Need to understand how the male 'thinks' in matters of health



Medicine for HIM


Patient man the ‘strong gender' weakens in regard to health. How do men manage, to pay more attention for their health


Some men wants it subtle. The pharmacist Peter Gerhold has specialized himself in herbal medicine. His motto: To approach health complains of his clients as gentle as possible. However at times he has to take a clear stand. "Specially elderly gentlemen often refuse stubbornly to visit a doctor. They rather go to the pharmacy to acquire uncommited consultation, although they can feel that something is not OK with their health". Some times because the blood pressure is to high, or blood sugar level above normal, at times I just take the phone and in my hand and offer the patient with information which specialist is having a clinic in the vicinity


In respect of health it shows the strong gender its very weak point: He has a higher health risk and dies much earlier as the female gender. Males who are today 65 have a good chance to reach 80 plus, while the females may reach close to 90.


Experts recognize likely causes for this. Man are health provision lazy. And they are less prevention conscious. In any health related seminar one can note that females are outnumbering the males.


A study has shown that the participation in courses about physical activity, only 22 % and on issues related to stress, only 16 % were male participants. The male is in despair!


But why are the health courses and seminars so little the "bosses of creation"? Alone the mere word, course or seminar, is creating resistance. It has a lot to do with the approach. Particularly the elder generation has a very technical approach to there body. The body has to function, that is its purpose. Also men compare themselves more in terms of competition and success. And as such terms like "health management, or training" more appealing. The contend of such presentations have to be modified in its terminology to appeal to men. While a women prefers an experimental approach, the male looks for the competitive way to measure himself with others.


The acquired self-image in the head


Also the visit to the doctor is more difficult for males out of fear of a bad diagnostic result. As main breadwinner in the family have they be under heavy pressure and perceive that in case of illness their job be endangered or income stopped. Many however are convinced that 'doctors will always find something wrong'. That is why they suppress illnesses. They are not taking time for their illness, as long as possible the body has to function or has to get back to function respectively. Even though a seemingly harmless infection or affliction should be given time to cure properly.


It is a typical behaviour of males that they deny body symptoms and will only see a doctor when the pain and symptoms becomes massive. This might also be a result of a deficit in consciousness of their body. Males have been coached to be strong and courageous. "Sickness is regarded as a sign of weakness. Many males are feeling in case of an illness a comparatively helplessness. It can only be hoped that these fellows will ask for more professional help to express their fears and concerns to avoid becoming depressive.


A further reason to avoid visit to a doctor are wrong pictures they maintain. Most males associate problems with the prostate gland with potency and incontinence.


However in most cases are these just harmless prostate enlargements which respond well to medications. Many males are just too afraid of the examination. They have often a weird expectation of it, due to various stories circulating around. Although some experience the examination as unpleasant , mostly they do not experience pain and the procedure last for only 30 seconds. Often they will later express their surprise and say that, "if I had known that the examination was so simple, I would have had it done much earlier".


Five weaknesses of the male


Psych More and more males develop depressions. Latest discovery revealed that HIS suffering exhibits itself in untypical symptoms like range and fury attacks. The illness is therefore often been undiscovered


Cardiovascular 55 % of heart infarct death are males. They develop problems much younger than females. Frequent causes are high blood pressure, stress, overweight and lack of exercise. People with hypertension should check their blood pressure on a regular interval at home.


Intestine If intestinal cancer is discovered at an early stage are the chances for cure very good. Unfortunately do in particular males not go for regular tests, even if they are simple and painless.


Prostate Prostate carcinoma is the most common for of tumour in men. The trickiness is that they cause in the beginning hardly any complains. In benign cases of enlargement medications are very successful.


Penis About 25 % of all over 65 years old suffer from erectile dysfunction. But only 20 % of those afflicted will go to see a doctor. While it is very easy for a urologist to discover the reason and provide adequate treatment.
