A male wellness exam will cover the areas of men’s health that are the most important. It will cover the normal kinds of things like a vital signs check and blood work to ensure that those are in normal ranges. An overall body check will be done to look at your skin as this can give indications of health problems. A check of the abdomen to check for proper digestive functions. A neurological check is done by testing reflexes and general movement. The male-specific component of the wellness check is the things that men seem to dread the most, prostate, penile, testicular, and hernia exams. The check of the prostate will be for signs of disease. The penis check will look for ulcers and other concerns. The testicular component will check for cancer. The hernia check is the good old turn your head and cough. These preventive checks will keep you healthier for longer. Should a real concern arise, it is more likely to be treated early and more easily when a wellness exam is done regularly.
