Founder of Men’s Health Downunder journeys across Australia to tackle mental health stigmaMen's Health Downunder Founder Brad Butt says he is travelling around Australia to 'create more awareness' around men's health and mental health. 'During COVID, we know that a lot of guys didn't get into their GP to get their regular blood checks done, and prostate cancer affects about 24,000 men annually... it's the largest cancer of males in Australia,' Mr Butt told Sky News Australia. 'We know that guys survive for years afterwards, which means not only are they left with scars from their cancer, but some of the mental health concerns... can be really bothersome for them, and they don't know where to go to get help. 'Men typically don't talk about their health as well as women do, and when it comes to urological health... men are even less likely to talk about it, so it's really important that the guys go out and get checked. 'I guess what we're doing is raising awareness and talking to the guys about life after prostate cancer or with prostate cancer; you can live a very happy, full life with it.'
