Whether you need a physical exam for sports or work, the Men’s Vitality Center provides convenient physical exams to men of all ages in a comfortable, friendly environment.
Some men avoid physicals unless they absolutely have to get them. However, knowing what to expect during your physical exam will certainly ease your mind and make things go smoothly. Here are just a few things that men can expect during their next physical exam at the Men’s Vitality Center.
Testicular Exam
You may receive a testicular exam in order to check for lumps that may be cancer or other harmful conditions that affect the testicles.
Hernia Exam
Also known as the “turn your head and cough” exam, the hernia exam checks for any weaknesses in the abdominal wall between the intestines and scrotum.
Prostate Exam
Your physician will also want to perform a prostate exam after you’re 50 years old, if your insurance company requests it to qualify for Testosterone Replacement Therapy, or if you symptoms consistent with a prostate issue. Your doctor will need to feel the prostate to evaluate its size and to inspect for any suspicious areas around and on the prostate.
REMAIN KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
An annual physical exam is more extensive than a wellness exam where many of the tests and screenings listed above are given. A yearly Medicare wellness exam includes routine measurements, such as height and weight, and a review of your medical history, medications and medical providers. A wellness exam is also used to screen for cognitive impairments and set up screenings or other preventive services for future dates.
Physical exams and wellness exams can catch medical problems before they start. Through screenings and tests done at each yearly exam you can successfully identify and treat potential illnesses that may arise. This increases your ability to live a long, healthy life.
Complete and bring any paperwork the doctor’s office requests along with your insurance and ID card. Prepare a list of medications you are currently taking and write down any health concerns that you may have. Think about any health problems or changes you have noticed that you want to ask the doctor about. For instance, have you noticed any changes in your body? Have you had any trouble sleeping or changes in your eating habits? Write them all down and bring them with you to your appointment. What is the difference between a wellness exam and an annual physical exam?
