For long-term good health, it is important to have regular visits with your family physician.

Even if there are no unusual symptoms or problems, a yearly check-up is a must. Talking to your doctor about topics such as weight management, sleeping habits, sexual health, and screenings and tests are all important. This can increase your chances of a successful treatment or recovery. Annual screenings may be necessary in some cases to prevent illness.

Learn Your History

Keep your doctor informed about your family’s history of health, particularly in relation to heart disease, cancer, blood pressure, and other conditions.

Talk to your doctor if you notice any changes in your health, such as pain, dizziness, mood changes, problems with stress management, or changes in your eating and bathroom habits.

Your lifestyle should be discussed with your doctor. Your doctor should know if you smoke, drink, or are sexually active.

Freak in the Sheets sex toy tips

Tip No. 1:

Although it’s tempting to buy dildo toys from the Freak in the Sheets safe environment of your computer, I’d recommend that you go to an actual brick and mortar shop, at least until you’re comfortable enough to know what to search for, which brands you prefer, etc. My favorite store is called Early to Bed in Edgewater.

Tip No. 2:

Start cheap. Although the cheaper ones aren’t likely to last for as long (if you take good care of them they might), but nothing hurts more than dumping a large lump (of cash) on the crystal double dodg only to realize that you don’t enjoy it. Don’t overspend.

Tip No. 3:

Start with a small amount. It’s tempting to reach to the Ron Jeremy dildo, as it looks small in comparison to the wine-sized dildo behind it. However, the general consensus is that our eyes can sometimes be bigger than our vaginas. It is better to work your way to the top of the scale, especially if you are trying out anal playthings.

Receive Recommended Screenings

Some of the screenings and tests your doctor may recommend throughout your life include:

* Cholesterol. All healthy adults should have their cholesterol tested by age 20. It should be checked again every four to six months. A higher number means a greater risk of developing heart disease.

* Check your blood pressure. It should be checked at least every two years. Your risk of stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease increases if you have high blood pressure.

* Diabetes. This condition is especially important if you have diabetes in the family, have diabetes-related health problems, are obese or sedentary, have had gestational diabetes during pregnancy or have any other risk factors.

* Colorectal cancer. This screening is required for most adults over 50. Discuss the various types of screenings with your doctor.

For Men:

Ask your doctor about the pros & cons of testing for prostate cancer. Are you between 65 and 75 years old? Have you ever smoked? Ask about screening for abdominal aneurysm if you are positive.

For women:

Every year, you should talk to your doctor about your risk factors and recommend screenings for cervical cancer, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.
