Men avoid seeing doctors

If you want to remain healthy, many research has evaluated that it is necessary to see a doctor at least every once in a while for a proper analysis, and constant check-ups. However, many people avoid these constant visits. Many of these people are the men of the United States.

 These statistics will prove this point:

Medical examinations and tests taken in the last 12 months:

• Eye examination: men – 51%, women – 54%
 
• High cholesterol: men – 38%, women – 42%

• Cancer: men – 32%, women – 55%

• Prostate: men – 23%

• Digital rectal exam: men – 21%

• Colon cancer: men – 15%, women – 14%

• Breast cancer: women – 38%

• Cervical cancer: women – 38%

• Diabetes: men – 25%, women – 31%

• Blood fat profile: men – 22%, women – 19%

• Echo diagram: men – 18%, women – 19%

• Asthma/allergies: men – 14%, women – 20%

• Body fat analysis: men – 12%, women – 12%

• Osteoporosis: women – 17%

• None of these: men – 29%, women – 13%

If you are reading this, you shouldn’t get too carried away and think immediately that women get their constant check-ups. All cases are different. These are just statistics, which you should not refer to as a personal schedule. No matter what gender you are, if you get the proper health insurance, you should definitely get constant check-ups with your doctor. If you sign up for an HMO, keep in mind that you are going to need to visit a doctor that your health insurance company picks out for you. If you purchase a PMO, which is more expensive, then you can have your pick of a doctor.
