DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I just turned 45, and I think guys my age are due for some health screenings. Which ones should I prioritize, and how often should I get them?
ANSWER: Congratulations for getting these important health checks on your radar. Historically, men have been hesitant to seek medical attention when something seems wrong with their health. Also, they aren’t as likely as women to have preventive screenings and checkups. This is a problem because early detection is the best way to effectively treat and manage a medical issue.
