Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic starts free prostate screening for men

As part of activities marking 10 years of providing unparalleled healthcare to Ghanaians home and abroad, Ghana’s leading homeopathic center, Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic, is offering free prostate screening for men at all its branches in Accra, Tema, Kumasi, Takoradi and Techiman.

Globally, prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of deaths in black men. It usually develops slowly and therefore there may be no signs for many years.

This means that, symptoms of prostate cancer do not usually appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra).

According to the Dr Adu Boateng, the CEO of Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic, when the above happens, “the affected person may notice things like: an increased need to pee, straining while you pee and a feeling that your bladder has not fully emptied.”

While the above do not mean a person has prostate cancer, these symptoms should not be ignored as their presence would likely be caused by something else, such as prostate enlargement—which can be treated if detected early.

If prostate cancer breaks out of the prostate (locally advanced prostate cancer) or spreads to other parts of the body (advanced prostate cancer), it can cause back pain, hip pain or pelvis pain, problems getting or keeping an erection, blood in the urine or semen and unexplained weight loss, Dr Adu Boateng added during a telephone interview.

As a result of prostate cancer being a leading cause of deaths in men, especially black men, there is the special need for all men to regularly screen themselves--and this is why Endpoint Homeopathic Clinic is offering free prostrate screening from January 2020 to the end of February 2020 across all its branches to help reduce prostrate related deaths.

The free screening covers all prostate related problems such as Prostatitis, Prostate Enlargement and Prostate abscesses.
