Men should have regular screenings based on their age and risk factors. Recommended screenings include blood pressure checks, cholesterol and blood sugar tests, prostate cancer screenings (such as the PSA test), colorectal cancer screenings, and screenings for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Men should also discuss mental health, testicular health, and any other concerns with their healthcare provider during routine check-ups.

Men can improve their overall health by adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol, managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and attending regular medical check-ups. Preventive measures such as vaccinations, screenings for conditions like prostate cancer, and mental health support are also important for maintaining long-term health.

Common health issues that affect men include cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, prostate problems (such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer), erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, depression and anxiety, and chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Men are also more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and avoiding regular medical check-ups, which can negatively impact health.
