Men commonly avoid the doctor—whether it’s a regular checkup, a physical or prostate exam, labs, or even visiting a specialist. This not only prevents men from getting the care they need when they need it, but also makes them more likely to develop serious issues that become irreversible.
At Crescent Beach Care, we want to make sure all our patients receive high-quality, dedicated care. But in this blog, we’re going to specifically address our male patients and talk about why they should prioritize their health and regularly visit their provider for cancer screening in St. Augustine.
1) Detect Cancer Before It Becomes Dangerous
Many forms of cancer are asymptomatic in their early stages, and without regular screenings, you may not notice anything is wrong until the cancer is in its later stages. When cancer is more developed, it becomes harder to treat. Getting regular screenings allows you to identify and treat cancer before it can dramatically impact your health.
2) Give Your Family Peace of Mind
Almost all of our male patients have families that care about them. Even if you are not concerned about your health, your family may still feel more confident having definitive answers regarding your health.
3) Less Aggressive Treatments
If your screenings do detect cancer, catching it earlier will give you more treatment options that are less painful, less invasive, and less impactful on your overall health. Regular screenings dramatically improve the likelihood of catching cancer early, so you can have an easier time treating it.
4) More Effective Treatments
When you identify cancer in the early stages, it helps increase the likelihood that the treatment you and your oncologist choose will be effective. Cancer is less aggressive in its earlier stages, making it more likely to respond positively to treatment.
Don’t Hesitate About Your Health
You deserve quality care—and early intervention is often key. We recommend you request an appointment with one of our providers to get a cancer screening, or use our treatment planning tool to see if any of our skin rejuvenation, wellness, or fat loss treatments will benefit your other needs.
