Taking the next
step
When it comes to health, men generally
prefer to cross their fingers and hope for the best rather than take precautions and look after
themselves. But it’s important for men to be aware of the health issues they may face so any problems can
be detected and treated early. Good general and reproductive health, positive mental health, happy
relationships and living a healthy lifestyle can all contribute to a long and happy
life.
Health problems of the reproductive
system can happen across the lifespan and many become more common in men as they get older. Infertility,
erectile dysfunction, testicular cancer, low testosterone levels and prostate problems affect the lives
of thousands of Australian men. While most problems ‘below the belt’ are not life-threatening, they can
impact on quality of life. Many of these conditions can be treated if diagnosed early, so talk to a
doctor about your reproductive health and any concerns you may have.
Depression is a serious illness and is
very common; one in six men has depression. However, it can be treated and there are ways to help manage
depression including reducing stress and anxiety, getting enough sleep, keeping active, spending time
with mates, talking to someone and reducing alcohol and drug intake.
Trust and communication are important for
healthy relationships, but life changes such as retirement or financial pressures can impact negatively
on relationships. Keep in touch with others and ensure your relationships stay
healthy.
Heart disease and diabetes are serious
conditions and are often preventable through healthy lifestyle choices. Making sure you take part in
regular physical activity, have a healthy diet, quit smoking and limit the amount of alcohol you drink
will put you in a good position to avoid these serious long-term health
problems.
So, now that you are armed with
information about important health issues, what’s the next step? Book an appointment to see your doctor
for a general health check. Think about the lifestyle you lead and how it can affect your health in the
long-term. Don’t just sit there, make healthy choices!
