Men's Health Week

Mens Health Week is June 10-16 this year.http://www.menshealthnetwork.org/library/menshealthfacts.pdf

When you read the statistic that says women are 100% more likely to visit their doctor for annual exams than men at http://www.menshealthnetwork.org/library/menshealthfacts.pdf, it sounds like many men don’t see their doctors as they should. How often should a man see his doctor for a physical exam?  It depends on his age and his physical health status.  For suggested checkups and screenings see the Men’s Health Network at http://www.menshealthnetwork.org/library/getitcheckedpostermen.pdf

Five important health risks for men are high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high PSA levels and low testosterone. I will briefly discuss these five health risks the next few days.
