A Routine Test That Saved a Life: Why Every Man Should Check His Prostate

Still on the prostate matter, let’s talk about something real — something that could save a life.

One morning, on my way to work, I decided to stop by the home of one of our long-time clients, a dear elderly man we fondly call Daddy. Out of genuine care and appreciation for how kind he’s always been, I casually said,

“Daddy, can I run some tests for you today?”

He smiled and agreed. It wasn’t because he complained of any illness — he was strong, cheerful, and full of life. But as a medical professional, I knew how important routine checks are, especially for men above 40.


The Test That Changed Everything

When I got to the lab, I ran a few basic tests — Kidney Function Test, Liver Function Test, and Uric Acid.

As I analyzed the results, something immediately caught my attention — his Creatinine level was extremely high. I was shocked. Without wasting time, I called him and explained what I found, urging him to visit his doctor for further investigation.

He did — and that phone call changed everything.

His doctor confirmed elevated creatinine levels, which indicated possible kidney strain. Further investigations revealed that his prostate was enlarged.

And to think of it — this was a man who had no symptoms, no pain, no complaint, nothing!


The Power of Early Detection

Imagine if I hadn’t offered to run those tests.
Imagine if he had waited until he started having symptoms like:

  • Difficulty urinating
  • Frequent urination at night
  • Fatigue or lower back pain

The story might have been very different.

That’s why we always say — don’t wait for the signs. Prostate enlargement and prostate cancer can stay silent for years, but with routine medical screening, they can be detected and treated early.
