Men's health care or health in general is not and should not be the trend of a given month, day or year.

Regular medical checks, prevention and treatment should be daily. So, the issue of men's health should be raised every day and the answers should be sought from the experts.

In order for men to stay or become healthy, they need to pay attention to the specific problems and pathologies that affect them and be aware of the problems. In this way, the problem itself is easier to understand and prevent or eliminate at the right time.


The most common problems affecting middle-aged men are: benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a benign enlargement of the prostate caused by the growth of new prostate cells and most commonly occurs in middle-aged men. Some concerns may appear earlier and range from minimal to those that significantly impair a man's quality of life and health. The most common symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia is urination disorder.

Frequent urination at night, waiting for urination to start or pain are clear warnings that you should go to the doctor. Although it is the most common benign tumor, the frequency of benign prostatic hyperplasia increases with age and can lead to complications. The most common complications that occur are bladder stones, urinary infections, urinary incontinence, upper urinary tract dysfunction, and hematuria (blood in the urine).

The second, most common condition often associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia is erectile dysfunction, from which more and more men suffer, both middle-aged and older, but also young men.

Erectile dysfunction - also referred to as erectile dysfunction - is a sexual dysfunction in which a man cannot achieve or maintain an erection until the end of sexual activity for a period longer than six months. The causes are usually mixed, so mostly it is a combination of psychological factors (stress, relationship problems, lack of self-confidence) and organic factors (smoking, diabetes, hypertension...). It is precisely psychological factors that are the cause of an increasing number of young men with this disorder. It is very important that erectile dysfunction is not "treated" independently, without the professional help of a specialist doctor.

Erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease share common risk factors such as age, hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, insulin resistance and diabetes, smoking, obesity and depression. Multiple studies have shown that erectile dysfunction is common in patients with cardiovascular disease (more than 70 percent) and is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular events in men with and without confirmed cardiovascular disease. It is important to note that erectile dysfunction precedes symptoms of coronary heart disease or other cardiovascular problems. /Telegraph/
