Ghanaian Urologist Warns Against Using Sex as Prostate Cancer Prevention

A Ghanaian urologist warned against using sex as a method to prevent prostate cancer, citing established risk factors such as age, family history, and obesity. The warning came as part of broader public health messaging about prostate cancer detection and treatment. The urologist also emphasized that prostate cancer often shows no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage.

The urologist, whose name was not specified in the report, issued the warning through the Ghana News Agency, which published multiple related articles on the same day. The message was accompanied by clarification that a high PSA result does not automatically indicate cancer, a point also made by a laboratory expert cited in the same report. The urologist explicitly cautioned against prescribing sex as a preventive measure, emphasizing that such claims lack scientific basis.
