Once you hit 50, its time to start taking your examines seriously. “An annual physical exam is not simply a time for doctors to examine men for obvious or hidden illness,” says Dr. Gary Dorshimer, an internist at Pennsylvania Hospital in Phila-delphia. “It’s also an opportunity to discuss symptoms to look for and the importance of preventative care.”
Beginning at age 50, risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses greatly increases, he says. Besides an annual physical exam that includes blood pressure screening, several routine tests can help 50+ men maintain good health.
Come on men, it's worth it.
