Men's
health often take a back seat when it comes to prevention and early
detection. Researches have shown that compared to women, men are more likely
to lead less healthy lifestyles. They find it hard to
quit smoking
and alcohol. Moreover, they put off their routine checkups more often and
also delay in seeking professional medical assistance when symptoms of any
health problem arise. However, Ayurveda gives equal importance to men's
health. Hindi equivalent of the term 'Men' is 'Purusha.' One can measure the
significance given to men by Ayurveda by the fact that it treats
Purusha as soul. As far as
men's health is concerned, Ayurveda deals with causes, symptoms and herbal
remedies for low
libido, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, low sperm count and
low quantity of semen . Ayurvedic diets, healthy life style and herbs can
make men healthy and develop their resistance to fight off
diseases. Certain health
issues exclusively related to men's health have been discussed below.
