I think there's an equal number of women who ignore problems and seek help very late on. I think its a personality, rather than a gender thing along with a whole lotta luck. Some people lead terribly unhealthy lives and live until they're 90. Some get cancer and die before reaching adulthood. Not always rhyme or reason, and life can be unfair.

it's fear of getting a dr like meeka who loves examining the prostate even if you've got an axe in ya head 😝😝😝 - Posted from rhpmobile

Be stuffed if I know why they are so reticent to go to a doctor. I'm glad I nagged my hubby to go to the doctor over a year ago when one of his testes was inflamed and sore to the touch. He thought it might have been a hernia, turned out it was kidney cancer! I don't need to nag anymore, anything out of the ordinary and he is booking himself in! Mary xx

It's pretty hard to acknowledge fragilities. Especially if it contradicts with the way society tries to portray you. That's why I love the advertising men's issues using men like Angry Anderson. At times I do love advertisers insights. Ahh... if only they used their powers for good all the time.

Macho thing of course. Men are meant to be tough. Not supposed to cry. They dont talk about their feelings. Might be wounded but onward with the hunt. The protector of their women and children. Cant show weekness. Onward at all costs. Not allowed to wear dresses........

Quoting 'Whateverway' Macho thing of course. Men are meant to be tough. Not supposed to cry. They dont talk about their feelings. Might be wounded but onward with the hunt. The protector of their women and children. Cant show weekness. Onward at all costs. Not allowed to wear dresses........ I kinda agree with Whateverway. I hardly ever get ill (touch wood), and refused to see doc until I had a kid.Upon becoming a Dad I felt the need to be more responsible so now see doc if need be and get annual check ups I'm a good boy lol

has got it down pat. Go back as far in history as you like - blokes aren't supposed to show any form of "weakness", as it may impact on their desirability to the ladies. Showing you're Macho or tough shows you're made of sterner stuff - a desirable quality to exhibit. Protector of the "weaker" sex and any kids, an' all that, regardless of how they feel. Hard to beat evolution. Tall

sitting in the waiting room of an imaging service.... Every 12 months I get myself checked out with cholesterol, blood sugars, and Sti/std checks if there's been no sexual partners....else it's every 3-6 months... I also get my skin mapping for melanoma as being a truckie it's pretty much a no brainer... Then there are the eye tests.... 😊 - Posted from rhpmobile

I have no fears of doctors, hospitals or what may happen to me, life is life and it deals you what it deals you. Make the most of what you have got and appreciate that. But me and my doc have heaps of fun. During my bad time when my bipolar went right off and I suffered some fairly full on psychosis I felt I was kind of Jesus and I happened to tell him. Many years later I happened to be in for a checkup, he looked at me and said aren't you supposed to be dead by now. I queried him and he just said well you are 33 now . The dude always cracks me up and I give him great amusement when I visit him with my I really don't give a rats arse attitude

I don't like seeing doctors either. They charge a lot of money and stick their noses in where they are not wanted. Reluctant for a reason. So lecture away. I'm deaf. - Posted from rhpmobile

I know it was a joke, but actually flu does hit men worse than women as men tend to have more temperature receptors in the brain, so a rise in body temperature above what it should be will make us feel worse.

Men are basic stoic creatures, that must hunt, fight, eat and fuck. Seeing a doctor has always felt a little like losing. My body is letting me down, then finding time to get there for 15minutes, and then hoping the Docs educated guess may resolve my issue. Have had a number of poor outcomes with Doctors.

Only last week a close friend of mine of 10 years died two weeks after being diagnosed with Stage 4 uterine cancer. She went into hospital and never came out. She was 42. The same age her mother was when she died of exactly the same diseaseDiscussions with her two sisters revealed that all 3 had been offered genetic testing for this insidious disease, both her sisters were tested and the results came back negative, but my friend refused the test stating she was "scared" - scared of what exactly does my head in because had she been tested earlier, preventative steps could have been taken and just maybe this whole situation may have been avoided. I say May because we do not know for sure. My friend was obviously sick for months and told no one not even her sisters, work colleagues, friends, no one, so it makes you wonder exactly what was going through her head. Was this her passive "way" out ?All I can say is imho, she was selfish in her cowardice and whatever else was in her thought pattern. This event has left me angry with her and the universe, unanswered questions and with a whole lot of "what ifs"

Until a few years ago I was too self conscious to talk about symptoms. Two situations changed the perception, one the love and trust of Mrs A and secondly , being in contact with those that suffer

I get sore balls from time to time.. but its generally from playing rough or blue balls! seriously though, i dont think blokes are scared of the Docs, i think it's a case of thinking the issue isn't that bad. - Posted from rhpmobile

never felt like i needed it being active reasonably fit , and just had the attitude live life to the full , but when i hit 40 i started to think and take more care , when before i would just jump in willy nilly now adays i take a conservative approach and at 40 went in for a full service and oil check , blood tests and angeogram and so on now my attitude is for prolonged life , think before i jump , know myself better and listen to my body when it tells me its got issues and hopefully catch it before it catches you . But i say to any women nag the fuck outa your man till he goes for a checkup he will make him . And fellas just do it better to have an appointment with your doctor than an appointment with your funeral home !! - Posted from rhpmobile
