Mens Health FAQ’s

Men’s health focuses on the specific health needs and conditions that affect men. It includes preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions that are more prevalent or unique to men, such as prostate health, erectile dysfunction, and male-specific cancers. Men’s health is different because it addresses the physiological and psychological differences between men and women, ensuring that men receive tailored care that considers their unique health risks and lifestyle factors.

Men should have routine health check-ups at least once a year. These check-ups allow for early detection and management of potential health issues, ensuring that men maintain optimal health. Depending on age, family history, and existing health conditions, some men might need more frequent visits. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring vital signs, screening for diseases, and receiving personalised health advice.

For men over 50, the following screenings are typically recommended:

  1. Prostate Cancer Screening: Includes a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test and possibly a digital rectal exam.
  2. Colorectal Cancer Screening: Colonoscopy or other colorectal cancer tests to detect early signs of cancer or polyps.
  3. Heart Health Check: Regular blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, and assessment of cardiovascular risk factors.
  4. Diabetes Screening: Blood glucose tests to detect prediabetes or diabetes.
  5. Bone Density Test: Especially for men with risk factors for osteoporosis.
  6. Eye and Hearing Exams: To monitor vision and hearing changes that may occur with age.
  7. Skin Cancer Screening: Examination of the skin for any unusual moles or changes.

These screenings help in early detection and management of health conditions, enhancing the quality of life and longevity for men over 50.
