Men: Step up with a check-up

June is National Men's Health Month, a time to remind men of the health issues they face and what they can do to take charge of their health. Men are significantly less likely than women to see a doctor or report symptoms to a health care provider.

The consequences of putting medical care off or keeping information from a doctor if they do see one, can be dire.

This is especially true with prostate cancer, which can be detected with a simple physical exam. Patients that are diagnosed at an early stage have a much better prognosis than those who show up too late at the doctor.

By putting regular exams off, men may be in much worse condition by the time a disease is caught than they would have been if they had gone in early and regularly.
