6 Tests All Men Need


by: Seth Czarnecki

Most men are more likely to get a tune-up for their car than they are a checkup for themselves. While the stereotype may be true in many instances, those who go to the doctor for regular visits tend to have longer, healthier lives.  Here, six tests every male should undergo so you don't let your health take a backseat.

  • Prostate exams. Prostate cancer is second only to skin cancer when it comes to the most common cancers found in men. The good news is that it's highly preventable. Be sure to receive both a Digital Rectal Exam and a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test.
  • Colonoscopy. According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer claims nearly 100,000 lives each year. Although this number may seem daunting, it has been dropping steadily. Doctors attribute this fact to improvements in testing, especially in the colonoscopy. If you're 50 or older, see your doctor about undergoing one as soon as possible.
