Happy Movember! No, that’s not a spelling error. Movember has been celebrated each November since 2003 to bring awareness (and funding) to men’s health issues, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.

To highlight this month, we interviewed two experts at the University of Colorado School of Medicine Division of Urology to learn the basics of men’s health from a urology perspective, as well as what men can do to protect themselves against some of the most serious men’s health issues.

David Sobel, MD, is a senior instructor of urology who practices at CU Medicine Urology South Denver in Highlands Ranch and UCHealth Surgical Care - Highlands Ranch Hospital, and John Dodge, PA, is an instructor of urology offering clinical care at the Urology & Urodynamics Clinic - Anschutz and the UCHealth Tony Grampsas Urologic Cancer Care Clinic - Anschutz Medical Campus.
