Blue November

The “Blue November” campaign, promoted by AMRIGS in partnership with SBURS, focuses on raising awareness among men about the importance of taking care of their own health and early diagnosis of prostate cancer. The initiative draws attention to the warning signs of the disease, which include changes in the urinary stream, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder or increased urinary frequency, and highlights that, in the early stages, prostate cancer can be asymptomatic, which reinforces the need for regular exams.

In addition to encouraging the search for exams and medical monitoring, the campaign promotes the adoption of healthy habits: a balanced diet, regular physical activity and body weight control appear as effective ways of reducing the risk of the disease. The campaign also seeks to break down cultural barriers and prejudices that make many men avoid preventive medicine.
