Movember is back again this year and men across the world will be growing moustaches to help raise awareness of men’s health issues.

Men can be reluctant to take action with their health but the Movember campaign aims to change this by highlighting risks and encourgaing more men to take action. 

There’s lots that you can do to reduce risks of common health problems. Whether you’re wanting to quit smoking, lose weight, get more active, de-stress, talk to someone about your sexual healh or simply feel better in yourself - Wirral Community NHS Trust has services that can help you live well. 

By improving your general health you can reduce the risk of more serious illness. However, if you are concerned about a specific health matter talk to your GP straight away. For many diseases early detection is vital. You know your body better than anyone, so if you feel something is not right, don’t wait.

Symptoms you should never ignore include:

  • a lump on your testicle
  • unusual changes to moles
  • depression 
  • trouble urinating
  • impotence.

Your lifestyle dramatically influences your health and we know that making changes can seem like a real challenge but with friendly, non-judgemental and convenient support you’ll find it’s a lot easier than you think.
