Men’s health issues are generally not much spoken of and there is not as much awareness when it comes to conditions that afflict men. - brought to you by SunwayMedical

EFFORTS in creating awareness and highlighting women’s health issues, such as breast cancer, have been laudable.

“The Breast Cancer Pink October campaign has been a success in Malaysia and the same strategy could be emulated for men’s cancer health. Although some cases may be related to undescended testes, in some others no risk factor can be identified. An early symptom is swelling in the testes, which is not necessarily painful.

Meanwhile, prostate cancer is related to ageing – incidence increases with age. It is the third most cancer among men, constituting 8.1% of all cancer in men. Age aside, there are also a few lifestyle risk factors identified. Some of these are high dietary fat, high dairy and calcium intake, and excessive multivitamin use.
