Men’s health

Refers to a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, as experienced by men, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Differences in men’s health compared to women’s can be attributed to biological factors (such as male genitalia or hormones), behavioral factors (men are more likely to make unhealthy or risky choices and less likely to seek medical care) and social factors (e.g.: occupations). These often relate to structures such as male genitalia or to conditions caused by hormones specific to, or most notable in, males. Some conditions that affect both men and women, such as cancer, and injury, also manifest differently in men.
