Many men delay health check-ups or find it hard to talk about stress, low mood or worries. Small, regular steps can make a real difference.
Prevention basics
- Have your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar checked as advised.
- Stay active and keep a healthy diet.
- Limit alcohol and avoid tobacco.
- Ask about screening that is relevant to your age and family history.
Mental wellbeing
Feeling low, anxious or constantly stressed is common and treatable. Talking to a friend, a doctor or a counselor is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Do not ignore these
See a doctor if you notice unexplained weight loss, persistent pain, blood in urine or stool, a lump, or changes that last more than a couple of weeks.
If you are in crisis: If you are having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right now.
