The month of November is dedicated to Movember, an international movement aiming to raise awareness about male cancers and promote men's health, particularly in Bergerac.

Recognizable by its famous mustache, Movember encourages breaking taboos, promoting prevention, and supporting research against prostate and testicular cancers. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men over 50, while testicular cancer particularly affects younger men.
Information and vigilance are essential. The appearance of an anomaly, mass, or persistent discomfort in the testicles, or urinary problems, should prompt consultation with a healthcare professional. It is also important to regularly discuss one's health with a doctor. For prostate cancer, the benefit of screening should be discussed individually with a doctor.
Movember also provides an opportunity to financially support prevention efforts and research. Contributions can be made through the CerHom association via HelloAsso or directly on the Movember collection. Every contribution helps advance research and raise public awareness.
