When the trend first started it wasn’t uncommon for some doctors to advise against NNN because of the trend and there wasn’t enough data to say either way.
The last year or two I’ve seen most consensus lean towards just making it more detectable.
For some people the sharp change in habit causes pain, or other very minor medical issues. They go in and get an exam they other wise wouldn’t. And thus more cases are found.
Wether or not NNN is actively harmful is up for debate still with most studies I’ve seen leaning towards it being fine to minorly unsafe.
But the amount of studies is small and the evidence very weak.
If anything it just reinforced the growing trend to suggest younger men go get prostate exams sooner then the old wisdom suggests.
Thats actually pretty interesting. Do we know if theres an actual cause-effect relationship or if its just making it detectable?
