Preventive care is an essential part of the United States healthcare system, with its main goal is to reduce the occurrence of infectious and non -communicable diseases.
The distinctive feature of preventive care is its goal to prevent diseases from occurring, which in turn reduces the spread if it is infectious. Unfortunately, men do not interact with primary or preventive care to the level they should, and this leads to a high mortality rate in most diseases (Baker, 2021). This is not a single cause, the barriers in front of men who interact with multi -faceted preventive care and appear throughout the United States. Some of the possible causes of low use of preventive care in men lies largely in the stigma of social shame, lack of confidence in healthcare professionals, and a sense of violation.
These issues also intersect for men with large -scale barriers such as access to health care, quality and costs that make men less likely to demand.
Moreover, the stigma of social shame and traditional sexual standards are some of the largest barriers for men looking for preventive care and primary care.
Most men are socially pressured in dealing with their issues on their own or to avoid seeking help. If they are asking for help, they face fear that they will be seen as “weak” by others. Many men avoid facing this fear either consciously or still conscious by avoiding treatment and/or refusing to detect the symptoms of healthcare professionals. Social stigmators that were inherent in most men because they were children, causing most men to care so that they could not. Many of these social pressures come from the inside and the most difficult to address. Since many men will seek health care when they can no longer ignore their symptoms, the purpose of preventive care is lost.
As a result, delaying or missing treatment by preventive services, the disease or condition will be more difficult to treat (Powell et al., 2019).
Besides the stigma of social shame, there are regular barriers in preventive efforts that have affected men negatively and have only exacerbated over recent years.
In an attempt to capture women’s health, there was excessive compensation for the preventive resources for women, which led to a final gap in the preventive services of men (Baker, 2021). With more and more preventive ads as well as interventions that target other than men, many men are left behind and ignored. A mixture of men who interact with lower preventive services and preventive services that do not focus on men, which is the SIS effect of preventive care that is not downloaded.
The creation of spaces where men feel comfortable sharing their experiences and enhancing the prevention that focuses on male health more and more as these variations become more clear in the eyes of the disease statistics.
The patient’s patient’s confidence is forever with men, you must deal with professionals who extend sympathy differently when dealing with male patients.
These sexual peculiarities should be processed in the education of the current patients.
In addition, American men of African descent suffer from the lack of confidence in medical professionals at an increasing level compared to non -black men (Powell et al., 2019). The American history of black men who are lying by their doctors has deep roots and is absolutely present in the current African population. The intersection of men who are not looking for preventive care and black individuals who do not trust their doctors have increased the possibility of black men to avoid preventive care. It is clear from the repercussions of this intersection by black men who have the lowest average life expectancy among all other population in the United States (Powell et al., 2019). Regular issues affect the two black men of preventive services that reject men and a health care system who have years of racism rooted in their foundations. The realization of this rapprochement between preventive barriers is necessary for all advanced intervention designs.
Moreover, medical lack of confidence is something that cannot be ignored in order to help reduce the current contrast of the expected age between men and women. Starting with the educational preparation of public health students, medical students, and all future healthcare professionals is one of the strategy to address the current lack of confidence and gap in patient care.
Deep methodological problems should be uprooted and discussed early on medical professionals to provide improved care in the direction of the river.
One point of insecurity for men lies in sexual health.
The idea that a man will ask for treatment for sexual health may provide him as the least male in the eyes of society. Men who are diagnosed with prostate, bladder, colon and rectal cancer may suffer from an increased feeling of self -doubt. Commitment to treatment depends largely on the patient, and if the patient feels uncomfortable to treat treatment or prevention, there is a smaller opportunity than participating in prevention or treatment (ZHU & Witmann, 2022). The examination of these cancers and awareness of antiquities has reached most of the American male population. Now the death rate decreases with increased rates of infection, which means that more men deal with psychological and social symptoms related to cancer diagnosis (ZHU & Witmann, 2022). The psychological psychological effect can exacerbate physical symptoms such as erectile dysfunction and al -Michaimah, which can push self -confidence to patients beyond negativity, which leads to more fear of stigma.
Socially, many men are under pressure to be confident of their sexual lives, and they have a disease related to this that can seriously affect their recovery and commitment to prevention.
In addition, the fear of gay or gay phobia will lead to the wardening of those who seek help for HIV.
To clarify, HIV (HIV) is paired with a large social bond that only occurs in gay men. This stereotype is largely due to HIV and AIDS (HIV) that occurred in the 1980s. In the eighties of the last century, the wrong information about HIV/AIDS residing in gay men was only spread throughout the country and led to many people avoiding treatment due to fear of persecution. HIV -surrounding history had successive effects that still affect the patient’s treatment today. For discussion, current prevention drugs are not used as a result of this social stigma (Pleuhs et al., 2020). One of these drugs is called pre -exposure (Prep) and is able to prevent HIV infection. Increasing the output of this drug is important for anyone sexually active or involved in drug use in injections.
Men are largely affected by HIV as a result of the use of low low care (Pleuhs et al., 2020).
Increased awareness about HIV/AIDS virus is important to back down from the years of shame surrounding this condition and increase the use of prevention medicine.
In short, a large part of the use of health care and preventive services is due to social barriers.
These social barriers exacerbate all other cross barriers in the American health care system, African -American men, and men are part of the LGBTQ+community. It is generally noted that the protection service between men in non -infectious diseases or transmitted diseases such as cancer and HIV, but also has a lower effect on infectious diseases. This was embodied in the Koronverus 2020 virus in the pace of the Coronverus 2020 virus when, “… more men are more than women who died from Covid-19 in 41 of 47 countries (GRIFFITH ET Al., 2020). The reasons for the difference in the death rate of the disease are insecure and are parallel to other barriers in preventive care in men. These barriers must be addressed by professionals in the field of public and medical health, and creativity about systemic biases are necessary to make a change. Focus on men who have crossed obstacles to care that must be determined in the development of research and intervention.
The treatment of non -use of stretching prevention in stakeholders, such as men’s health network, can really work to change the use of medical service among men.
I think these issues have been invaded under the metaphorical carpet of the population at risk and that men have left behind them as a result.
