Movember shows that men’s health is in crisis

The people behind Movember, an annual event to raise awareness of men’s health problems, have suggested that men’s health is in crisis.

Last month, the Movember foundation created a space where men could discuss their health and get what was, for many, their first check-up.

The Movember & Co initiative used a free barber shop as a Trojan Horse to discover how well men were looking after themselves. It found that 41% of men did not check their testicles, even though testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among young Irish men aged 15 to 34.
