Men’s physical health is a very important matter in a family, because men are the backbone of the family. In order to maintain men’s health for a long time, regular physical examinations are very necessary. There are many items in the physical examination. Men should focus on surgery and internal medicine, because diseases generally occur from the inside and outside, and external diseases are the easiest to detect. Let’s take a look at what men should pay attention to during surgical examinations?

Surgical examination has certain diagnostic significance and can detect lymph node enlargement: the causes of lymph node enlargement are mostly inflammation or tuberculosis, but some tumor metastasis, such as nasopharyngeal, thyroid, esophageal, lung cancer, etc., first appear in lymph nodes, while lymphoma may first swell in lymph nodes outside the neck, armpits, or groin. Enlarged lymph nodes around the clavicle may also be metastasis of stomach, intestinal, and lung tumors.

Before the physical examination, it is best to consult the doctor one week in advance about some of the recent medications, especially those that enhance sexual function, whether they need to be discontinued. Before the semen is collected, the examinee should avoid sexual intercourse within 3 to 5 days, but not more than 7 days, and should avoid excessive fatigue. For men who need to hold their urine for B-ultrasound examination, they can empty their urine before going to the hospital and drink 500 to 1000 ml of mineral water after arriving at the hospital.

2. Children and adolescent males should pay attention to the following: The main examinations include the presence of phimosis, external genital malformations, cryptorchidism, and penile hypoplasia, which can usually be discovered through doctor's observation.

3. Men aged 20 to 50 need to pay attention: Since they are in an age group with more frequent sexual activities, men should begin to pay attention to the observation of sexual function, such as sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, etc., and prostate examination to see if there is prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis; men of childbearing age should pay attention to sperm motility examination.
