Men’s health FAQs
Are there specific screenings I should undergo as I age?
Yes, certain screenings become more important with age.
These may include prostate cancer screenings (PSA test), colon cancer screenings (colonoscopy), and other tests to check heart health, skin (sun damage) and bone density among other things.
How often should men have check-ups?
Regular check-ups are crucial for maintaining optimal health. For most men, an annual check-up is recommended, during which our team will assess your overall health, perform necessary screenings, and discuss any concerns you may have.
Are there any circumstances or lifestyles where men should have more frequent check-ups?
Yes. Men with underlying health issues or a family history of health problems should consider more frequent check-ups.
Furthermore, men who work in dangerous environments or with hazardous materials, engage in unsafe sex, or other unsafe practices should also consider frequent check-ups.
Excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, a sedentary lifestyle and of course smoking are also choices that often result in poor health and require extra attention from health professionals.
Is it necessary to quit smoking even if I've been doing it for years?
Absolutely. Quitting smoking at any age yields significant health benefits.
It reduces the risk of numerous health issues, such as heart disease, lung disease, and cancer.
Support and resources are available to help you quit successfully.
