Talking about these issues and seeing a specialist are the necessary steps to below-the-belt health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To start those hairy conversations, Jamestown Regional Medical Center is holding a #GROWvember beard-growing contest. The contest runs through Tuesday, Nov. 27.<\/p>\n<p>Misinformation about men\u2019s health issues is abundant, Dr. Bates said, in part because it\u2019s so private.<\/p>\n<p>Important questions you \u2018mustache\u2019 yourself: How often do you go to the bathroom? When you go, is it urgent? Do you have blood in your urine?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bates adds, various treatment options are available locally. Patients can self-refer, meaning they don\u2019t have to visit their primary physician first. They can make an appointment directly at JRMC. That cuts down on embarrassing conversations.<\/p>\n<p>The #GROWvember contest is free to grow and $10 per beard to compete for prizes. Prizes awarded include but are not limited to: Longest beard, Best Styled Beard, Best Mustache and Cashiest \u2018Stache. All proceeds benefit JRMC\u2019s upcoming Cancer Center.<\/p>\n<p>A special event to announce the winners is set for Tuesday, Nov. 27 at Shady\u2019s Restaurant &amp; Lounge. The event begins with a social at 5 p.m. followed by awards at 6 p.m. Tickets area available in advance for $10 or at the door for $15. Tickets include appetizers and a beverage.
