What to Check for in a Medical Check Up
December 10, 2008
Every part of your body needs to be examined every once in a while by a qualified physician. You cannot go to your family physician for everything since certain parts require certain doctors.
Your eyes should be checked by an ophthalmologist or optometrist at least once every 2 years. They will check for anything that may be hereditary along with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, glaucoma, cataract and amblyopia. Depending on if you have any of these conditions will depend on which doctor you will need to visit.
Even though we all hate the thought of going to the dreaded dentist, it is important to go for a cleaning and check up once every six months. The dentist will check for tooth decay, plaque and tartar build up and sometimes may even take x-rays. Remember, a healthy smile is a beautiful smile.
One of the most uncomfortable subjects for any man at the doctors is getting there prostates checked. I cannot stress enough how important this part of your exam is. Early detection of prostate cancer is essential to a long lively life. Although it strikes men mainly over the age of 50, it can get you even when you are young. The exam for this is uncomfortable but it is a necessary evil. Many men that are inflicted with prostate cancer may not even know it since the symptoms are so subtle.
And yes gentleman, don’t forget to have your testicles checked. Testicular cancer hits men between the ages of 15 and 34 even though it is a rare occurrence. Do a self exam at least once a year and check for pea sized lumps. If you happen to experience an ache in your groin or a heavy scrotum, see your doctor. A simple urine test or blood sample can give you a diagnosis.
Remember gentleman, it is important to practice safe sex to avoid STD’s and get your regular check ups from the proper physician. Your health is no laughing matter so take it seriously and get the right care at the right time to ensure a long and healthy life.
