Don’t just talk footy, talk about your ‘tackle’
Andrology Australia, the country’s peak authority on male reproductive health, is urging men to seek help when it comes to ‘the bits below the belt’ and not just hope their symptoms will go away.
“Every year, thousands of men suffer in silence because they are too embarrassed to talk to their doctor about sensitive issues,” Andrology Australia Director Professor Rob McLachlan said.
“Most men are happy talking about the footy, but the lead up to International Men’s Health Week (June 11 – 17) is a great time to remind men that it is OK to talk about their ‘tackle’ – those bits below the belt.”
This year, Andrology Australia has produced brochures and posters to help community organisations and health services promote International Men’s Health Week, and normalise the discussion of male reproductive health.
The resources give ‘tackle tips’ and encourage men to see their ‘tackle coach’ – their GP – for a regular check up to make sure their reproductive health is on track.
