4️⃣ Diabetes test. If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, your doctor will test you for diabetes. If you are overweight, your doctor will also test your cholesterol.
5️⃣ Prostate cancer test. Suppose you are considering undergoing a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test or digital rectal examination (DRE). In that case, talking to your doctor about the many benefits of early prostate cancer detection is essential.
5️⃣ Test for sexually transmitted diseases. You should consider the possibility of having HIV if you have ever had multiple blood transfusions or had sex with strangers.
7️⃣ Depression test. This is the most controversial topic after sexually transmitted diseases. Many men are used to keeping silent about any problem they experience. Occasionally, we all feel sad, but that doesn’t have to mean that we are depressed. There are specific “justifiable” reasons for depression: losing a job, getting sick or dying of a loved one, or work stress alone.
If you’ve been sad, hopeless, uninterested in doing things, or just wanted to sleep all the time for two weeks, talk to your doctor. You may find that with some help, you can return to a happy, everyday life. But don’t let your doctor prescribe antidepressant medications. Taking pills without doing anything to change the situation or your attitude will only get worse over time.
