It’s important to know your own body and what is normal for you. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and talk to your doctor or nurse.

This is a great opportunity for you to find out about any potential problems before they lead to worse health issues. A simple and painless test can determine if you are at risk of contracting STIs, as well as a whole host of other conditions.

Health checks can keep you and your partner safe from serious sexually transmitted infections.

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men between the ages of 15 and 49, so it is important that men who have reached this age go through regular tests. This form of cancer is incredibly treatable if caught early enough, but is often fatal if left untreated. Regular visits to the doctor can ensure that you are aware of any potential problems early on, which will allow you to get treatment before it becomees too late.

Men and women who are sexually active should regularly get checked for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). And if you think that only happens at college health centres, think again.

Tests can be done at any age, so it’s never too soon to start getting regularly tested. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, it’s important to know your status and get treated right away if you have an STD.

Checking for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is about more than just protecting your reputation or your relationship: it’s about your overall health. Although a lot of people are under the impression that STDs are an inevitable part of having sex, that’s not true! Many common STDs (and most uncommon ones) can be prevented by practicing safe sex, but in order to do that, you need to know what you’re up against.

Tests for sexually transmitted diseases can be done in a number of ways, depending on what you’re looking for. The most common test is a Pap Smear, which is used to detect cervical cancer in women. There are also tests to identify chlamydia and gonorrhea, and even HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). Those who engage in sexual activity with multiple partners should consider getting tested every three months — this will help protect against the spread of disease as well as reassure you that you’re uninfected.
