Why should a man get regular tests? 🧐
Usually you go for tests when you have the urge. When your doctor prescribes it. But in a good way, by getting tests regularly and in advance, you can:
1️⃣ prevent chronic disease;
Diabetes and atherosclerosis develop gradually and are reflected in the tests.
2️⃣ suspect cancer at an early stage;
For example, the prostate cancer cancer marker, PSA blood test, should be taken by all men 40+ every year.
3️⃣ know your norms and references.
Because every body is different: what is normal for you will turn out to be abnormal for another. And doctors can say for years that everything is fine, but for you it's no longer the norm.
