  • Diabetes
  • Infectious diseases
  • Obesity

  • Smoke and drink
  • Make unhealthy or risky choices
  • Put off regular checkups and medical care”.3

Men’s Issues

What are some health issues unique to men?Men’s Health

In Men’s Health the (United States) National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health explain:

“Some health issues are unique to men (such as prostate disease and erectile dysfunction), and others are more common in men than women (such as coronary heart disease, lung cancer, HIV infection, and Parkinson’s disease)”.4

The MedlinePlus also note:

“There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as prostate cancer and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face – like colon cancer or heart disease – can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they are easier to treat. It’s important to get the screening tests you need”.5
