Is men’s health different than women’s health?
Yes. There are a number of conditions that only affect men. All Day Medical Care Clinic is seasoned to ensure your body is as healthy as possible.
One of the best ways to be proactive about your health is to get an annual physical at All Day Medical Care Clinic.
During this quick and easy appointment, the dedicated team bundles up and delivers all of the relevant men’s health services you need. From there, they offer additional treatment and services as needed, including:
- Family planning
- STD testing and treatment
- Erectile dysfunction treatment
What kinds of screenings will be performed during my annual physical?
It depends on your unique risk factors. During your physical, your All Day Medical Care Clinic provider will talk with you about your personal health history, family health history, and your lifestyle.
Then, based on that information, they screen you for any conditions for which you have a heightened risk factor. Some of the most common screenings during men’s health visits include:
Blood pressure screening
High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it rarely exhibits any signs or symptoms. All Day Medical Care Clinic takes your blood pressure during each visit to their office. If your blood pressure is too high, they work with you to develop an effective, personalized treatment plan.
Cholesterol screening
Similarly, high cholesterol puts you at risk for a number of serious health conditions. Generally, your All Day Medical Care Clinic provider starts to check your cholesterol around your mid-30s.
Diabetes screening
Diabetes affects the way your body uses the sugar in your bloodstream. All Day Medical Care Clinic ensures your body is efficiently using that sugar and you’re not experiencing any blood sugar buildup, which is harmful to your health.
Prostate screening
Prostate cancer is extremely common. Nearly one in nine men will get a prostate cancer diagnosis at some point in his life.
That’s why the All Day Medical Care Clinic providers offer regular prostate checks, which can spot this serious health condition in its early stages when treatments are least invasive and most effective.
What should I expect during a men’s health visit?
In addition to the relevant screenings, your men’s health visit is an opportunity to talk about your health and wellness goals. If you have any questions you’ve been wanting to ask, your annual men’s health visit is an ideal time.
