If you’re a male and you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re a survivor．According to statistics, you’re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, a nine times more likely to die of AIDS．Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you’ll die on average five years before a woman．
There’re many reasons for this——typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke——but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor．
“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr．Gullotta．“This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike．
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two．For those over 45, it should be at least once a year．
“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life．”
According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group．
“A lot of men think they’re invincible,” Gullotta says．“They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, “Geez, if it could happen to him…”
Then there’s the ostrich approach．“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr．Ross Cartmill．
“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says．He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups．
Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says．“But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases．Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater, it’s called premature death．”
