Men's Health Week is June 9 through 15 There's a chronic health problem among American men: They are more much more likely to avoid going to the doctor. According to UAB Medicine, only about 60 percent of American men between the ages of 22 and 65 receive an annual physical, and many men will only seek care if they suspect a serious medical problem. And the Cleveland Clinic has found that about 65 percent of men will avoid going to the doctor for as long as possible. Dr. Patrick Selph, a urologist with UAB Medicine, notes that avoiding routine medical care means that medical conditions may go undetected for years. In his own clinic, Selph routinely diagnoses patients with diabetes or high blood pressure after they seek care for unrelated complaints like urinary tract infections. Many of these issues could have been detected earlier or prevented entirely with more routine medical care and annual physicals. Why do people avoid care? Cost, inadequate insurance coverage, not enough local providers, and lack of time are some of the most common obstacles, according to Nashville Medical News. But avoidance is common even if care is readily available. According to Texas Health, around one-quarter of men have felt judged by healthcare providers, and nearly half fear uncomfortable discussions about their sexual health. Other anxiety-provoking topics include their workout frequency, alcohol and tobacco use, and adherence to prescribed medications and treatment plans. This story was posted on 2025-06-10 01:03:25
