Apparently women are better than men at seeking out health advice, as a result serious and chronic disease is diagnosed earlier. There is some concern in the UK that for a variety of reasons men do not act similarly. The reasons are varied not the least of which is the fact that men don't always feel that doctors take them seriously. However, this reluctance is causing an increase in testicular cancer. Ladies, I am sure that you regularly check your breasts for lumps and bumps, grab you partner and check him down below. Push him to the Doctor if you find anything untoward. Does the man in your life have regular check ups - do you?

It's not that we're unaware of 'down below' it's more that if we suspect something our men do not visit a doctor!!!sad

hi pikey oh you are so right guys willjust put off going even when they are really hurting. I had finally got my husband to go to the doctor as he was really suffering from what he kept saying was hemmorrhoids, but they took a biopsy and it came back negative, but he continued to be in horrible pain so I made him go to the gynecologist we had been recommded to, and he said get your husband to UCI med.center as this is definitely cancer, it came off in my hand, so he went back and another biopsy showed cancer definitely, they cut out a lot of his colon and all the lympth nodes and had to give him a emptying hole in his tummy as the whole rectal area was cancerous. He did fine and was cancer free, but he died from smoking three packs of cigarettes every day , tenyears later. I remember begging, pleading,insisting he quit smoking but he just could not do it, the doctors had all sorts of quit smoking plans b ut he wou ld not do it at all.the sad thing is you can try to help but if the smoker does not want to stop you cannot force him. three heart attacks in a week and he was gone like that. I have always checked myself but men are so
against going to the doctor. but he had a chance to grow old with me, an he turned it down for a dumb cigarette.s ad but true.thumbdownthumbdownthumbdown

Hatley I know how close you were to your husband. My FIL was killed by lung cancer brought on by a lifetime's smoking and he refused to give up too. My MIL smoked all her life as well but got Alzheimer's instead!

Hello, Pikey. My husband has cirrhosis, and he knows it, but because the last liver function came back normal, he thinks he's teflon coated. He knows he shouldn't drink, but he still does. If I say anything, it's my fault, because if I hadn't made him go to the specialist, we wouldn't have known he had cirrhosis, so he could have carried on drinking without worrying.

The minor detail that if I hadn't got him to the specialist almost three years ago, he would have died within months seems to have escaped him. He's had an extra 2 years because I dragged him to the doctors, but I'm the villain for upsetting the apple cart. Oh well, you do what you have to do, and I'd do it again.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 41 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

Some people can't see the obvious when it stares them in the face Sandra. I have no doubt that you'll be hauling him to the Dr again idc. My FIL was the same. He knew the smoking could kill him, but he had half a lung out and promptly lit up again. Of course a few years later he was back in hospital lying on his back watching his life tick away on the clock that they put on the wall at the end of his bed. I asked him if it bothered him and he said that it didn't. By then he knew he'd lost the fight.

Well, I guess if he knew he had lost the battle by that point, then he may as well 'indulge' himself in whatever he pleases and is still capable of enjoying until the end. sad *HUGS*

Ok, so what exacxtly am I supposed to be checking down there? Forget a regular check up, my husband doesn't like going to doctors and neither does he like us going. He's a pharmacologist working towards his Doctorate and I have to admit his advice has always been better than that of a doctor's. Unless it's really really necessary, none of us visit a hospital or a doctor.
So, what is it I need to check? Not that my husband's going to go to the doctor just because I insist.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 41 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

Lumps and bumps. A swelling that wasn't there before. Physical things really. If he finds that one testicle is suddenly larger than the other - one usually hangs lower normally - then get him checked out. If he doesn't present any problems...well...enjoy! LOL.

HA HA! You are just advocating for all of us women to 'feel' our men regularly so they get more action. Cause every time we 'touch' him there, he thinks it is time to spring into action. You little devil, you. rofl

But yeah, I check myself all the time, and he is always examining himself, too, so no worries.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 41 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

Glad to hear it Annie. Then again I think that you've got him by the b@@@s already! LOL.
