When people suffer from a traumatic brain injury or a stroke, often times their eyesight is one of the fist and most severely affected areas. For the most part, doctors believed this damage to be permanent and untreatable, until the introduction of a new form of therapy, called Nova Vision.

I have previously written on the recent studies being performed on patients suffering from traumatic brain injuries and new hope with a commonly used pregnancy hormone, progesterone, as a source of treatment for their injury. A story out yesterday through ABC News provides further proof that this drug could be highly beneficial when treating sufferers of TBIs.

I found an article this past weekend on a solider detailing his struggles to return to civilian life after his tour in Iraq, and the diseases that remain with him. After returning home from war last year, AJ Jefferson is now faced with nightmares, post-traumatic stress disorder, and a traumatic brain injury, which leaves him with many sleepless nights and memory loss.

No matter how much you know about men’s health, there’s always room to know more about ways to a better lifestyle, the top men’s health concerns, and the importance of getting medical care and regular screening tests. Many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented and treated if they are diagnosed early.
While the life-expectancy gap between men and women has shrunk to five years, the narrowest since 1946, it is no secret that men still need to pay more attention to their bodies. Why? Some reasons include:
-Men tend to smoke and drink more than women and generally have less healthy lifestyles.
-Men do not seek medical help as often as women.
-Men tend to join in fearless, risky, dangerous behaviors more than women.
-Men also largely define themselves by their work, which adds to stress and to being disconnected from their emotional side. This can add to problems in relationships, as well as in jobs and careers.
Women also play an important role in the health care of their men through education and awareness. Many surveys have been done to see where people get their health information. For women, it’s usually from their doctors, the television, the Internet, and printed materials. For men in these same surveys, wives, girlfriends, and/or mothers are the source of most of their health information.
The good news is that many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented and treated if they are diagnosed early. So you deserve to pay more attention to yourself! Take better care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Or if you are a woman searching for ways to help the men in your life, tell them the same.
