Aortic dissection of the abdomen<\/strong><\/p>\nMen who have ever smoked tobacco and are between the ages of 65 and 75 should be checked for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.<\/p>\n
The presence, size and extent of an aortic aneurysm can be determined with the use of an imaging test such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. This aortic bulging\u2019s main risk factor is a rupture that might cause serious or deadly internal haemorrhage.<\/p>\n
Blood Cholesterol<\/strong><\/p>\nMen who are 35 years of age or older should routinely get their blood cholesterol levels examined. Men should get their cholesterol euated considerably earlier at the age of 20 especially if they smoke, are overweight or obese, have a relative who had a heart attack before the age of 50, have diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease. There are several ways to euate cholesterol and each one is significant in euating the risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n
Hypertension<\/strong><\/p>\nMen should have their blood pressure monitored frequently, and those who have additional cardiovascular risk factors should have it checked more frequently. You may do this in your doctor\u2019s office. The greatest risk factor for heart disease and a substantial risk factor for other serious medical disorders is high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Intestinal Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\nBy the age of 50, all males should get a colorectal (colon or rectal) cancer screening. A colonoscopy should be scheduled even earlier for people with a family history of colorectal cancer. Although there are other diagnostics that can help identify colon cancer, colonoscopy is still the most effective method.<\/p>\n
Diabetes <\/strong><\/p>\nMen who use medication to lower their blood pressure or who have high blood pressure should get checked for diabetes (high blood sugar). Anyone who has symptoms like an extreme thirst that doesn\u2019t go away, frequent urination, sudden weight loss, increased appetite or tingling in the hands or feet should speak to their doctor about getting tested. A blood test that assesses your average blood sugar over the last three months is the best method for diabetes screening.<\/p>\n
HIV<\/strong><\/p>\nRegardless of perceived dangers, all males aged 65 and under should get euated for HIV.<\/p>\n
Prostate cancer<\/strong><\/p>\nFor prostate cancer, patients who choose to screen often get the two tests listed below:-<\/p>\n
\u2013 A doctor does a digital rectal examination (DRE) by inserting a finger into the rectum to check for lumps or enlargement of the prostate gland.<\/p>\n
-Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test: Men with prostate cancer may have high blood levels of this protein; which is generated by the prostate gland.<\/p>\n
