The Press Association reports that men are too shy to seek health advice in general, and particularly when it comes to anything personal or embarrassing.
Of those surveyed, 22% of adult men said they would ignore symptoms of lice rather than admit to a pharmacist they had the problem.
A further 18% were too embarrassed to speak to their pharmacist even if they feared they had a sexually-transmitted infection such as genital warts or herpes, in the hope the condition would simply disappear.
The article also states that a significant percentage of men would rather have unprotected sex because they are too embarrassed to buy condoms.
