Men can find out more about the disease at Noble's Hospital
Men on the Isle of Man are being urged to find out more about the symptoms of prostate cancer.

As part of Prostate Cancer Awareness next week, a display has been set up at Noble's Hospital to generate a greater awareness of the disease.

Leaflets will also be handed out at the hospital in Braddan.

Prostate cancer is increasingly common and the risk of developing the disease increases with age, with 90% of sufferers aged over 65.

Symptoms can include difficulty in urinating and needing to go to the toilet more often.
