The Fox News Rundown Evening Edition: Doctors Urge Men To Discuss Their Prostate Health
Nov 8, 2025
Dr. Jay Amin, a urologist with Orlando Health, emphasizes the importance of discussing prostate health, as many men traditionally avoid it. He reveals that over half of men over 50 experience urinary issues due to prostate enlargement. Dr. Amin introduces HOLEP, a new minimally invasive treatment that offers quicker recovery and lower retreatment rates compared to older methods. He also advises men to start screenings at 50, or 40 with family history, and stresses the need for clear communication with urologists about symptoms.
