Men don’t see a doctor as often as they should. As a matter of fact, 65 percent of men said they avoid going to the doctor as long as possible. This medical avoidance puts men at risk.

Should I Have A Physical?

Men older than 50 should have a yearly physical exam, and men younger than 50 should have a physical exam every three to five years. If you can not remember your last physical, it is definitely time. Even if you are feeling healthy, a regular checkup with your provider is a good way to validate your health or identify a problem in its early stages.

What to Expect at Your Physical

An annual male medical exam at American Family Care locations in Philadelphia PA gives you a solid picture of your health. Find out if you need to make changes or if you’re on the right track. During your physical exam, your provider will check your:

  • Medical History - This is your chance to mention any complaints or concerns about your health. We will ask you about lifestyle behaviors like smoking, excessive alcohol use, sexual health, diet, and exercise. Your AFC Urgent Care locations in the Philadelphia, PA, area have providers who will also check your vaccination status and update your personal and family medical history.
  • Pulse - We will measure your pulse to help detect any heart conditions.
  • Weight, Height, BMI - These tests help us determine if you’re at a healthy weight. Taking your height, gender, and age into account, the providers at AFC Urgent Care locations in the Philadelphia, PA, area can determine if you are at a healthy weight with a calculation of body mass index (BMI). Overweight and obesity are serious health concerns that can lead to a number of obesity-related health conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes.
  • Blood Pressure - Screening for high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is important to ensure overall health. Frequently, hypertension has no visible symptoms yet can cause serious health conditions if left untreated.
  • O2 Saturation - We will measure the oxygen-saturated hemoglobin in your blood. While this measurement can vary depending on your current altitude and activity level, these tests can inform us whether you are in a safe range.
  • General Appearance - The AFC Urgent Care providers in the Philadelphia, PA, area gather a large amount of information about you and your health just by watching and talking to you. How are your memory and mental quickness? Does your skin appear healthy? Can you easily stand and walk?
  • Heart and Lung Exam - Listening to your heart and lungs with a stethoscope, a doctor might detect an irregular heartbeat, a heart murmur, or other clues to heart disease. The doctor will listen for crackles, wheezing, or decreased breathing sounds, all clues to the presence of heart or lung disease.
  • Head and Neck Exam - Opening up and saying "ah" shows off your throat and tonsils. The quality of your teeth and gums also provides information about your overall health. Ears, nose, sinuses, eyes, lymph nodes, thyroid, and carotid arteries may also be examined.
  • Blood panel testing - Blood testing measures fatty substances, lipid fats, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), as well as blood sugar levels to check for signs of diabetes. Since AFC Urgent Care locations in the Philadelphia, PA, area have a lab onsite, we can take your blood right there in the clinic.
  • Prostate check - Starting at age 50, men should be digitally examined for prostate cancer to check for enlargement of the prostate, which could indicate a tumor.
  • AFC Urgent Care locations in the Philadelphia, PA, area are walk-in clinics, no appointments are required. Simply see us today for a physical exam. We accept most forms of health insurance and provide on-site lab testing for your convenience.
