5 Must Have Check Ups for Every Man

Are you the type of guy that only goes to the GP when something actually feels wrong?  This is probably not the best way to go.  Taking a more preventative approach to your health and participating in more health screenings will help you catch health conditions before they get out of hand.  Preventative screenings are much better than treating something that has gotten so bad you feel symptoms of an illness.  By getting health screenings, you’ll contribute to a longer healthier life with more vitality  At Pearl Chemist Group in Morden, we believe strongly that prevention is better than cure.

Men, stop at our private clinic where we offer numerous health checks for you.  Here are what we consider the top 5 health check ups for men.

Cholesterol screenings for heart issues - Cholesterol can be a silent killer.  With just a simple blood test, we can assess your cholesterol levels and provide advice as to what to do if it is too high.  If you have genetic predispositions for high cholesterol and heart disease, this health check should be high on your list.  No age is too young to start keeping track.

Risk assessment test for diabetes - a number of factors and assessed and taken into consideration during an in-person assessment.  During this time, your risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes is assessed.  The outcome could end up requiring a lifestyle change in order to decrease your risks.

Blood pressure measurement - blood pressure is a contributing factor to several illnesses including heart attack and stroke.  Many people do not monitor their blood pressure.  This should be an active part of your regular health assessment, especially if there is any familial risk for heart attack or stroke.

HIV Screening - HIV screening should be performed regularly whether you are married or single, so long as you are sexually active or in a group that includes risk factors, such as I.V. drug users.  Those who are HIV positive tend to require a great deal of lifestyle changes and medications management.

Routing screenings for STD/STI - if you are a sexually active male, this should be a no-brainer.  You should be popping in for a screening between partners, prior to engaging sexually with new partners and if you have several partners, then at regular intervals.
Men’s health is as important as women’s health.  We don’t see enough attention given to the subject.  Contact our discreet and compassionate professionals at Pearl Chemist Group to book into our Morden clinic today.
