The focus on men's health: Mayor Tschann supports Movember

in Bludenz, November is not only known for the falling temperatures, but also for a special initiative that puts men's health in the spotlight. The "Movember" campaign is pending in which men grow a mustache in order to draw attention to health issues. Mayor Simon Tschann is again part of this movement and sets a sign of more mindfulness.

"The mustache is a visible sign of men's health and reminds that preventive and research can save lives," says Tschann. This initiative emphasizes the importance of early detection of prostate cancer, one of the most common types of cancer in men. Around 7,000 cases were diagnosed in Austria as early as 2022, which illustrates the urgency of the topic.

Movember - a Tradition

Every year in November the mustache sprouts, a sign that men become active. The tradition in which the participants carry mustache goes back to Australia and has now become a worldwide phenomenon. Mayor Tschann is supported by Apo Atalay, a master hairdresser from Bludenz. Tschann also wants to illustrate his message with a well -styled schnauzer: "Movember is more than just a fashion statement - it is a strong sign of solidarity."

In order to draw attention to prostate cancer, the importance of precaution is also pointed out. Men aged 45 and aged 45 have been encouraged to use regular preventive examinations, whereby a PSA test can offer important information on possible diseases. This examination is carried out by a blood acceptance and is particularly recommended for men with family pre -stories from the age of 40.

The "Movember Foundation" organizes this action and enables the participants to collect donations for health research. The proceeds flow into preventive measures and into research to improve the health of men. If you want to learn more about the campaign and the necessary provision, you can at www.gesundheitkasse.at and www.krebshilfe.net inform.

The motivation behind Movember is clear: men should actively deal with their health and stimulate prevention. Participation in the campaign and wearing a mustache are an expression of a joint commitment to a serious topic. While the entire month is all about men's health, initiatives like this invite you to stimulate talks, and encourage men not only to grow, but also to take care of their own health.
