June is Men's Health Month and as part of our Health & Wellness Initiative, we'll be spotlighting Ascension SE Wisconsin Hospital - Franklin Campus.

Men are at higher risk for many serious diseases, including heart disease, lung cancer and HIV. Men also face unique health problems that don’t affect women, like prostate cancer. To improve men’s health, it’s important to raise awareness about preventive screenings and regular health care for men of all ages. Certain diseases and conditions may not have symptoms, so checkups help identify issues early before they can become a problem.

Some general guidelines for age-appropriate screenings are listed below:

• In your 20s: Get your annual health exam.

• In your 30s: Continue with your annual health exam.

• In your 40s: Begin getting colonoscopies. Men at increased risk for prostate cancer should also begin speaking to your provider about PSA-based prostate cancer screening.

• 50 and older: Continue getting regular colonoscopies and start or continue prostate cancer screenings. Older individuals should talk with your doctor about other screening tests.
