Men are notoriously ignorant about their health. A simple "I'll be fine" is often a respond to health problems. It seems to be part of the masculine culture, and it needs to be adjusted. We want to heighten men’s awareness of the many preventable diseases and health problems out there, and encourage them to get screenings, detect issues early, as well as receiving treatment accordingly.
Here are a few important checkups and screening that men should know about:
- Know your blood pressure numbers.
- Screen for hemorrhoids, colon and prostate cancers via rectal exams
- Check your colorectal health every 3-4 years starting at age 50
- Have blood test and urinalysis to screen for diabetes, kidney or thyroid dysfunctions, cholesterol issues, and other illnesses
- Quit smoking if you are a smoker and a chest x-ray as soon as possible because lung cancer tends to spread very quickly.
Tell your dad, your grandfather, your brother, your friends, about their need to be aware of their own health, and they can do many things to keep their health in great shape with screenings and early detection.
