男人不愿和医生谈的话题： 性、膀胱病和臭脚
由日本山口制药公司委托进行的一项调查发现，尽管男人不愿意和医生讨论脱发、体重增加和皮肤毛病，但最不愿意与医生谈论的问题是“腰带以下”的问题。
英国和欧洲男性认为，见医生时，涉及性方面毛病、膀胱问题和臭脚最令人尴尬。这一现象在英国十分普遍，在欧洲和世界其它地方也或多或少地存在，这可能是教育方式和教育系统的结果之一。女性因为经历了妊娠和生育，对性和健康话题更为开放，但是，男性很少讨论个人的卫生、健康或性方面的问题。事实上，女性更擅长讨论各种微妙的问题。
研究人员询问了3500位英国、法国、波兰、西班牙、意大利、荷兰和德国的男性，46%的人说性毛病是最难开口的话题。与欧洲的男性相比，英国男性最不愿讨论性话题。荷兰男性最少因谈论性毛病而感到困窘，在三项最令荷兰男性脸红的话题中，精神压力名列榜首。西班牙和意大利男人更关心阳萎和性功能，而不是前列腺和膀胱问题。
根据这项调查，老年男性最关心的话题是心脏、肺和癌症；而年轻男性最关心性能力、职业和人际关系。谈论性问题的困难程度随年龄的增长而减小，但是年长男性也较缺乏前列腺的知识。仅有37%的人知道前列腺的功能是维持健康的精子，大部份男性知道前列腺位于泌尿生殖道，但是一些人认为前列腺位于胸部、脑内或消化系统中。

Sex, Bladder Problems, Smelly Feet Embarrass Men
LONDON (Reuters) - Sexual problems, weak bladders and smelly feet are the most embarrassing topics for British and European men to discuss with their doctors, according to a survey released on Tuesday.
Hair loss, weight gain and skin conditions also make men uneasy, but ``below the belt‘‘ problems are by far the most difficult issues to share with health professionals, according to results of the survey commissioned by the Japanese pharmaceutical firm Yamanouchi.

``It is a British phenomenon and to a lesser extent a European and worldwide phenomenon. It is part of the way we are brought up and our educational system,‘‘ said Mark Speakman, a urologist at Taunton and Somerset Hospital in western England.
He believes women are more open about sexual and health issues because of their experiences in pregnancy and childbirth. But men seldom discuss personal hygiene, health or sexual difficulties.

``We shouldn‘t be surprised that men are so bad. It‘s the fact that women are so good at discussing delicate issues,‘‘ Speakman added.
Forty-six percent of the 3,500 men questioned in Britain, France, Poland, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany said sex was the most difficult topic to talk about.
Some 25% of the men said they were uncomfortable discussing bladder problems, and 24% of men said smelly feet was the most embarrassing topic.

British men were more reluctant than their European counterparts to discuss sexual topics. Men from the Netherlands were the least embarrassed about sex, but listed stress among their top three red-faced issues--instead of smelly feet.
Older men said heart and lung disease and cancer were their most serious concerns, while younger men rated sexual potency, careers and relationships as serious concerns, according to the survey.
, 百拇医药 Spanish and Italian men were more concerned about impotency and sexual performance than about prostate and bladder problems.
Difficulty talking about sexual issues seemed to diminish with age, but older men also displayed a lack of knowledge about the prostate gland.
Only 37% knew the prostate gland maintains healthy sperm. Most of the men knew it was found in the genitourinary tract but some thought it was in the chest, brain or digestive system.
``If men discussed problems with each other in the pub, instead of football and motor cars, there would be no reluctance to talk to doctors,‘‘ Speakman said., 百拇医药
