Heart Disease
Men are at higher risk than women of heart disease. Lifestyle factors have a significant role to play. Our GPs can help you by considering your family history, current lifestyle, and blood test indicators to assess your personal risk, and help you to make positive changes for a healthier life!
Other ways you can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke are:
- Get your cholesterol checked every five years
- If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, arrange with your GP to have these under control
- If you smoke, get help to quit
- Try to get about 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week
- Avoid processed and packaged foods, and try to eat more fruits and vegetables

Lung Cancer
Men are also at high risk of lung cancer. Quitting smoking will reduce this risk and is very important to consider, as lung cancer usually spreads early on before it causes symptoms. This is dangerous, as it is often advanced once it is discovered and therefore more difficult to cure.
Prostate Cancer
The prostate is a small gland behind the penis that secretes fluids for ejaculation. As men age, problems with the prostate can develop. Checking your prostate for cancer involves a digital rectal exam and a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The most important thing, however, is to speak to your doctor regularly and talk about your overall risk.
Diabetes
Frequent urination or thirst might bring you into the doctor. Diabetes is one of the worst preventable diseases affecting us today. It can lead to serious conditions such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. But it doesn’t have to. Regular GP visits to assess your risk factors and check your blood sugar can help diagnose and treat diabetes in its early stages.
Depression and Suicide
If you notice that your mood has been low for an extended period, and your sleep, appetite, and energy levels aren’t like they used to be, then it’s worth speaking to someone. Many men find this uncomfortable, which is understandable. However, recognizing that you haven’t been yourself and getting help is far better than trying to manage it alone.
