Former Nigerian senator and activist, Shehu Sani, has expressed concern over the rising cases of prostate cancer among men in their 40s. He took to social media to highlight the issue, sparking discussions on the need for increased awareness, early screening, and better healthcare policies.

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in men, and experts warn that African men, in particular, face a higher risk due to genetic and lifestyle factors. Many health professionals recommend routine medical checkups, including Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) tests, to detect the disease early and improve survival rates.

Sani’s statement has fueled conversations among Nigerians, with many calling for improved healthcare infrastructure and awareness campaigns. Some citizens have also raised concerns about environmental and dietary factors that may contribute to the rising number of cases. Others have pointed out that stress, lack of proper medical attention, and limited access to affordable healthcare could be worsening the situation.

Medical experts advise men over 40 to adopt healthier lifestyles by maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and reducing alcohol consumption to lower their risk. They also emphasize the importance of regular medical checkups for early detection.
