It is a well known fact that women on average live longer than men. The reasons for this are many. For example the male hormone testosterone is not as conducive to longevity as the female hormone oestrogen.
Men take more risks at work, leisure, driving and also unfortunately with their health.
A recent survey revealed that men were 4 times less likely than women to see their doctor. The message must be that men inform themselves about their bodies. This will cause symptoms in men such as frequency, poor stream and getting up at night to pass urine. In some men with prostatic enlargement, there will be cancerous involvement of the gland. This is one of the commonest causes of cancers in males.
