Men have unique health challenges today that require an integrative approach to healthcare.
Stigmas in Men’s Preventative Health Care
Men often face stigmas that hinder their engagement with preventative health care. These include societal expectations of masculinity, which discourage expressing vulnerability or prioritizing health, and the perception that seeking medical help is unnecessary unless symptoms are severe. Fear of diagnosis, time constraints, and a belief that routine checks are unimportant further deter men from accessing preventative care.
How a Well-Man Check Helps
A well-man check addresses these barriers by providing a structured, proactive approach to health. It offers a confidential, comprehensive assessment of key health indicators, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and prostate health, while screening for conditions like diabetes or heart disease. This check empowers men to take control of their health, detect potential issues early, and adopt preventative measures, fostering a culture of regular health monitoring and breaking down stigmas around seeking care. From environmental assaults that disrupt hormone balance to the gut-hormone–cardiovascular connection, it is critical to have a holistic approach to men’s health. Personalised nutrition and lifestyle will be discussed.
Men may be encouraged to seek a checkup if they experience persistent fatigue or low energy, unexplained weight changes, frequent urination or difficulty urinating, erectile dysfunction, shortness of breath or chest pain, ongoing pain (such as in the back, joints, or abdomen), changes in bowel or bladder habits (like blood in stool or urine, persistent constipation, or diarrhea), unexplained lumps or swelling (especially in the testicles or lymph nodes), mental health changes (such as prolonged sadness, anxiety, or irritability), or recurring infections or illnesses and more.
