"Men visit their doctors 30 percent less often than women,\naccording to a recent study published in the \nJournal of Women's Health. So beyond specific maladies that\nmay prompt visits, guys should arrive at each doctor's appointment\nknowing which tests to request, says Emily Senay, M.D., author of \nFrom Boys to Men: A Woman's Guide to the Health of Husbands,\nPartners, Sons, Fathers, and Brothers.\nIn addition to health history, Senay recommends that men discuss\nthe following points with their docs at their next visit:\n\nBlood pressure. High readings can be a predictor of heart\nconditions and may indicate that you need to make preventative diet\nand exercise changes.\n\nSkin cancer screenings. Men are less likely to wear\nsunscreen and often miss the signs of sun damage, Senay says. Have\na physician or dermatologist check for unusual moles or\nlesions.\n\nDiabetes and cholesterol levels. Two simple blood tests can\nreveal your cholesterol levels and whether you've developed\ndiabetes, an often-undetected problem in men.\n\nProstate protection. Discuss any below-the-belt pain or\nissues that may be affecting you, and ask for a prostate exam and a\ncolon checkup.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
