A recent survey has revealed a concerning trend among American men: over half feel compelled to "tough it out" when they're not feeling well.
The poll, which surveyed 2,000 U.S. men, highlighted that many are uncomfortable discussing their health due to privacy concerns (61%), embarrassment (39%), or fear of feeling less "manly" (17%).
Surprisingly, four in ten men admitted they're even afraid to talk about potential health issues they haven't yet experienced. Additionally, more than 60% reported feeling insecure (63%) or lonely (61%) at least occasionally.
In light of Men’s Health Week, the study conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Rugiet Health also found that men are least comfortable discussing obesity (10%), and depression (10%).
During Men’s Health Week, it is crucial to raise awareness about the silent struggles men face and encourage them to seek help when needed. Addressing the potential impact on various aspects of men's lives is an important step in promoting overall health and well-being.
