Kidney diseases are three times more common in men than in women in the country, said Abbas Basiri, head of the Association of Urology. “Urinary stones and prostate cancer are the most common diseases in men but unfortunately many patients start treatment too late,” Khabaronline quoted him as saying. National Men’s Health Day is observed on February 25 and the association has planned different programs on the occasion to raise men’s awareness about preventable health problems and to encourage early detection and treatment of diseases. Also, free visits to urologists on this day will be offered across the country.
