Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has urged men to be more upfront about their health.

While speaking during Prostate Cancer Awareness at the CWM Hospital, Sayed-Khaiyum says a lot of men get embarrassed about talking to their family about their health as they see it as not a very manly thing to do.

He says men can also have breast cancer.
