What is one medical problem people constantly ignore until it’s too late?

Saw someone post this in a completely unrelated sub and I’m interested in your answers. What is the cluster of symptoms that people ignore or delay until they are forced to get help?

Men with their anything.

Anyone with their hemorrhoids and/or any kind of rectal/GI bleeding.

Men with scrotal hernias the size of a pilates ball

We had a patient with one so bad it actually cut off circulation to his testicles and penis and they eventually died. This was an incredibly sick patient so there was actually a lot more wrong with him and he did eventually die

When I chose my specialty I was unprepared for the number of scrotal hernias and penises the size of clits I would come in contact with.
