As Prostate Cancer Awareness month begins Barry Sheerman has been learning more about prostate disease in Huddersfield and what men can do to be aware of their own prostate health.

Around 20600 men in Kirklees are likely to suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Prostate cancer kills one man every hour in Britain. Early detection of a prostate disease vastly improves the chances of successful treatment so education of the public and of healthcare professionals is vital.

Amanda McLean, Chief Executive of Prostate UK said, 'One in two men will suffer from a prostate disease at some stage in their lives. We are very pleased that Barry Sheerman is helping to highlight the issue of prostate disease, especially during Prostate Cancer Awareness month. By increasing awareness we hope more men will understand the very simple steps they can take to find out about their own prostate health. Hopefully a wider understanding of the issues will put a stop to prostate disease ruining lives'.
