Most men don’t like doctor’s appointments. Perhaps you’ve noticed this before, but didn’t give it some thought. Well, it is time to uncover the secrets that men keep about their health.
It’s really sad that men tend to hide medical information from their families. Their reasons can vary. Some men simply want others to think that their silent and strong, rather than less manly or weak by having regular visits to a medical professional.
Here are the secrets that you should know about men and their health:
Secret #1 – Halitosis or Bad Breath
This is surely a big turn off especially for ladies. Most of the time, it will kill a supposed to be wonderful date, or destroy a man’s chance of meeting the girl that he will spend the rest of his life with.
It is said that around 85% of the entire human population has bad breath, and it’s unfortunate if your man belongs to that percentage. So, what should be done to get rid of this stinky smell from your man’s mouth? Easy, accompany him as you visit your dentist. In that way, he won’t get offended nor feel ashamed of his situation. Also, you can give him breath gums and mints or mouthwash for extra fresh breath.
Secret #2 – Aging
Men always wish they were 25. They love looking back from the past and remember the freedom of being a youth. Most of them would even reminisce the times when life for them was easy and free from any responsibility. They believe that at 25, every man can do everything a man in his 40s cannot do. They will resort to plastic surgeries like botox in order to look 25 years old again.
Hence, never be surprised that when you ask them about their age, they’ll throw another question, or never answer at all.
Secret #3 – Memory loss
Men become forgetful with age. Perhaps you’re already familiar with memory loss, and admit it or not, a lot of men don’t want to talk about it. In fact, men tend to disregard this health condition because it also confirms aging.
Getting adequate evaluation from a medical professional is vital because memory loss is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other relevant conditions.
If you really love your man, you should be aware of the things that bother him. Though men are uncomfortable in talking about the three secrets mentioned above, it is up to you to break the silence. Showing your unconditional love is one of the best ways to get your man to talk.
Don’t just ‘blow’ the whistle. You have to pick the right place and time to talk about these health problems. It is significant that you let him know that you are aware of his health concerns or problems, and that you understand. It’s best to talk about these health secrets when the two of you are alone. Try to avoid any distraction because men don’t open up easily.
You can talk inside the bedroom to get the privacy you need. Make him feel that your support and love is present all the way. You can even accompany him when visiting the doctor. Your first aim is to have your man open up about the subject, and from there, you can work out a plan.
