Dubai, August 25, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Men are in general very reluctant to visit the doctor, this is a longstanding and popular stereotype. Similar to women, for the best of health men should visit the doctor for an annual Health screening and be screened for certain diseases and conditions that are prevalent among men as they age.
The team of experts at Eternity Medicine Institute, a premier health screening center urges women to encourage the special men in their lives, be it husband, father, brother, son or partner to visit a reputed health screening center for an annual check-up.
Eternity makes it their priority to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment options of disease among men, so that they can live a long and healthy life, instead of being a victim to disease or be dependent on medication. “Many of the health issues that affect men are preventable, which makes these Health Screening in Dubai very important, especially at an annual screening” said a physician at Eternity. He added " Here are a few of the recommend screenings that we insist that men have".
Blood pressure - Monitoring blood pressure levels can help with early detection of hypertension or pre-hypertension. If neglected, high blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, heart failure, strokes and kidney disease.
Cholesterol - Men with high levels of cholesterol have about twice the risk of heart disease. Lowering cholesterol can reduce the risk of having a heart attack, requiring heart bypass surgery or angioplasty.
Sexually transmitted diseases - Depending on a man's lifestyle and sexual history, men should talk to their doctor about whether they should be tested for certain sexually transmitted diseases as early and timely treatment can prevent many STDs.
Diabetes - The symptoms are often mild and the disease itself can go undetected. Diabetes can cause problems with the heart, eyes, feet, kidneys, nerves, and other body parts, so it's important to keep it under control.
Prostate Cancer - This type of cancer is the most common in men and if it's detected early its curable. Age is a big risk factor for prostate cancer as many as 70 percent of all men are diagnosed at age 65 or older.
Colorectal Cancer - This cancer too, if it's detected early, is one of the most curable cancers. A colon screening provides both diagnosis and treatment, since any polyps found are removed and analyzed as part of the exam.
“All of these tests emphasizes the importance of visiting a physician and having a regular health screening and a checkup,” said the physician. “With our patients, we often keep a tab on the age and what screenings are needed, as well as a patient's family history and possible predisposition for certain diseases.”
