Allow Us to Be Blunt About the Controversy Over the PSA Test: Men Can Get It To Know Something, Or Skip It To Know Nothing.




Why Don't All Docs Test All Men? Our campaign aims to be blunt about some of our positions. We believe that if a doctor is not following the American Urological Association recommendations about the PSA test, then he or she might be just going through the motions like a puppet. There is controversy in the healthcare industry about the PSA test (search Newsweek.com for "Prostate Cancer's Difficult Choices" to learn more). Our view for you and other men? The controversy should have nothing to do with what you must do for your own best health: Get tested!


Gotta Go Too Often? If your sleep is interrupted by trips to the bathroom or you run to the john more often than other guys your age, you could have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia or BHP. Check out the oddly named, but really nifty, TUNA Therapy by clicking here.

Cowards? Our campaign's research has found that some men avoid prostate check-ups because of the doctor's Digital Rectal Exam (DRE). But it's only step one in the process, yet necessary. And avoiding the procedure - which lasts only a few seconds and is a breeze - is cowardly.

Yikes! Devices! This original old magazine cover had the woman shooting the fellow with a gun. We put new devices in her hand and the other chap's. Why? Our research found that men squirm at the thought of modern medicine's devices probing them for clues to prostate health. With our technique of overblowing reality, our message is that there is little discomfort in these important procedures.
