I know Men's Health Week is over (and it was a great week with lots of fun discussion), but here's a quick post I wanted to make last week, and of course forgot in the midst of tons of work.
Naturopathy is all about proactive medicine that empowers patients to help themselves, and one thing I think would be great for males to do once they are around 20, and especially between the ages of 20-39 is a testicular cancer exam. This exam is incredibly easy and doesn't take a very long time, and it definitely worth your time to do. Here is a quick video describing the process for the exam. You can do it in the shower quite easily, and I'd say doing it at least once a month or so would be very beneficial. You will have a good idea of what is normal, and be able to notice any abnormal changes in your testicles at a much earlier stage. Keep in mind that not all abnormal masses on the testicles are cancerous, but it is always better to find a problem at an early stage. Be proactive and help support your good male reproductive health!
- On a side note, I don't want to leave out the women, and I do think it is important for women to do self breast exams on a monthly basis as well, so here is a video for that as well.
