Men's health anxieties27 Oct 2006
For years women have been used to a constant stream of health advice. Hardly a day passes without us being told to keep an eye open for another potential symptom of a terrible illness.

One leading medical expert is warning that we are now in danger of whipping up the same hysteria about men’s health. So are men in danger of being besieged by needless anxieties, or do all of the warnings and prevention programmes really help save lives?

Martha talks to Michael Baum, Professor of Surgery at UCL and Jim Pollard from the Men's Health Forum.
