Doctor's advice:

• "Preventive care means taking responsibility for your health today to avoid problems tomorrow. I recommend visiting a urologist at least once a year—even if you have no symptoms. This approach allows us to catch issues early when they’re easiest to treat. Remember: paying attention to your body can save your life."
