This is a program for the NPAJ and there are a lot of booths in Reruai.
00:09
In Reruai, the NPAJ works with KPJ, Ambang Puteri, and they focus on men's health.
00:17
When it comes to men's health, especially men over the age of 40, they focus on prostate health.
00:24
We have a free trial from Dr. Tam, who is a specialist.
00:32
I chose this particular awareness because it is specific to one segment of society,
00:39
which is men over the age of 40.
00:43
In this group, my awareness is very low.
00:47
When I turned 40, my wife told me to do research on prostate health.
00:56
So I took care of it.
00:59
But not everyone is like that.
01:01
Sometimes men don't like to maintain their health.
01:07
When it gets worse, we...
01:10
Prevention is better than cure.
01:12
When we try to promote this culture, especially in Malaysia, we go to the elderly.
01:17
If you ask a doctor, they will tell you that people are depressed,
01:20
they feel like a suicidal person.
01:23
Because it involves men's health.
01:25
Specific diseases to women's organs also affect psychologically.
01:29
So we have to pay attention, we have to raise awareness.
01:33
Actually, to be honest, most of these prostate cancers are asymptomatic.
01:38
This is why the early detection is very important.
01:41
But of course, there are some symptoms and signs that are closely related to the swollen or enlarged prostate.
01:49
Like urgency, frequency.
01:51
Some of the worst cases are incontinence and recurrent infections.
01:57
These are the few signs.
01:59
But they happen very subtle.
02:01
It is not very visible.
02:04
So when it is so subtle, most of the men think that this is part of their ageing process.
02:11
Of course, the prevention strategy is healthy lifestyles.
02:15
Healthy lifestyles like a balanced diet, high in fibers.
02:20
And frequent exercise, control of diabetes.
02:25
I mean the cholesterol control.
02:29
These are some of the ways that we can do to reduce the risk of getting highly prostate cancer.
02:36
But if that prevention is not working, then the next step will be early detection.
