Arnold J. Willis, associate clinical professor of urology at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., says Monroe's reluctance to see a doctor is typical of men.He says Monroe's willingness to talk about his urinary problems will help other men.

"If a person of such stature, a hero to many men, is speaking openly about it, I think it opens the door to men being more comfortable and more capable of communicating with their physicians," Willis says, "and more importantly going to their physician to begin with.
