Medical test men need in their 20's

 

1. Testicular self-examination (TSE)

 

Testicular self-examination is an easy way for guys to check for first signs of testicular cancer.

Although testicular cancer is rare in teenage boys, overall it is the most common cancer in males between the ages of 15 and 35. It's important to do a TSE every month so you can become familiar with the normal size and shape of your testicles, making it easier to tell if something feels different or abnormal in the future.

2. Vaccine Booster

It's important to protect children against certain diseases. But did you know you should protect yourself, too? Some of your childhood vaccinations might have worn off, leaving you unprotected. At your next physical, ask your health care provider if you're up-to-date on all recommended adult vaccinations.

 


 

3. STD/STI Health Check

Lots of people are confused about getting tested for STIs. For example, you may think your annual medical check-up will include tests for STIs, especially if your healthcare provider knows you are sexually active. The fact is that some providers might test for some infections when you come in for a regular check-up, while others do not test for any STI unless you ask them to.

If you’ve had unprotected sex, have a new partner (or more than one partner), or for any reason are worried you have been exposed to an STI, talk to your healthcare provider about getting tested. Get tested for these leading common STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, herpes, HPV, syphilis and trichomoniasis. If your healthcare provider feels you do not need to be checked for some of these, you will at least know which ones you were tested for and which ones you were not.
