The Importance of Scheduled Visits Post-Prostate Op

So you think once you’ve got the gland out that you’ll never see your surgeon again? Visiting your urologist on a regular basis should be a crucial part of your life after prostate cancer treatment. Doctors will even set up appointments weekly during the first month, and then monthly during the 6 months periods, and finally ever three months for the rest of your life. What most men aren’t aware of is that they should visit their urologists even if they’re not suffering from any problems; a regular check up could actually decrease chances of overtime cancer growth going undetected. So make sure you mark those visits on your calendar and make that urologist’s appointment a regular in your life after prostate cancer treatment!
