Dental examination
Dentists should check the age of teeth, the health of gums, tongue and mouth, and whether there is oral cancer at least once a year. Smokers and people who chew tobacco should be examined more often.
Measure blood pressure
If you are over 50 years old, you should have an annual check-up. If you have a family history of high blood pressure, heart disease or sudden heart attack, or if you are diabetic or overweight, you should also have an annual check-up.
Cholesterol test
Blood tests can check cholesterol levels and help you assess the risk of coronary heart disease. You should have an annual check-up from the age of 20. If your cholesterol level is higher than normal (reading between 80/50 and 130/85 is considered normal) or your family has a history of coronary heart disease, you should ask your doctor if more frequent tests are needed.
Colon examination
Physical examination mainly begins at the age of 50. If the result is normal, it is usually checked once every 3 to 5 years. If you have a family history of polyps, colon cancer and ulcerative colitis, you should check more.
examination of prostate
Prostate specific antigen test (PSA) measures a series of protein hidden in blood. If the test result is higher than the normal level, it may indicate that there is cancer in the body.
Testicular examination
Doctors suggest to check the testicles for abnormal changes or growth every month, but this cannot replace the professional examination of doctors. The earlier testicular cancer is diagnosed, the easier it is to cure. Men between the ages of 15 and 35 should have a testicular examination at least every 2 to 3 years.
Doctors sometimes don't do this test automatically. If there is no such item or other items listed in this article at the time of physical examination, you should ask for testing yourself.
Urinary system examination
Male urinary system is prone to inflammation, and early diagnosis and treatment have great influence on prognosis, so regular physical examination should be carried out.
