Survey Finds Men Don't Talk About their Family Health History Risks 3

Caption

Doctors Jamin Brahmbhatt and Sijo Parekattil, urologists at Orlando Health, say knowing your family health history is a crucial part of prevention. A new survey found that 4 out of 5 men have never talked to a family member about sexual health, and that women under the age of 34 are 90% more likely to talk to relatives, not just about sexual health, but also cancer and mental illness.
