It’s Movember: Let’s Talk Men’s Health

Movember men’s health

It’s that time of year again, Movember! 

Many men are growing their iconic moustaches, running, walking, or taking on challenges for charity. But while it’s fantastic to raise awareness and funds, it’s equally important to focus on your own health.

Every year, thousands of men face preventable health issues. From prostate and testicular cancer to mental health struggles like depression and anxiety, early action and open conversations can literally save lives. Movember is the perfect reminder to take a moment for yourself and check in on your wellbeing.

Mental Health: Don’t Ignore the Signs

Men’s mental health often gets overlooked, but it’s just as important as physical health. Feeling low, withdrawn, or anxious isn’t something you should brush aside. Signs to watch out for include:

  • Feeling persistently down or withdrawn
  • Losing interest in hobbies or activities you normally enjoy
  • Struggling to sleep or concentrate
  • Experiencing feelings of hopelessness or anxiety

If you notice any of these in yourself, or in someone you care about, reach out. Even a simple “how are you really doing?” can make a huge difference.

At Oving Medical Clinic, our GPs can provide support for mental health concerns and help you access professional care in a safe, confidential environment.

You can also contact UK mental health charities:

Even a brief conversation can be a lifeline. Don’t wait to act, mental health matters as much as physical health.

Physical Health: Pay Attention to Your Body

Men are often guilty of putting off medical appointments, but keeping an eye on your physical health is crucial. Symptoms that should not be ignored include:

  • Changes in urination (frequency, flow, or discomfort)
  • Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
  • Testicular lumps or pain
  • Chest pain or breathlessness
  • Persistent low mood or loss of motivation 

Even if you feel healthy, it’s always worth getting checked. At Oving Medical Clinic, we aim to make healthcare easy with same-day appointments and no long waits, so you can take control without the hassle.
