States.
Our prostate health services include PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood testing, digital rectal examination (DRE) for appropriate patients, evaluation and management of BPH symptoms, monitoring for patients with previously diagnosed prostate conditions, and coordination with urology specialists when further evaluation or intervention is needed.
