Men's Health - Putting His Health First

Men often put their health on the back burner.  This is especially true for Black and Latino men.  And no matter what age they’re at, there’s no denying men are a whole lot less likely to visit their doctor.  Going to the doctor for regular check-ups is a big part of staying healthy! So why are men less likely to make regular visits to the doctor?

For some men who are in good health, they may not think it’s necessary. But the reality is that men of every decade need routine checkups. There are conditions that should potentially be checked.

Another reason could be the comfort factor. Maybe they aren’t comfortable with the idea of getting an exam or a blood draw. Or maybe they have the “dread factor,” thinking they are going to learn some bad news or get a lecture. That couldn’t be further from the truth. We are not here to make people feel bad; we want to help you stay healthy.

What is the number one condition that men are most likely to ignore?
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of men. Unfortunately, it can affect men in their 40s and younger. The good news is that it can be prevented.

Cancer takes the No. 2 spot, and there are also important screening tests based on age and family history for this.
