In this webinar we discussed
UK Statistics show that men see their GP half as often as women do, which is a concerning reality, especially when considering more than 4 in 10 cancers are preventable. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with more than 30,000 diagnosed each year in the UK. Sue discusses the signs and symptoms in later stages and how a simple blood test can detect prostate cancer early.
Testicular Cancer affects 1 in 250 men, mostly common in men aged between 20 to 34 and is one of the most treatable cancers if caught early. Sue discusses the signs and symptoms and impresses the importance of regular checking, as well as how and when.
In the UK, 1 in 6 men die from heart disease. Sue discusses the risk factors and how men can make small lifestyle changes before experiencing a cardiac event to improve their heart health.
Between age 40-60 testosterone levels in men suddenly drop significantly causing stress, reduced libido or motivation, sometimes weight gain and mental ill health. This male hormone fluctuation is known as ‘andropause’ and can significantly affect men in their day to day lives and in their performance at work. Sue shares more information on diagnosis and treatment.
Sue closes by discussing how men have a completely different hormonal system which can cause them to compartmentalise stress (harder to spot signs) and react more aggressively. Stress can cause constant fatigue and burnout, often with signs manifesting in the workplace. 1 in 8 men have a diagnosed mental health condition and suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under 45, making it a highly important topic to end this highly informative webinar.
