What should you pay attention to when you self-check for male diseases?

When you do a self-examination of male diseases, you need to know what to pay attention to. First of all, you should know what male diseases are and why men get such diseases. These are the most important and fundamental issues. Therefore, when you do a self-examination of male diseases, you should first read the information to understand the reasons why men get diseases, whether it is a problem with diet or a problem with daily routine. These are all issues that need attention.

Blood sampling should be done early for physical examination

Physical examinations require fasting blood samples to be collected between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning, and no later than 9:00. If the blood samples are collected too late, the blood sugar level will be distorted (even though the blood sugar level is still fasting) due to the influence of physiological endocrine hormones in the body. Therefore, the examinee should collect blood as early as possible and avoid making mistakes easily.

Stop taking medication before a physical examination

Blood sampling requires fasting, but patients with chronic diseases should be treated differently. For example, patients with hypertension need to take antihypertensive drugs every morning to maintain stable blood pressure. Abruptly stopping or delaying medication will cause a sharp rise in blood pressure and cause danger. Measure blood pressure after taking medication as usual, and the physical examination doctor can also evaluate the current antihypertensive plan. The effect of taking a small amount of antihypertensive drugs on laboratory tests is slight and can be ignored. Therefore, patients with hypertension should come for a physical examination after taking antihypertensive drugs. Patients with diabetes or other chronic diseases should also take medication in time after blood sampling, and regular treatment should not be interfered with by physical examinations.

Discard inspection items at will

The examination items set in the physical examination form include both basic items that reflect the health status of the body and some special examination items for malignant diseases and common diseases. Some examinations are of special significance for the early detection of diseases. For example, anal direct examination is very important for the detection of rectal tumors in examinees over 40 years old. Some examinees voluntarily give up the examination because of fear of trouble or shyness. If the examinee really has a disease, he will naturally lose the best time for treatment, and the consequences are self-evident.

Ignoring important medical history

Medical history, especially the history of important diseases, is an important reference for the physical examination doctor to determine the current health status of the examinee. Formulating intervention measures based on this has a very important impact on the outcome of the disease. Some examinees have the mentality of "assessing" the level of the physical examination doctor, thinking that the disease can only be found out by finding out, not by talking about it. Little do they know that the result of doing so is often counterproductive. For example, before providing treatment guidance to patients with hypertension, it is necessary to clarify key issues such as the onset time, treatment process, and medication status of their hypertension, so that further treatment opinions can be put forward in a targeted manner, including increasing or decreasing the dosage of medications, adjusting the types of medications, etc., so as to achieve the best treatment effect. For example, the examinee cannot remember the name of the medication he is taking.

Therefore, when you are doing self-examination for male diseases, when the doctor asks you about your medical history, you should calmly answer every question the doctor asks. These are important bases for the doctor to detect your own diseases. Also, if you think you are feeling unwell, you should take the initiative to tell the doctor. This will be very conducive to the normal progress of self-examination for male diseases and make the diagnosis more accurate.
