Dr Hilary Jones urges men to 'get over' embarrassment of doctors as he shares major health concerns

TV doctor Hilary Jones has urged men to "get over" the embarrassment of going to the doctor as he shares the most common problems affecting them. To mark Men's Health Week, Dr Jones has been speaking to The Mirror about the biggest health concerns currently faced by men.

They include heart disease, cancer and mental health, with suicide being the most common cause of death among men under 45. He said: "Men do bottle up their feelings, they don't talk about their emotions like women are able to do so, and often people don't notice when a guy is seriously anxious or depressed and that's something we need to be more aware of."

He discussed how heart disease is something doctors are seeing much more of due to "more inactivity and more obesity" It's a "major problem" he admits.
