Mention It: Men's Health Issues & Concerns

Men! Let’s get more proactive when it comes to our health.

You spend so much time focusing on the ones you love. They depend on you, and you would do anything for them.

But what about YOU? We know life is busy, but you need to take an active role in your health now, to protect yourself for the future.

Most men in their 20s probably don’t think they have anything to worry about just yet. But the way you look after your health in early adulthood has a big impact on your health later in life.

Are you at risk?

In the UAE, many young men are putting themselves at an increased risk of serious conditions later on, through the lifestyle choices they are making now. Things like smoking and obesity are serious, yet preventable risk factors that can increase the risk of developing things like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and more.

Take action now

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is encouraging men to take these risk factors seriously. With a quarter of all men in the UAE smoking, and over 70% being overweight, it’s time to take action. And the best way you can prioritize your health is by talking to your doctor.

See your doctor

During regular check-ups, your doctor will talk to you about preventative steps you can take to maintain your health for the future, while routine screening can help detect early warning signs of many serious conditions.

For men over 40, routine visits to a urologist should also be a part of your health routine, to ensure the health of your bladder, prostate and sexual health, and to help detect early signs of things like prostate cancer.
