UPMC Doctor: Important Screenings to Remember this Men’s Health Month
Shivraj Goyal, M.D.
Internal Medicine, UPMC
We celebrate dads during the month of June for Father’s Day, but did you know that it’s also the month dedicated to men’s health awareness? Beyond just fathers, all men should take this opportunity to reflect on their health and wellness. An easy first step is to help get them started with an idea of what screenings to keep in mind per their stage in life. Being proactive in the maintenance of health will help keep your loved ones around with a high quality of life.
Any Age
Before delving into each stage and screenings to expect, it’s important to keep lifestyle factors and family history in mind. Things like diet, activity level, plus alcohol and tobacco intake can affect your physician’s suggestions on when to expect certain examinations down the line. Your family history is especially important, as it may mean that these examinations should occur earlier for you personally compared to the average male. For example, if your father has a history of colon cancer, you may start colorectal screenings at the age of 35 instead of the usual 45.
At any age, your mental well-being should be at the forefront of your health concerns. Keep in mind that if you’re experiencing any symptoms of anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issues, it is important to seek professional help sooner rather than later.
