Dr. Robert J. Bates, JRMC\u2019s Harvard-trained urologist, says, \u00a0\u00a0#GROWvember is a silly way to get the word out about a serious cause.<\/p>\n<p>He adds, \u00a0facial hair shows you care, and opens the door to conversations about below-the-belt subjects like prostates, bladders, kidneys.<\/p>\n<p>Men\u2019s health below the belt can make a person squeamish, but ignoring symptoms can have a devastating effect.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bates says, \u201cSilence can be our worst enemy. Talking about these issues and seeing a specialist are the necessary steps to below-the-belt health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In celebration of those hairy conversations &#8212; and faces &#8212; JRMC held a Stache Bash Tuesday, Nov. 27.

When you go, is it urgent? Do you have blood in your urine?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bates says, 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.
