Men are often less likely to go to the doctor—but preventive care saves lives. Routine
screenings can detect health problems early, when they’re most treatable. Here are five
screenings every man should know about:
1. Blood Pressure Check
High blood pressure often has no symptoms but increases heart disease and stroke risk.
Regular checks are a must.
2. Cholesterol & Blood Sugar Tests
These simple tests reveal your risk for diabetes and heart disease, two leading causes of illness
in men.
3. Prostate Health Screening
Depending on age and risk factors, prostate exams and PSA testing help detect early signs of
prostate cancer.
4. Colon Cancer Screening
Recommended starting at age 45. Colonoscopies and other tests can catch precancerous
changes before they spread.
5. Mental Health Check-In
Depression and anxiety often go unnoticed in men. An honest conversation with your doctor can
be just as important as any physical test.
Preventive screenings empower men to stay healthier, longer. Don’t wait for
symptoms—be proactive.
