Men’s Life Stage 4 | Back to you
- Overview
You are more experienced than ever before and more prepared to deal with the challenges life throws at you. You know that staying healthy is the key to a long and happy life.
Whether it’s getting your prostate screened or checking for testicular lumps and bumps, early detection is essential to help tackle potentially serious issues.
You may suddenly be confronted by complications like curvature of the penis, impotence, or difficulty passing urine, which is not only uncomfortable, but can also be a warning sign of something more severe.
It’s more important than ever to keep regular checks on your health.
