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.

A belated, but sincere thank you for assisting me with my meds when I had a recent infection. It is very reassuring to know that you are there for me in times of medical need. — RS

This letter should have been written years ago but is just as heartfelt today as when you first took me as a high risk prostate cancer patient. I thank you for being sincerely sympathetic to my condition and treating me in a very warm and humane manner. I appreciate, now and then, how you were very open, honest and thorough in your explanations of my condition, prognosis and possible side effects. I felt as if I could have been your only patient. I feel fortunate to have you as my urologist. My wife, and I truly appreciate the expert, capable, warm, and empathetic manner in which I was treated and our neighbor before me. Thank you very much! I will continue keeping my appointments with you and wish you the best. — BH

Thank you for taking wonderful care of me. The highlight of my hospital stay was when you would come to my door. You were so kind and caring and “forgiving” when I fought you. Every patient who has you for their doctor is blessed. Thank you for the huge difference you made in my life. — EK

I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for me — from getting my surgery date moved up to taking the time to answer every question and concern that we had. The last two months have been a whirlwind, and I am thankful that you have been my doctor through the whole process!

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you my dear grandmother has passed away. She was a fighter until her last breath for sure. So for you and your team, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. Your guidance and support and kindness did not go unnoticed during her journey. Especially when you were helping with getting her the Hospice care she needed. This was by far the hardest thing I have experienced in life but at the same time you always put a smile on her face even at the worst times. Thanks for being a special person and doctor.
