Men are notorious for avoiding regular medical care and ignoring unusual symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men in the United States, on average, die 5 years earlier than women and are at increased risk for several serious conditions, including heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease and more.

June is Men’s Health Month, which is a time to raise awareness about common men’s health issues and urge men to be proactive with health screenings. Men are encouraged to use this month as an opportunity to begin making healthier choices and remind other men in their life to do the same.
