Common Health Issues Men Ignore (Including Diabetes)

Its usually common for men to overlook their health and this is due to a number of factors such as fear of diagnosis, cultural beliefs or societal pressures to appear less vulnerable . All the above tend to affect their response time to proper medical care.

Here are some common health issues men tend to ignore:

1. Type 2 Diabetes: Many men ignore symptoms like fatigue, frequent urination, or

increased thirst. Untreated diabetes can lead to kidney disease, vision loss, and

heart problems.

2. High Blood Pressure: Often called the "silent killer," it can damage the heart

and arteries without noticeable symptoms.

3. Prostate Problems: Urinary issues may indicate an enlarged prostate or

prostate cancer, which men often dismiss.

4. Mental Health: Depression, anxiety, and chronic stress are common but rarely

acknowledged. Men are less likely to seek psychological help.

5. Heart Disease: Chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or dizziness might be

ignored until a serious event occurs.

Ignoring these conditions can be fatal. Regular check-ups and open conversations

about health can save lives. At our clinic, we offer men-friendly health screenings and

diabetes management plans tailored for every stage of life.
