Because prevention isn’t just smart—it’s strength. These are the health screenings every man should have, every year.
Most men are good at ignoring warning signs—until a small issue becomes a big one. But the truth is, your yearly checkup isn’t just a formality. It’s one of the most powerful tools for staying strong, preventing disease, and catching problems early—when they’re easiest to treat.
We encourage men to take charge of their health before something feels “off.” These routine screenings and check-ins are quick, effective, and tailored to your age, risk factors, and lifestyle.
Here’s your no-nonsense guide to what every man should include in his annual health checklist.
🩺 Physical Exam
This comprehensive exam is the foundation of your checkup. It includes vitals (blood pressure, heart rate), body mass index (BMI), and a review of your health history, habits, and concerns.
👀 What to watch for: Skipping annual visits because “nothing hurts” or only going to the doctor when you’re sick.
💡 Pro tip: Even if you feel great, your provider may notice subtle changes that help prevent future issues.
🧪 Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, and Cholesterol
High blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels often have no symptoms—but they silently increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
💬 Sound familiar? You haven’t had your bloodwork done in years, or don’t know your latest numbers.
💡 Pro tip: A simple blood panel can provide early warning signs and a roadmap for improving your heart and metabolic health.
🧠 Mental Health Screening
Your mental well-being is just as important as your physical health. Routine checkups can uncover signs of depression, anxiety, stress, or burnout—especially when life gets overwhelming.
👀 What to watch for: Mood changes, sleep issues, low motivation, or feeling “off” without a clear cause.
💡 Pro tip: Bring it up. Even a simple conversation can open the door to meaningful support—and real relief.
🧔 Prostate & Testicular Health
Depending on your age and risk factors, your provider may recommend a prostate exam or PSA blood test. Regular self-exams and clinical check-ins can help detect testicular cancer early.
💡 Pro tip: Know your family history. If prostate cancer runs in your family, screening may need to start earlier than age 50.
🔎 Skin, Vision, and Hearing Checks
As you age, your risk for skin cancer, vision loss, and hearing decline increases—especially if you work outdoors, use screens heavily, or are around loud environments.
👀 What to watch for: New moles, trouble reading small print, or frequently asking others to repeat themselves.
💡 Pro tip: Schedule a full-body skin check, eye exam, and hearing test if you haven’t had one in the past year.
