Representations of masculinity in adherence to rectal examination as prevention against prostate cancer
Objective: the objective of this study is (re) thinking health actions transiting in that territory, and, in fact, such actions include the entire universe of feelings, doubts and uncertainties that permeate male thinking when it comes to the rectal exam. Method: the method is the design of test characterized as a reflective exercise on a theme, seeking a new way of looking at the subject. Results: masculinity is constructed by the influence of the social imaginary, and cannot ignore symbolic aspects that affect the decision to take the examination. This examination does not only affect the prostate, it touches on the symbolism of the aspects of what is "being a man". Conclusion: it is for health professionals to understand what happens in the "man's world" in order to think about health actions to reduce morbidity and mortality rates of this disease that has been affecting the health and quality of life of men.
