Movember: what is it and why does it matter in 2025?
Movember was born to raise the visibility of men's health and promote action against prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. In 2025 it is still key: many men consult late, minimize symptoms and postpone check-ups. Movember 2025 men's health means moving from symbolic gesture to real prevention: check, consult and act in time.

Annual prostate check-up: more than an exam
Screening is not a formality; it is an opportunity for prevention and early detection. Starting at age 50 (or earlier if there is a history), we recommend an annual assessment that may include:
- Total and free PSA to assess prostate cancer risk.
- Digital rectal examination to identify changes in the gland.
- Renovesical and prostatic ultrasound to evaluate bladder, prostate and flow.
- Multiparametric resonance according to clinical indication.
These tests can detect early stage tumors and understand how prostate growth impacts your urination. If you are experiencing symptoms, book your evaluation at GUA.
Urinary symptoms that you should not normalize
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common and can compress the urethra. Warning signs:
- Weak or choppy stream
- Urge to urinate or leakage
- Nocturia (getting up several times a night)
- Feeling of incomplete emptying
Make an appointment.
Testicular self-examination in 3 steps
- Perform it after showering, with the scrotum relaxed.
- Explore each testicle with both hands, looking for hard nodules or changes in size/shape.
- If you notice something new, consult. Early detection improves results.

Andropause (androgen deficiency): signs and approach
Up to half of men aged 45-74 years may present compatible symptoms: fatigue, irritability, reduced sexual desire, sleep disturbances or loss of muscle mass. These are not "personal failures"; they are signs that deserve evaluation. Talking about it without shame is the first step to recover physical, emotional and sexual well-being. In consultation we evaluate clinical history, analytical and individualized treatment options.
Mental wellness: asking for help is also prevention
Mental health is part of men's health. Normalizing asking for help, exploring stress, insomnia or mood and referring to the right resources is key. At the Movember Foundation you'll find helpful support programs and guides. Remember: asking for help is prevention.
Opening up to talk: the true act of fortitude
Health does not improve with silence. Recognizing that something is wrong gives you control. Every consultation is an opportunity to build confidence, understand what the body is saying and act in time. At GUA we combine high precision diagnosis with close and personalized treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "Movember 2025 men's health" mean to me?
It is the annual reminder to prioritize your health: prostate examination, testicular self-examination, hormonal evaluation and mental wellness. If you live in Gran Canaria, ask for your appointment at GUA.
How often should I have my prostate checked?
From the age of 50, annually (earlier if there is a family history or urinary symptoms). PSA and digital rectal examination are complementary.
When should I consult for urinary symptoms?
If you notice weak stream, urgency, nocturia or incomplete emptying. Do not normalize. Schedule an evaluation to prevent complications.
Is andropause treatable?
There are options. The first step is a medical evaluation to decide the most appropriate approach for you.
