We need to get better at recognising the warning signs and talking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA family history of cancer may put you at higher risk, which is another reason to tell our loved ones. And when we catch it early, cancer is easier to treat and your chance of recovery is higher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/testicular-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">testicular cancer<\/a> isn\u2019t common, it affects men between the ages of 15 and 49 years. Regularly checking the size and weight of testicles, as well for swelling or lumps will help to identify when something\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/breast-cancer-in-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Breast cancer<\/a> also affects men over the age of 60 and sometimes younger. Although rarer, it\u2019s important men check their chest, armpit and collarbone area for anything unusual, including new lumps, changes to skin texture or the size or any discharge from the nipple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThough it can feel strange to do this, it\u2019s important you\u2019re familiar with how your body feels. If you have a sudden or ongoing pain, a lump that wasn\u2019t there before or unexplained bleeding, these should be checked by a healthcare professional,\u201d adds Dr Mandiratta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you have symptoms you can\u2019t explain or that are worrying you, you should contact your GP practice. These include coughs lasting over three weeks, blood in your urine or stools, or a change in a mole or a persistent sore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOften, it\u2019s nothing to worry about and you\u2019ll have peace of mind. But we want to detect problems early on so if it is serious, we can help you get appropriate treatment sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grab your jab: There is still time to have the first two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 is still here, but your vaccination will help to protect you and your loved ones from serious illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NHS health screening \u2013 your MOT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/patient-with-doctor-consultation_23-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46380\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI always advise my patients and friends to take-up the offer of the range of NHS screening programmes,\u201d Dr Mandiratta, \u201cIt helps to identify health risks and signs of disease they might not see or feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NHS screening can help identify if you\u2019re at risk of serious health problems. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>\u2022   <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/bowel-cancer-screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bowel cancer screening<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 everyone aged 60 to 74 will be sent a home testing kit, called a Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT kit for short), in the post by the NHS. This is gradually being expanded to include people aged 50 to 59. People aged 75 and over can also request a kit, which is used to collect a tiny stool sample to be analysed for traces of blood that could be a sign of bowel cancer. \n\u2022   <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening<\/a><\/strong> - offered to men aged 65 and over, who are most at risk. Using an ultrasound, this checks for a bulge or swelling in the aorta, the main blood vessel from the heart through the tummy. If an aneurysm bursts, it can be life-threatening. \n\u2022   <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/diabetic-eye-screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diabetic eye screening<\/a><\/strong> for those aged 12 years and over who have diabetes.

It often has no symptoms and can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.

Your GP practice can advise you about diet, exercise and treatment,\u201d says Dr Mandiratta.<br>\u2022 You might also be offered a blood test to measure your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/high-cholesterol\/getting-tested\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cholesterol<\/a>. This is a type of fat which can build up in the arteries, increasing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.<br>\u2022 A man\u2019s risk of developing prostate cancer increases with age, and men over 50 or who have a family history of prostate cancer can request a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test from their GP. This measures levels of a protein which can be raised if you have prostate cancer. But it\u2019s important to discuss results with your doctor because a raised level doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you have cancer. Prostate cancer usually doesn\u2019t have symptoms in its early stages, but if you need to urinate more often, have blood in your semen or urine, are straining or have a stinging or burning sensation when urinating, or notice changes to your urine flow, wake at night to pass urine or your bladder feels like it isn\u2019t emptying fully, you should seek advice from your GP as soon as possible.

But if it\u2019s cold outside, you might prefer to go to swimming, or even being active at home. Activities such as yoga or Pilates will help build your strength but you won\u2019t need lots of equipment to enjoy them.
