Key facts
Men’s health: the essentials
Simple guidance to understand screening and know when to see a doctor.
Screening
To be discussed with your doctor from age 50, and from 45 with a family history or African origin. It relies on a PSA test (a simple blood test) and, if needed, a clinical exam.
Signs to report
Difficulty or frequent need to urinate, especially at night, a weak stream, blood in the urine or semen, lower back pain: see a doctor.
Testicular cancer
It mainly affects young men aged 15 to 35. Regular self-examination helps spot a lump or discomfort: it is highly curable when caught early.
Mental health
Stress, fatigue, isolation: talking to a loved one, a colleague or a professional is not a weakness. It is the first step towards feeling better.
Good habits
Move for at least 30 minutes a day, eat a balanced diet, limit alcohol, quit tobacco and have regular check-ups.

A word from the Management
Libreville, 1 November 2026
Dear colleagues,
This Blue November 2026, EIT Group is taking action for men’s health.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and it often causes no symptoms at first. Talking to a doctor at the right age allows it to be detected early and treated better. Taking care of one’s mental health is also part of these good habits.
We encourage every man to take the step, and every woman to talk about it with the men who matter to her. Thank you for your support.
