Serious Health Mistakes V

Avoiding Doctors

Seeing the doctor can be time consuming and even somewhat an embarrassing affair often requiring a ton of paper work. Even so, having regular check-ups can mean early detection and treatment thus minimizing further complications. Women should visit a gynecologist annually for a pap smear and breast exam, as well as an annual mammogram once over the age of forty.
Men should have their testicles examined for irregularities and also be checked for colon cancer. You should also be visiting your dentist and general practitioner annually. These visits maybe uncomfortable and even tedious, but they can potentially save your life.
