Doctors advise men not to ‘fear the finger’

Their rallying cry has been “Don’t fear the finger.”

Advocates of prostate health continue to promote the dreaded, but necessary, prostate exam.

The doctors at Urology of Central PA want men to be as diligent with that test as women generally are about breast cancer exams.

Vasectomies Are Easy, Affordable Option For Birth Control

The pill. The patch. The sponge. The ring. The tube-tying.

Most contraceptive choices revolve around women. This approach to pregnancy prevention is reflected in a recent Harris poll, in which nearly three out of four women said men cannot be counted on to choose a birth control method. Men agreed in almost equal numbers.

But while male birth control drugs are still a prescription for the future, men do have a surgical option to prevent pregnancy. Proponents laud vasectomies as affordable, painless and 99.9 percent effective.

“I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who assisted in my surgery. You guys are always so kind and put me at ease. It means a lot to have providers who take such good care of you. I also want to thank Dr. Jones for talking me through the anesthesia and reassuring me it wouldn’t have any toll with my seizures. It really put me at EASE! Thank you to Taylor, Katie and Tash who were so kind and easy to talk to so early in the morning. And obviously, thank you Dr. Boline for taking such good care of me. You all are the best! PS-Thank you for being so cautious during Covid 19!” AW

“I had the pleasure of being a patient at the Camp Hill office. I wanted to pass on a compliment regarding the staff. Everyone I encountered from the time I entered until I left was very attentive and caring. I just called the office as well to verify my follow up appointment and the person I spoke to was also very pleasant and helpful. It is obvious they enjoy their job and you have the right people working for you.”-AB

"I want to thank you and the staff at UCPA for the safe experience I had to receive my firmagon injection. Of course, I had on my mask, but I was surprised that my appt. was rescheduled so that NO ONE else was present in the waiting room…it was reassuring, plus all the other things that were done to keep us safe. Please pass this on to all. I believe the battle can be won against the scourges of Covid and Prostate Cancer with all your efforts. God bless and have a joyful Easter." - MH

“I will never forget nor compare my visit to your office. Your concerns as both a good person and surgeon are not found every day. I greatly appreciate your honest and in depth explanation of my condition. I’ve saved the drawing you did for us on the tissue bed covering. I have started systemic treatments and providing there are positive results will look to surgery after the cycle is complete. Again, I am grateful for your caring and thoroughness! I’ll never forgot not only a doctor, but genuinely good & honest person who went out of his way to work with someone in need.” B

"I've seen Dr. Owens for two years he's an awesome doctor, this time I had a fallow up with Dr. Prudencio Jr, and I'm always nervous to meet new doctors since I've had a bad experience with one but I can tell you he was so nice and listen to my questions they are both amazing at their job. All the nurses are so friendly and nice. Thank you to everyone at UCPA. – MW"
