This International Men’s Health Week (June 12-18), we’re focusing on a critical message: your health matters, and early detection saves lives.
The Reality of Men’s Health Challenges
Men face unique healthcare challenges that often go unaddressed. Statistics show that men are significantly less likely to seek preventive care, leading to delayed diagnoses and poorer health outcomes. The leading health concerns affecting men today include:
- Cardiovascular Disease – Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among men, often developing silently without obvious symptoms until a serious event occurs.
- Prostate Health – Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men, with risk increasing significantly after age 50. Early-stage prostate issues rarely present symptoms.
- Lung Health – Men have higher rates of lung cancer and respiratory diseases, often related to occupational exposures and lifestyle factors.
- Musculoskeletal Injuries – Work-related injuries, sports activities, and age-related joint deterioration affect men’s mobility and quality of life.
- Abdominal Health Issues – Digestive disorders, liver disease, and abdominal cancers often require imaging for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
