3Over half of Health Research Council funding allocated to men’s health issues since 2010 has been awarded to projects
concentrating on [blank_start]prostate or testicular[blank_end] cancer. However, prostate and testicular cancer combined account for just 4.4% of all annual male deaths. [blank_start]Lung[blank_end] cancer accounts for 5.8% of all male deaths each year, followed by [blank_start]colorectal[blank_end] cancer at
4.3%. Among all cancers, hospitalisation for prostate and testicularcancer is low. The highest hospitalisation rate is reported in [blank_start]skin cancer[blank_end] patients (1.9% of hospitalisations).- Aprostate or testicular

5Five signs men shouldn’t ignore:
1. Chest pain
It's important to have any chest pain checked out by a doctor straight away. There are a number of important conditions to be considered such as: a blood [blank_start]clot[blank_end], a [blank_start]lung[blank_end] condition such as pneumonia, asthma, anxiety, heart problems, angina, or a digestive problem such as acid reflux or a stomach ulcer.
2. A big belly
Visceral fat (the stuff that hugs the gut) can increase the risk of [blank_start]diabetes[blank_end] and [blank_start]coronary artery[blank_end] disease. A stomach can also become larger due to fluid, not fat, from illnesses such as [blank_start]liver[blank_end] disease. Too much visceral fat can lead to inflammation and [blank_start]high[blank_end] blood pressure, which increases the risk of serious health problems.
3. Erectile dysfunction
About 70% of cases of erectile dysfunction are caused by another underlying condition.
4. Constipation
While being ‘blocked up’ could be a heads up that someone needs to change their diet to include more high-fibre and plenty of fluids, it could also be a warning sign of [blank_start]bowel[blank_end] disease. Any change in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhoea) that last [blank_start]two[blank_end] or more weeks should be checked out by a GP. Both can signal colorectal cancer, which is the [blank_start]thirdleading[blank_end] cause of cancer-related death in men. Other symptoms to watch for include: bloody or narrow stools, unexplained weight
loss or fatigue, cramping and bloating. Colorectal cancer can be present for several years before symptoms develop, so it’s
important to refer to a doctor any of the above symptoms are present.
5. Frequent urination
If someone develops ‘bladder issues’ and are constantly plagued with the need to pee, they should be referred to the doctor. Frequent urination may represent a problem in your [blank_start]prostate[blank_end] or a [blank_start]urinary[blank_end] infection.- Aclot

61 in 8 men experience depression at some stage of their life.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
7Men are more likely to recognise and describe the [blank_start]physical[blank_end] symptoms of depression (such as feeling [blank_start]tired[blank_end] or losing weight) than women. Men may acknowledge feeling irritable or [blank_start]angry[blank_end], rather than saying they feel low. Depression isn't just about feeling sad or frustrated; it can be about feeling out of control, powerless to handle emotions and unable to see a way out. Factors which can contribute to depression in men:
◦ Physical health problems
◦ Relationship problems
◦ Family problems
◦ Employment problems
◦ Drug and alcohol consumption
◦ Social [blank_start]isolation[blank_end]
◦ Significant change in [blank_start]living[blank_end] arrangements (e.g. separation or divorce)- Aphysical

8Between the ages of 15–30 years, suicide is the leading cause of death for men.[blank_start]12[blank_end]% of male suicide attempts result in death, compared to just [blank_start]2[blank_end]% for women. This disparity may arise from higher suicidal intent among men compared with women. Some of the most common triggers for suicide are: [blank_start]breakup[blank_end] of a relationship, debilitating physical illness or [blank_start]accident[blank_end], death of someone [blank_start]close[blank_end], a [blank_start]suicide[blank_end] of someone famous or from a peer group, or bullying or discrimination.
