As we begin the month of November, we get ready to “Grow a Mo’ to save a bro.”
You guessed it, Movember is upon us. For those of you who are not yet familiar with the Movember concept, we bring to your attention the importance of men’s health. We recognize the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding men’s health, and that’s why Movember is not just a month but a movement we wholeheartedly embrace. This is often a topic that is infrequently discussed and thus making it crucial to encourage people to spread more awareness, advocate for those grappling with health challenges and overall educate individuals globally.
What is Movember?
Movember is more than just a mustache-growing challenge; it’s an organization dedicated to men’s physical and mental well-being. Over the years, Movember has tirelessly worked towards raising awareness and advocating for issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Here are some statistics that shed light on these pressing issues that men are globally facing in today’s world.
- In Europe, 3 out of 4 suicides are by men.
- For men aged 15 to 29 globally, suicide is the leading cause of death.
- Suicide is the second leading cause of death among men aged 30-49 in Europe.
- In the UK 4,900+ Men will die by suicide each year.
- There’s no single reason why men take their own lives, but we do know that by improving overall mental health we can reduce the risk of suicide.
Prostate Cancer:
- In the UK, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with Prostate cancer in their lifetime.
- In Europe, Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men.
- 9 million men globally are living with and beyond the disease.
- In Europe, it is estimated that more than 1.5 million are estimated to be living with or beyond Prostate cancer.
- In Europe more than 375,000 men are diagnosed with Prostate cancer each year.
- Prostate cancer is the third biggest cancer killer in the UK.
- 48,500+ men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer each year in the UK.
- 11,700 men die each year due to prostate cancer in the UK.
- 333,500+ men are living with the disease in the UK.
- Men should get checked for prostate cancer from the age of 50 (This should be earlier, at 45, if you have family history or are of African descent).
- In 2018 for the first time more men died from prostate cancer than women died from breast cancer.
- Early detection = 98% chance of survival beyond 5 years.
- Late detection = 26% chance of survival beyond 5 years.
Testicular Cancer:
- In Europe, testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in young men.
- Young men aged 18 to 34 are most at risk 69% of men in that category don’t know that they’re at risk
- The number of men being diagnosed with testicular cancer has doubled over the past 50 years.
- Each year, more than 20,000 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer in Europe.
- There are 35,000+ men living with testicular cancer in the UK.
- The 95% chance of survival is no comfort to the 1 man in 20 who won’t make it.
- Men should check their testicles regularly for pain, lumps, or swelling monthly while in the shower.
In a society where men are often encouraged to be tough and resilient, showing empathy, understanding, and advocating for those struggling is a testament to true strength. Movember provides a platform to break through societal norms and unite men from all walks of life, transcending nationality, race, and financial backgrounds.
We believe that every man is susceptible to these health issues, and Movember plays a crucial role in uniting us as an international brotherhood. It’s not just about growing a mustache; it’s about creating awareness, supporting one another, and fostering a global community that educates and protects.
At Chaps and Co, we extend our commitment to helping every bro we encounter. This Movember, we encourage you to join in donating, spreading awareness, and actively participating in the fight against the pressing issues affecting men globally.
As the month unfolds, let’s come together, support Movember, and be a part of the change we wish to see. Visit www.movember.com to discover more about the Movember campaign and find ways you can contribute to the cause. Every small effort counts in combating the major health issues that continue to affect men worldwide. Let’s make Movember a month of unity, awareness, and action.
