👨‍⚕️ June is Men’s Health Month.

Men often delay seeking medical care and discussing symptoms openly — and similar delays can happen with pulmonary hypertension.

Although PH is more common in women, studies suggest men with PH face significantly higher mortality rates. This highlights the need for earlier recognition, diagnosis, and a better understanding of sex-based differences in PH care.

This June, make your health a priority: listen to your body, talk to your healthcare provider, and don’t wait when something doesn’t feel right.
