Aging, lifestyle choices, environment and genetics all play a role in how our health needs change as we age. But one often-overlooked factor in our health journeys is gender. Most health issues affect us similarly across the board—but there are a few that are more commonly (or only) experienced by men. That’s why we’re going to celebrate Men’s Health Month by highlighting common health issues, symptoms to watch for and potential misconceptions about men’s health. Let’s test your men’s-health knowledge with a quick quiz.
Schedule a Teladoc appointment online or by app 24/7 to speak with a Teladoc doctor to stay on top of your health as you age.
