November and Movember? What do those two words have in common? Prevention and men's health education.

November, Movember, Moustache. These words combine to fight and educate for men's health.

MOvember = "MO" (derived from the word moustache) and november.

Movember is also the name of a charity organisation. It aims to raise awareness about men's health and diseases such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health and suicide prevention.

November - Men's Health Awareness and Prostate Disease Prevention Month.
Internationally known as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month - Movember.

Started by a few Australian men. Their idea gradually spread around the world.

And it is the beard that is the symbol of the Movember movement and also the idea of an international men's health month.

Together you can see both the moustache and the blue ribbon.

Of course, male "strength" has a broader base than just the prostate. But men do not like to descend into the depths of their intimacy. However, prevention and early detection of any health problem has its importance.

Prostate and testicular cancers are particularly mentioned in connection with Movember, as well as men's mental health.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. It is particularly dangerous because of its initially asymptomatic course.

Early diagnosis leads to a higher success rate of treatment.

That is why men after the age of 40 are recommended to have preventive examinations by a urologist.

However, it is also important to think about other male diseases.
