PARKWAY 百汇医疗 # Men’s Health # It’s well known that the average man has a lower life expectancy than women, but how much do you really know about men’s health? Here are 3 of the most common medical concerns men face. Coronary Artery Disease of the Heart Coronary Artery Disease of the Heart (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women. However, men tend to be at a higher risk of CAD, and it affects them much earlier in life. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consider a health screen or consultation with your doctor. If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness that is of sudden onset you should either go down to your nearest A&E or urgently consult your doctor as it could be a sign of severe heart disease. Prostate Cancer The prostate is a gland that is below the bladder and is responsible for producing part of the liquid component of semen. Only men have prostate. Prostate cancer has become the 3rd most common cancer in Singaporean men. It’s important to note that prostate cancer often presents without any noticeable symptoms. Doctors recommend regular prostate examinations because early detection plays a big part in successful treatment. Diabetes Diabetes is a growing health concern for both men and women. Poorly controlled diabetes can adversely affect a man’s testosterone level and cause impotence and infertility. Men (and women) who are significantly overweight have a much higher risk of developing diabetes, which is why it is important to maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Please note that in mild to moderate diabetes, there might not be any symptoms at all. In fact about 50% of those with diabetes do not know they are suffering from the disease. In most cases, diabetes can be avoided, or at least delayed with exercise, a healthy balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy body weight. A sedentary lifestyle has been identified as one of the leading causes of type 2 diabetes, so an active lifestyle can make a difference.
