To your family, you’re invincible. You carry the weight of their worlds on your shoulders. You help them defeat the monsters under the bed.
But real strength isn’t about pushing through, it’s about knowing when you need to protect yourself.
When it comes to your health, sometimes waiting until something doesn’t feel right isn’t the best approach. Issues can build up over time, causing more symptoms and making treatment harder.
Health conditions that commonly affect men include:
Back problems affect around 16.4% of Australian men.
And while you may not think your back problems are a big issue now, 72% of people with back problems live with one or more other chronic conditions.
Plus, back problems can have a big impact on your life, increasing pain, decreasing activity and reducing your participation in social and work activities.*
Acute coronary events (including heart attack and unstable angina) occurred 2.2 times more in men than women in 2023.*
On top of that, stroke occured 1.4 times as much in males than females.**
Knowing the symptoms, your risk and getting regular checks is vital to protecting your heart health.
Lung cancer was the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia in 2021.* And is often diagnosed at the later stages when treatment is more difficult. Regular checks (whether you have symptoms or not) can help you find things before they become big issues.
Prostate cancer made up 28% of all cancer diagnoses in Australian men in 2024.*
While prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers, the good news is that when prostate cancer is found early, the survival rate is 96%.**
Conditions such as testicular cancer and varicoceles can significantly impact your health.
Testicular cancer is more common in younger men, and is the second most commonly diagnose cancer for men aged 20-39 (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).*
Osteoporosis isn’t just a concern for women. Men are also at risk, particularly as they age and the bones naturally lost their strength.
While you’re a hero in your household, our team are heroes when it comes to your health. Using x-ray vision, ultrasonic capabilities and the latest technology, they’re here to support you.
Whether you need a scan to investigate the cause of your symptoms, or are looking to reduce your pain with our interventional procedures, our medical imaging services can help you understand your symptoms, find a diagnosis and access the treatment you need.
Early diagnosis of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. For example, prostate cancer detected at an early stage has a much higher survival rate compared to cases diagnosed at a later stage.
Routine screenings and early diagnosis allow for the identification of potential health issues before they become serious. This proactive approach can prevent the development of chronic conditions, leading to better overall health and quality of life.
Early detection and treatment of health issues can greatly enhance a man’s quality of life. Managing conditions early helps prevent symptoms from becoming severe and allows men to maintain a more active and fulfilling lifestyle. This includes being able to engage in physical activities, maintain social connections, and continue working without the burden of untreated health problems.
Caring for your health has a wider impact. It supports the people who depend on you. From everyday routines to important milestones, your wellbeing helps keep you present for those moments.
