Although men of all ages should have routine checkups with their physicians, it is very rare for men to begin seeking routine care until they are in their 40s. While there may be many individual reasons for this, men are generally reluctant to see physicians routinely because of the following:

• Cost

• Lack of time

• Lack of trust

• Discomfort in discussing their own health

• Fear

There are some people who are afraid to visit their doctors at to a specific age. But, it is recommended that after the age of 40 years a person should start giving visits to his personal doctors with prescribed tests and care in food, diet and health.

It is mostly seen and even surveyed that – every third men in India is associated with some or the other problem like – Diabetes, Heart problem, Eye-sight problem, Stomach or lungs problem. This is all because of the care which men do not take in their young age and enjoys their life with drinks and smoke.

The other problem which is mainly seen with Indian men is chewing tobacco. Health problems potentially affecting adolescent males include the abuse of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs; overexposure to the sun; unhealthy eating habits; and sexually transmitted diseases.

Most men between the ages of 20 and 39 enjoy relatively good health. Their bodies do not change much physiologically, and their health concerns are often focused on sexuality, reproduction, and preventing accidents. Additional health concerns may include weight gain due to excessive calorie consumption, alcohol or drug abuse, skin cancer.

The onset and increased rate of hair loss in men between the ages of 40 and 65 is often the first sign of aging. It is almost entirely genetically determined and nearly impossible to prevent. Prescribed medications may promote hair growth in some men, particularly if they seek medical attention when hair loss is first apparent. Even if effective in a particular man, these drugs probably need to be taken for his entire lifetime if he wishes not to become bald. In the same way, a man in this age group has little ability to control changes in his eyesight. Almost all men will develop presbyopia (a reduced ability to focus on nearby images) during this age period and will need some sort of corrective lens–spectacles or contact lenses–for reading and similar activities. On the other hand, although a slight decline in hearing acuity is common as men age, hearing loss caused by loud noises is preventable to some degree. Men who work in noisy environments should wear ear protection on the job. Musicians or people who spend a lot of time listening to live music should wear ear protection; frequently listening to very loud music on head phone scan cause lasting hearing loss, as well.
