November marks Movember, a global movement that has been raising awareness of men’s health for more than two decades, bringing together millions of people worldwide.
Recognised by the moustaches that become a symbol of support throughout the month, Movember encourages men to talk openly about their health, prioritise preventive check-ups and seek medical advice in a timely manner. The initiative began in Australia in 2003.
Prostate Cancer Can Be Successfully Treated
Movember is not just for men. Women also play an important role in raising awareness – partners, mothers, sisters and daughters often encourage the men in their lives not to postpone medical examinations and to pay greater attention to their health.
The movement focuses on three key areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
When detected early, prostate cancer can be successfully treated. Thanks to modern technology, both diagnostic procedures and surgical interventions have become more precise, reliable and safer, while patients benefit from faster recovery.
Robotic Surgery and Precise Prostate Diagnostics
The impact of modern technology on men’s health will also be the focus of an educational event at IMC Priora on 12 November, starting at 5:00 pm.The event is free and open to everyone interested.
IMC Priora was the first hospital in Croatia to perform prostate cancer surgery using the advanced da Vinci robotic system. During the event, our urologists will discuss da Vinci, as well as Mona Lisa – a robotic system for targeted prostate biopsies – and the Histolog Scanner.
To mark Movember, the month dedicated to raising awareness of men’s health, IMC Priora is offering a 30% discount on selected laboratory tests important for assessing prostate health.
The offer includes:
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
- proPSA
- Free Prostate-Specific Antigen (fPSA)
- PHI (Prostate Health Index)
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Let Movember be your reminder to prioritise your health and preventive check-ups.
