It's Not Just for Women: Importance of Men's Health Screening
There are a number of routine tests that physicans should recommend for their mature male patients. These tests are intended to detect warning signals for serious health problems. Early diagnosis is often the key to the improved chances of survival and improved quality of life. According to Philip Hagen, M.D., a specialist in preventive medicine at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, "You need to get the appropriate screening done. Each visit gives you an opportunity to talk with your doctor about your health behaviors � and about life in general. It's important for you to establish a working relationship with a doctor in the event something is found." For additional information regarding men's health screening issues, the Mayo Clinic provides recommendations for specific tests. For the complete article, visit Mayo Clinic.
