During your initial men’s health appointment, your Halper Family Medicine doctor thoroughly reviews your personal medical history and your family history. This information can help determine if you need specific screenings due to your current health risks or conditions that run in your family.
Following a discussion of your overall health, your doctor performs a physical exam to check for abnormalities in your major systems. During the exam, you can expect an evaluation of your:
- Skin
- Eyes
- Ears
- Heart
- Lungs
Your Halper Family Medicine doctor also tests your muscle strength and flexibility, evaluating your overall physical condition and current weight.
If you need immunizations, including seasonal flu vaccines, a men’s health exam is a great time to get up-to-date on all vaccinations.
