Tests for monitoring men's hormonal health include:
 

• Testosterone level test
• Thyroid function tests
• Cortisol level test
• Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) test
• Luteinizing hormone (LH) test

After age 40, men should consider the following health tests:
 

• Prostate cancer screening - The American Cancer Society guidelines recommend a discussion about the benefits and risks of prostate cancer screening for all men at average risk of prostate cancer beginning at age 50, while some other medical groups (such as the American Urological Association) recommend waiting until 55 years old.¹ Men at increased risk could start considering prostate screening even earlier.
• Colorectal cancer screening - The American Cancer Society guidelines recommend that people at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45.²
• Cholesterol and lipid panel test
• Testosterone testing
   

It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider about which specific tests are right for you based on your individual health history and risk factors.

Getting tested for STIs is an important part of your overall health. How often you should get tested depends on your age, sexual activity, and risk factors. The CDC recommends the following STI screening guidelines³:
 

• All adult men should be tested at least once for HIV
• Annual chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis screening for sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who has sex with men (MSM)
• All adults should be tested for hepatitis B and C at least once in their lifetime
• For heterosexual men, screening is recommended based on individual risk factors and as recommended by healthcare providers
   

Your healthcare provider may recommend more frequent or additional testing based on your risk factors. Regular STI screening is an important part of maintaining your sexual health and overall well-being.
