Male Health Problems
It is common knowledge that men, on average, visit their GP half as much as women and are less concerned about their health. Noticing changes in one’s health is really crucial and to consult a physician when you start noticing changes, instrumental in keeping abreast of your health.
There are a few health factors that men should be on the lookout for:
1) Lump on your testes: men between the ages of 20-35 are commonly diagnosed with testicular cancer and regular examination is highly recommended. The moment you feel a lump or notice some abnormality in your testes, visit your GP. However most lumps are not cancerous but if there is anything unusual, it is advisable to have an early diagnosis for effective treatment/results.
2) Moles: You should often be checking your moles and take note of any changes in colour, shape or whether they are bleeding. There should be no concern about the changes as they may be only increase in pigment cells but still worth some advice. Avoid the sun during peak times from 11am to 3pm and always wear sunscreen with a protection factor of minimum 15.
3) Depression: Feeling down, losing interest in your usual activities and hobbies then it is time to take action as this will impact on all aspects of your life from social, work and family. Women are prone to suffer from depression but men commit suicide which may be a result that they are disinclined to seek help. Whatever the reasons, financial or emotional, consult a specialist.
4) ) Impotence/PE: although there is very little evidence as to the cause of this common problem among men, it is a prevailing concept that stress in conjunction with psychological factors play large roles in this ailment. Simply put, dysfunction of this nature or impotence, occurs when a man in unable to perform. It is not unusual for most men to undergo obstacles of this nature but if they persist for longer than a few weeks, then some form of advice or treatment needs to be sought. If the situation is not treated, then it will affect you through stress and anxiety leading to self-confidence issues that may influence relationships. A plausible solution is using Prolong Climax Control Programme.
5) Urinating trouble: If the prostrate is enlarged, the urine tube from the bladder can be compressed which will cause difficulty in passing urine and be an early indication of prostrate disease. Typical characteristics are difficulty in passing urine or a burning sensation and the constant need to urinate at all hours of the night. The prostate gland is essential. In the UK prostrate cancer is the most common form among men with over 30,000 men diagnosed every year.
What is essential in terms of maintaining a healthy body is regular exercise, ie: at least twenty minutes of vigorous walking/running per day (why not take the stairs for a change?), a balanced nutritional diet according to the demands of your life (snackers opt for a healthy option) whilst keeping the alcohol content to a conservative level (perhaps week-ends or try once a month and see how you feel as your body will definitely benefit from the rest) and no smoking. The effects will be instant.
