THIS week marks Men\u2019s Health Week and Lake Imaging are helping to raise awareness around the importance of males taking a proactive approach to their health.<\/p>\n

The leading cause of death for Australian men is cardiovascular disease, with around 57,000 heart attacks reported each year.<\/p>\n

Many other life-threatening medical conditions that can often be prevented include prostate cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s\/dementia, stroke, and other cancers.<\/p>\n

Radiology plays an important role when it comes to early detection and diagnosis, and with advancements in medical imaging technology, Lake Imaging is committed to supporting men\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

We give thanks to one of our recent patients, who is helping to spread awareness by sharing his recent experience with prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy message to all the grandfathers, fathers, sons and families of men out there is to take action now.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t wait. I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. Through the encouragement of my wife, I went on to get an ultrasound and MRI after initial blood tests showed an inconclusive result.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy ultrasound and MRI only took a couple of hours out of my day, however allowed for an accurate diagnosis followed by treatment, and today I am cancer free.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage all men out there to see your GP regularly, attend your screening or medical imaging appointments and to take any symptoms you have seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know only too well that the earlier a medical condition can be picked up, the greater the opportunity for a more favourable outcome. Don\u2019t wait and act today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Following a prostate cancer diagnosis a Lake Imaging patient is calling on all men not to wait until it\u2019s too late.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The compassionate team at Lake Imaging are committed to delivering a comprehensive medical imaging service to the broader Ballarat community.<\/p>\n

We encourage all the grandfathers, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, and nephews, to take a proactive approach to health and speak to your GP about screening or medical imaging available to you.<\/p>\n
