( -specific illnesses. Women regul...)Men Not as Tough as They Seem,Health

-specific illnesses.

"Women regularly check their breasts, so men should do the same with their testicles, " says Sommer. Testicular cancer, which affects 4,300 men annually in Germany, is treatable as long as it is detected in time.

Prostate cancer is more dangerous and is one of the most common cancers in men. The RKI says about 50,000 cases are reported annually. Sommer recommends regular check-ups starting on the 45th birthday.

Other men's diseases, like erectile dysfunction, should also be brought to a doctor's attention as soon as possible.

"Not because it's a sexual problem, but when the blood vessels leading to the penis are contracted, it can indicate a possible heart attack," Sommer says.
