  2. INTRODUCTION Performing screening tests at the right time is most important thing every man should do for his health. These screenings done at a private clinic in London help to detect diseases at an early stage before there are symptoms that can be treated easily. The tests are usually based on your age and other risk factors. Read on to know about different types of cancer.

  3. PROSTATE CANCER Prostate cancer is most common after skin cancer. It tends to be a slow- growing cancer however, there are fast-growing kinds of prostate cancer. Screening tests can help to find this disease early before the symptoms develop when the treatments are most effective.

  4. TESTICULAR CANCER This cancer develops in the testicles or reproductive glands of a man that produce sperm. These cases usually occur between the age group of 20 and 54 years. All men should perform testicular exam when they visit their gp for routine checkup at private clinics in London.

  5. CHOLESTEROL LEVELS If there is higher level of LDL cholesterol in blood, then this causes sticky plaque for building up in the arteries. Atherosclerosis may develop without any symptoms which can lead to heart attack and stroke overtime. Lifestyle changes and medications can decrease bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

  6. COLORECTAL CANCER Colorectal cancer is the second common cause of death from cancer. Men have a slightly higher risk of developing this type of cancer than women. Colon cancers slowly occur from colon polyps and once it develops, it can attack or spread to other body parts.

  7. SKIN CANCER The dangerous form of skin cancer is melanoma that begins in specialized cells known as melanocytes. Older men are likely to suffer from melanoma when compared to women. Your risk increases to direct sun exposure when tanning beds accumulates and sunburns accelerate the danger.

  8. High Blood Pressure The risk for high blood pressure increases as men tend to grow old. This is somewhat related to their weight and lifestyle. High blood pressure can cause serious complications such as dangerous ballooning of an artery. When this occurs, you may lessen the risk for stroke, heart disease and kidney failure.

  9. TYPE 2 Diabetes Uncontrolled diabetes can be the reason for stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, blindness from blood vessels damage of retina, impotence and nerve damage. If it is detected early, diabetes can be controlled and further complications can be avoided by doing regular exercise, taking proper diet, weight loss and medications.

  10. HIV Screening Tests The only way to know if they are HIV- infected is by performing certain blood tests. The first test is known as ELISA or EIA that looks for antibodies to HIV in the blood. The second test is called a Western blot assay that is done for confirmation.

  11. GLAUCOMA This group of eye diseases usually cause damage to optic nerve and may cause blindness. There can be permanent vision loss that occurs before people with glaucoma even find any symptoms. Screening tests performed at the private clinic in Harley Street will detect abnormally high pressure within the eyes to treat this condition before any damage to optic nerve.
