Breaking the Stigma: Men Seeking Healthcare
The Reluctance Men Face in Seeking Medical Help
In this episode of Real Men Feel, host Andy Grant opens up about his recent experience with abdominal surgery to repair an umbilical hernia, which he believes was exacerbated by a bungee jump earlier in the year. He discusses the reluctance many men have in seeking medical help, attributing it to factors like fear of appearing weak, social conditioning, and time prioritization.
Citing a CDC report, Andy highlights the alarming statistics regarding men's health visits and encourages men to prioritize their health by getting regular check-ups and addressing symptoms early.
