A man’s reluctance to see a GP about an ongoing health problem could cost him his life, yet men are the worst offenders at burying their heads in the sand and hoping it will go away. Figures released by UK charity the Men’s Health Forum early in 2009 revealed that, on average, men see their GP only three times a year, compared to five times for women.

They are also less likely to have regular dental check-ups or seek health advice at a pharmacy. Yet men develop many serious illnesses earlier than women -- 10-15 years earlier in the case of heart disease -- and 16% of men compared to 6% of women will die while still of working age.

The aim of Men's Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men. So in an effort to convince all you macho fellas out there that admitting to a health problem and getting treatment is nothing to be ashamed of, Alan White, the world’s first Professor of Men’s Health at Leeds Metropolitan University, gives his list of the five most common male health problems that men suffer from. These are problems that could be prevented, or at least detected and treated earlier, with more regular check-ups and a little bit of self-TLC.
