Gender equality between males and females is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that the nation must address. However, compared to women, the health status of men lags. The objectives are to describe and summarize the factors influencing men's health-seeking behaviour in various health problems from published literature. Methods: The literature search was performed using online databases in Scopus, Web of Science and ScienceDirect. Findings: In a total of 22 studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria, the factors identified were predisposing factors (socio-demographic, health belief), enabling factors (healthcare services and facilities, alternative medicine, social support), and need factors (perceived need). Keywords: Men; Health-seeking; Factors; Review eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA cE-Bs by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK.
