Time to talk?
It’s time to speak up about TD. Results from a Grünenthal commissioned UK survey found that men are reluctant to speak to their partners about their health or visit a GP if they have symptoms of low testosterone.
UK testosterone deficiency (TD) awareness survey of 1,000 men and 1,000 women aged 55+ revealed…
Men are reluctant to speak to partners about their physical or mental health
Few men would visit a doctor if they had symptoms of TD
The majority of women would encourage partners to seek medical advice
Only 23% of men regularly speak with partners about physical and mental health5
Fewer than 1 in 4 (22%) would speak to partners about TD symptoms5
Men would rather do the weekly shop or sort their finances than book a GP appointment to discuss health concerns5
Despite these gaps in awareness and discussion about key health topics like testosterone deficiency, 70% of men and 77% of women feel more needs to be done to encourage men to seek medical advice if they suspect TD5
