A survey conducted by Everyman in 2006 revealed that only 28% of men check their testicles regularly for signs of testicular cancer. A similar survey conducted by Everyman a few years ago also revealed that only 19% of men checked their testicles regularly.
So whilst the number of men checking themselves regularly remains low, there are signs that awareness in men is increasing.
The Everyman Campaign is doing a lot to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer with both men and women.
What Women Can Do To Help
Women play a big part in educating men about male cancer. A recent survey conducted by Everyman found that almost 50% of men would feel most comfortable talking to their wife, girlfriend or partner if they were worried about testicular cancer.
Women are often the ‘gate-keepers’ to men’s health, encouraging the men within their families to be self aware and also to visit their GP if any symptoms do arise.
Below are a few ways that you can help the men in your life:
1.Find out the facts about testicular cancer and prostate cancer and make the men in your life aware too.
2.Check your partner’s testicles! Often women will notice symptoms before men, particularly for testicular cancer.
3.Support us through fundraising activity or encourage the men in your life to get involved.
Cosmopolitan magazine is helping to raise awareness of male cancer by running its celebrity naked male centrefold features in conjunction with Everyman each month.
Past centrefolds include Sol Campbell, David James, Simon Jones and Jack Osbourne.
