Despite the fact that the article is devoted to the health of men, but first a little about women. Even at an early school age, girls are examined by a gynecologist, and women fulfill this positive factor for the rest of their lives. Of course, there are exceptions, but the vast majority of women annually (and sometimes twice a year) undergo a preventive examination by a gynecologist, which allows you to identify most gynecological diseases at an early stage and, accordingly, cure them much faster and more successfully.
What happens to men. For the first time in their lives, most of the boys are examined by a surgeon at the stage of the pre-conscription commission on the line of military duty. This is about 16 years old. And many men are not subject to examination by a urologist - andrologist at all. Many representatives of the "strong" sex believe that if nothing hurts, you do not need to go to the doctor. Moreover, even if it doesn’t hurt much, it means you don’t need to go anyway, because. A “strong” man should not be a “weakling” and complain, this is the grossest delusion, since not all diseases manifest themselves as a pain symptom (i.e., pain). And accordingly, when pain occurs, this only indicates that the body's protective resources have been exhausted and the disease is at a late (in other words, advanced) stage. Which, accordingly, is much more difficult, longer and, there is nothing to hide, it is more expensive to treat.
In developed countries, a system of male preventive examinations has long been established and it is not at all considered shameful if a man comes to the doctor without any complaints just to check the state of his male health, but on the contrary, it is fashionable and honorable to be healthy.
For the sake of truth, it must be said that there are such men now in our state, but unfortunately there are very few of them. So, dear men, if you are 35 years old and you have never been to a urologist - andrologist, then this time has come and there are not even any complaints - you need to pass this examination. If you have more than one sexual partner, you must definitely be tested for STDs (predominantly sexually transmitted diseases), because. the insidiousness of many infections is that they can occur for many years without causing any symptoms, but manifest themselves already when complications of these infections have arisen in the form of prostatitis, orchitis and others.
If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, or are prone to frequent hypothermia, then you need to undergo an ultrasound examination of the prostate gland - TRUS. This study allows you to suspect and identify prostatitis at the stage when, again, the man is almost not bothered by anything. According to WHO (World Health Organization) statistics, up to 30% of all prostatitis occur without symptoms.
