June is widely celebrated as Men’s Health Month, and communities worldwide observe this month as a period of raising awareness of men’s health issues. Despite the progress we’ve made in healthcare, men’s health remains a serious issue that is often overlooked in our busy daily lives. There is also a significant mortality gap between men and women. In this article, we’ll explore why men are at greater risk for health problems, the importance of Men’s Health Month, and how Zarcare Tele healthcare can be crucial in promoting men’s well-being.

Why Are Men at Greater Risk?

Several factors contribute to men being more susceptible to health issues than women:

1. Societal Pressure: From an early age, men are pressured to be self-reliant, strong, and successful. This pressure often leads them to neglect their health in pursuit of societal expectations.

2. Reluctance to Seek Help: Men are less likely to seek medical and professional assistance than women. The image of men as strong and tough has persisted throughout history, making it challenging to admit vulnerability or ask for help.

3. Emotional Suppression: Men are often discouraged from expressing their emotions openly. The fear of being judged or perceived as weak prevents many men from sharing their feelings, leading to emotional and mental health issues.

Key Men’s Health Facts

Here are some essential facts about men’s health:

1. Suicide: Men are more likely to die by suicide than women.

2. Prostate Cancer: Approximately 248,530 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the United States.

3. Avoiding Medical Care: Shockingly, 60% of men do not seek medical attention even when they suspect severe health problems.

4. Heart Disease: Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men in the United States.
