Men’s Health Month Awareness: 5 Screenings Every Man Should Schedule

Let’s face it—most men don’t think about their health until something hurts. But by then? It could already be too late.

That’s why Men’s Health Month exists: to put the spotlight back where it belongs—on prevention, early detection, and taking charge of your health before things spiral.

So here’s your no-nonsense checklist. These are five essential health screenings every man should schedule right now, especially if you’re over 30, overworked, or just overdue.

1. Testosterone & Hormone Panel

Tired all the time? Gaining weight for no reason? Zero libido?
These aren’t “just signs of aging”—they’re red flags.

A full hormone panel measures:

  • Testosterone (Total + Free)

  • Estrogen

  • DHEA

  • Cortisol

  • Thyroid Function (TSH, T3, T4)

Knowing your numbers gives you the power to fight fatigue, weight gain, and low sex drive head-on—with real, medical solutions.

🧬 Pro Tip: At Limitless Male, we include this panel in every initial consultation.

2. Prostate Cancer Screening

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men—but it’s also one of the most treatable if caught early.

  • PSA Blood Test: Checks for elevated prostate-specific antigen levels.

  • Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): A quick, important physical exam to detect abnormalities.

If you’re over 40 or have a family history of prostate cancer, this test isn’t optional—it’s vital.

3. Cardiovascular & Cholesterol Check

You can’t feel high cholesterol. Or elevated blood pressure. Or early-stage heart disease.

That’s why it’s called the silent killer.

A routine blood panel should include:

  • Lipid Profile (HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)

  • Blood Pressure

  • A1C & Glucose (to check for diabetes risk)

Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death for men. But regular checkups can keep your heart running like a machine.

4. Colon Cancer Screening

Uncomfortable? Maybe. Unavoidable? Absolutely.

Starting at age 45, men should get screened for colorectal cancer—even sooner with a family history. Options include:

  • Colonoscopy (every 10 years)

  • Stool-based tests (yearly)

Colon cancer is highly preventable. Skip the awkward jokes—book the screening.

5. Mental Health Assessment

Let’s kill the stigma.
Anxiety. Burnout. Depression. They’re not signs of weakness—they’re signs you’ve been carrying too much, for too long.

A simple screening with your provider can:

  • Evaluate for depression and anxiety

  • Address sleep issues and chronic stress

  • Identify hormone imbalances that affect mood

Men are less likely to seek help—but more likely to die by suicide. Let’s rewrite that narrative.

🎯 Bottom Line

This Men’s Health Month, don’t wait for a warning sign to act. Be proactive. Get your bloodwork done. Screen for what matters. Talk to someone.
