That waiting can feel strange, but it is also one of the best windows you will ever get to build your strength. Here is how to use it.Getting told you have prostate cancer is a jolt, and being told the plan is to watch it rather than treat it straight away can be a second, quieter one. Active surveillance is good news in most respects, it usually means the cancer i...

They do not have to be. Here is how getting fit beforehand, known as prehabilitation, can set you up for a better recovery.A prostate cancer diagnosis usually comes with a wait. There are scans to have, specialists to see, decisions to weigh, and then a date is set for surgery, radiation or hormone therapy. For a lot of blokes that gap is full of worry and not much else, a stretch of time spent sitt...

Here is a practical, no-nonsense guide to actually being useful.When a bloke you love gets a prostate cancer diagnosis, the ground shifts for the people around him too. Partners, kids, mates and mothers all feel it, and most of us respond with the same worry: I want to help, but I do not know what to say or do, and I am scared of getting it wrong. If that is you, take a breath. Supporting someone well is fa...

It can be highly effective, but it rarely arrives without side effects, and those side effects have a habit of showing up in ordinary daily life. Weight creeps on. Muscle softens. Energy drops away. Mood shifts. And somewhere in all of that, a man can start to feel less like himself. For some the change is gradual. For others it seems to land all at once.That is a hard thing to sit with, particularly for men who h...

It is not ordinary tiredness. It does not lift after a good sleep or a quiet weekend. Many men describe it as a heavy, drained, slowed-down feeling that affects strength, mood, motivation and the ability to enjoy normal life.The most effective response is often the opposite of what men expect. Rather than rest alone, the right kind of structured exercise has been shown to reduce ca...

The focus is often on the diagnosis itself, medical appointments, treatment decisions and managing immediate side effects. Yet for many men, especially those on androgen deprivation therapy, bone strength can become a very important part of the recovery and long-term health picture.Bones are living tissue. They are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. When this process is disrupted, bones can gr...

Even once surgery, radiation or hormone therapy is finished, the body can feel tight, sore and reluctant to move. Simple tasks like getting out of a chair, walking up stairs or rolling over in bed may feel harder than they used to.The good news is that this stiffness is not permanent. With the right kind of movement, guided by qualified professionals, it is often possib...

It is what happens afterwards. Bladder leaks, rushing to the toilet, or needing to plan every outing around bathroom access can feel frustrating, embarrassing and exhausting.The encouraging news is that continence can often improve. With the right guidance and consistent effort, many men reduce leakage and regain confidence in everyday life. Pelvic floor muscle training sits at the cent...

It’s not just about surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy - it’s the lingering fatigue, muscle loss, weight changes, and emotional lows that follow. But one form of movement is emerging as a powerful way to bounce back stronger: resistance training.At PROST!, we believe in rebuilding lives through evidence-based exercise.
