Men are reluctant to seek help when it comes to health problems, according to a new survey of 2,000 men.

The survey, conducted by the Australian online health platform Mosh, found that over 75 percent of respondents dismiss medical issues instead of discussing with their general practitioners (GP). Meanwhile, nearly half of all men admit they have kept a health issue from their family and GP.
